Sudden Impact
๐๐๐๐๐
As Harry says, 'go ahead, make my day', & this film certainly did. The story, I feel, is one of the best in the series. Though the whole set up is starting to feel fatigued. If you make it this far, you know what to expect. It doesn't aim to surprise.

The Enforcer
๐๐๐๐๐
A no nonsense cop thriller with a more straight forward narrative compared to the previous instalment. Eastwood is in usual gruff form, even with the added humour in the film. It will certainly keep you happy if you're a fan.

Malibu Express

My first step in to Andy Sidaris' "bullets, bombs & babes" series, action b-movies of the 80s & 90s. It begins with this flick following an eccentric playboy P.I. drawn in to a world of murder & blackmail. It is a glorious mess.

Magnum Force

Following on from Dirty Harry, we have got Magnum Force. A worthy sequel with just as much guts as its predecessor, though not as tidy a story. Eastwood is a tour de force in this role!

Outcome

I enjoyed this.. I think. I like seeing Keanu take on more dramatic roles. A unique look at Hollywood, its culture & the outcomes from it. Not the biggest fan of Jonah Hill "the director". This films solidifies that Martin Scorsese is a GREAT actor!

Dirty Harry
๐๐๐๐๐
This is an action packed cop-thriller that is one of the best of the genre. While most known as 'the-man-with-no-name' from the Dollar trilogy, Eastwood is equally as iconic in this role.

It's ambitious, I'll give it that. While it doesn't fully live up to its genre melding hype, this is still a good film. With strong casting to help keep it all in shape, this is the perfect "sit back, mind off" kind of film!

Any sequel that adds a David Cronenberg cameo is good in my books. Does it add much in the way of narrative? No. Though, it is more humourous, & bigger on the action.

Hard Boiled
๐๐๐๐๐
They don't make 'em like they used to! This is one of the GREATEST action films of all time. John Woo is a master at what he does. Chow Yun-fat & Tony Leung give two incredible performances. The Arrow restoration is immaculate. An absolute must watch!!!

I love films like this. No messing about. A quick set up, & straight in to the action. You think you get the premise, but it's kind of flipped on its head once you watch it. It's a really fun movie, & a helluva good time!

Well, I had a really good time. While it is lacking narratively, this is a fun easter egg filled thrill-ride, with some excellent animation. Certainly enough to keep the whole family entertained!

How To Make A Killing

This was a good film, though by no means was it great. It is certainly a passable comedic-thriller. It will entertain without breaking any moulds. It does leave me questioning the trajectory of Glen Powell's career.

Japanese Godfather: Conclusion

This is a gripping finale to a truly incredible trilogy. It shows the ruthlessness of the Yakuza lifestyle. Again, the performances are truly fantastic. A remarkable jewel in the crown of Japanese cinema.

I was reminded of this film recently, in more ways than one, and I needed to do a rewatch. A simple, good story of the dangers of nostalgia. It has one of my favourite quotes - "Nobody feels like an adult. That's the worlds dirty secret".

This was.. good. It never quite finds its footing narratively, nor action wise, but has its good moments. The duo of Black & Rudd make for an enjoyable pair, who make up for an otherwise middle-of-the-road showing.
