Enjoyed The Accountant 2, couldn't remember much at all from the first one mind, and as usual Affleck delivers. I'd reco' Deep Water that he did a few years back with Ana de Armas.

Looking forward to "Nobody 2".  The first was a hidden gem.  Saw Jason Statham's a "Working Man" on Prime over the weekend and it's ok for an action flick without much of a storyline.  Note it was co written and produced by Sly Stallone, but it won't be winning any oscars.  Would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been plagued right the way through by continuous adverts for QUANTAS Airways.  Yes, I know you can pay to upgrade to an ad free version, but might consider that with You Tube who has gone absolutely nuts with non skippable ads now.

Couple of oldies I watched again last week.  "The Sentinel" with Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland is decent and saw that Christopher Nolan's "Inception" was on again.  So thought I would re watch to see if I understood it second time around.  Nope!

Funny how we all have different tastes. Saw Havoc tonight and struggled to finish it. I like Tom Hardy but I felt it was a CGI mess, bit like a video game. So sorry Swiss will have to agree to disagree on that one!

Will watch that later.  Was going to watch it the other night but read that the other new action flick on Netflix "Exterritorial" was better although I must say whislt it was ok it was over long and got a bit dull.  Stumbled across on Prime "The Birdcage" last night. Seen it twice before and I stll find it funny. If anyone hasn't seen it I would highly recommend.  The late greats Robin Williams and Gene Hackman are brilliant and Nathan Lane should at least have got an Oscar nomination.  Only downside was five sets of adverts in one film all promoting a bloody Phillips Air Fryer!
The Birdcage is great and based on a French film La Cage aux Folles which is also very good. Yeah Havoc is just back to back action and violence on the usual Gareth Evans level. No time to catch your breath. Not sure why Tom Hardy walks around bow legged all the time like he spent his time riding horses. 

Will try Exterritorial tonight.

If you like black comedy then Another Simple Favour is quite fun. Not as good as the first one though. Also Screamboat is a great laugh if you like slasher comedies.

Indeed The Grey was a good film.  I forgot about the Commuter which is also decent enough.  Both Neeson and Statham would make a good "mature" James Bond!

Another film my mate told me about was The Ghosts of War a a 2020 British supernatural horror film.  Watched it last night.  Decent enough but still can't work out if I enjoyed it or not!  😂

Yea you can't go wrong with Statham or Neeson, you know what you are going to get and can just sit and enjoy a film. A working man was good, maybe Statham's best for a while, and you always get a bit of humour chucked in. Was probably 15/20 mins too long though.
Agree on Neeson in his later career settling on a niche ..all copy & paste in the main.. but enjoyable .

 ..Saints and Sinners  was surprisingly good.

The Grey was relentlessly depressing but an excellent film

Agree on Statham and Neeson although old Liam is getting on a bit now. Pity he left it so late for the action genre as he was 54 when he made Taken.  I thought A Walk Among the Tombstones and Unknown were two of his better other ones.

A mate suggested Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare the other day and I watched it last night.  I can find Ritchie a bit hit and miss at times but enjoyed this bloodthirsty romp.  Decent cast with Henry Cavill, the lovely Eiza González, and Jack Reacher's Alan Ritchson,
