"Michael Jennings is not a super agent, he's an engineer."

Ever since John Woo trotted off to Hollywood, the quality of his output has gradually declined. Following the days of Hard-Boiled, A Better Tomorrow and The Killer, director Woo moved into Hollywood and made his mark with the underrated Hard Target and the exceptional action-thriller Face/Off.

Recently, Ben Affleck has made one of the most impressive come-backs and even won the Best Picture Academy award which is something that none of us actually expected.

The future kind of sucks. (430 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: Ben Affleck's character has created a machine that can predict the future! Obviously, bad guys want it so they can do EVIL things with it. Year it takes place: The near future"

2016: Films I've Watched in June (14 movies items)

"First watched 6/14/2016 Thoughts: Interesting ideas but the tone seems to jump to often and by the end the film feels as though it overstayed it's welcome by some 30 to 40 minutes. But, harmless enough and does have a few elements going for it."
