Its about time to reviews some movies that I have seen.
The movies I have seen recently is Red and Unstoppable.
Now let's start with Red.
The story goes that couple of extreme, professional, old school ex-operatives. In which they get hunted down because of unknown reasons. It starts with the hardcore action hero Bruce Willis as the main character in the movie. As it progresses the movie introduces some pretty amazing actors, such as Morgan Freeman(Jack of all trades), Helen Mirren (Actress who played the Queen), John Malkovich(Also Jack of all trades) and the 'lady' of the movie is Mary-Louise Parker (quite hot I might add).
Some of you may know that the movie Red is based on a comic book. I think there are some areas that are quite dull, simply because there was an intense scene and then boom. The scene after dies down and makes the whole movie a rollcoaster, going up with excitement and action and goes down with some simple jokes and talk.
I always think that action movies should be old school style. As in Die Hard, Commando, Rambo. At start the hero either gets into trouble or realize someone they treasure gets in trouble. The middle you would realize the evil doers are planning a bigger plot than we thought they were doing. Then the big fight, where the hero goes all out trying to save the day. Throw in a couple of jokes that guarantee a chuckle throughout the movie and there you go, an hardcore, old school style action movie.
Essentially the style of old school style action movie does sort of gets mixed with this movie Red but I have to say there's been a couple of gaps that the audience may find a bit dull. Since before it was full of action and intensely, we as the audience lose all the commotion and excitement because of the gaps.
However, overall I think the movies is not bad. If you like Die Hard, Die Hard with Vengence, Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free or Die Hard). The movie does have quite an stylish lady holding an machine gun and constantly shooting at cars, that was pretty cool. Mixed in with some jokes here and there, the movie is actually pretty good (but not as good as the classic action movies).
In comparison Red and Unstoppable. I must say that unstoppable has more of a the movie speed style. The movie is quite simple, its just a series of chain events that causes a train to be unstoppable.
The intensely of the movie is actually quite good. However, I did realize that if you take away the background music of the movie, the excitement goes down. And as all movies that punches the intense into your gut that quick, the movie ends quite short. Either way in the end, I do recommend the movie to everyone to watch that wants a thrill ride with a movie.
Probably at the end of the movie, it is actually quite a simple movie, that just so happens to have a set of chain events causing the problem to become bigger and bigger.
