    "𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝑰 𝒇𝒊𝒔𝒉? 𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰’𝒎 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒂, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏!"

    I understand, but you're mad at something that was your own fault. This is a little slow, but there's some decent family drama. I like the theme of forging your own path, despite what people say or where you come from. Tommy Lee Jones gets a cool scene near the end, though I wish his character had more development. Same for Ben Foster. There's nothing this film does to distinguish itself, but it's good for what it is.

    I think reasoning with him is out of the question. Mark Wahlberg is extra crazy in this one. He's the only thing the movie has going for it, even if it's a bit much sometimes. The other actors don't gel with their characters. Some bad dialog feels really out of place, especially with the other pilot on the ground. The action scenes end predictably, and the ending is anti-climatic. A B movie trying to be something more. What was Mel thinking?

    "𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒆."

    Again. Charles Rane is not insane. But he has an amazing name. Another Wesley Snipes action thriller from the 1990s. Bad guys are of the usual sort. Plenty of chances to kill the protagonist but instead wait until he can get the upper hand. Rane is a good villain though, providing memorable lines and a good fight for Cutter. It tries to shake things up so that everything isn't confined to just the plane, but it's still very formulaic. The hero saves the day and gets the girl. What more could you want?

    Couldn't agree more. Nice to see a Boardwalk Empire reunion here. Definitely a slow burn that doesn't really offer anything new. The performances are good, especially Shannon as the Police Chief who hates what has become of his town. It's turned him racist, and that bothers him. The Reverend is a conflicted man, but his actions show that he isn't worth saving. It ends appropriately for him, though not for everyone he affects. Decent pandemic movie.
