This week, there are many choices at the movies, let’s see what’s up!
Free Fire
This very short, and strange little independent flick is 91 minutes of violence, fun, and flat out irony. I have never really seen a movie like it.
Set in 1978, it’s the story of a few “gangs” if you will, who end up shooting up themselves and an abandoned building after an arms sale deal goes wrong. This movie is essentially a bunch of people shooting at each other the entire time. Who is going t make it out?
As strange as this sounds, and is, it is pretty good. They do develop the characters pretty well, in the midst of all of this gunfire, and it does keep you wondering who is going to make it out. A solid cast, and an original idea make this work.
Not for everyone, but this will find a way.
Gifted
This movie is gaining momentum and is really a feel good flick, and it’s right on time with that. Chris Evans (Captain America) is quite good as a uncle raising a literal genius 7 year old little girl. He is determined to raise her as a regular kid, when others want her to be raised differently.
He is terrific in this, as is the supporting cast. This movie makes you feel – a lot. This is very good all the way around. This movie also does not wear out it’s welcome and ends right on time. This little movie may get lost in the Spring Break shuffle, but this is worth a ticket for a date, or a family night out.
Well done – Very well done!
Unforgettable
Simple here. Rosario Dawson and Katherine Heigl “star” in EASILY the worst movie of the year so far.
And it may be tough to pass. This is a putrid mess.
