F/X2 (1991)

Some one should remake this

[5/10 · 19 September 2023]

I think both the synopsis and the script are great... Effects as well, however, the directing and acting are terrible... The whole movie is based on a man (cop) getting killed and characters just go along with that story as if their car just got stratched. Can make the same movie with all the same ideas on the script but properly implemented. Action scenes are pathetic, not believable enough, the sound production and the synced music they all seem made by a kid (highly unprofessional).

In my opinion, a movie depends on 3 basic factors (in order of importance):

• Story
• Acting (believable acting and action)
• Sound & Music

And both 2 & 3 were terrible.

I attribute the low level of this movie to a simple lack of budget.

A 5 well deserved.

Plane (2023)

Good acting, lots of tension and a good story. What else do you need?

This is a movie that any streaming service would have ended converting it into a mini series... However, it would have gotten dense in many moments... Instead, you get this story in a 1.8 hours narration (don't need more than that to tell a good story). This is a movie where they could have ended up with lazy acting, non-believable scenes (but in action and tension) and very rusty effects. Instead, Richet made sure each actor gave his/her best! Action scenes didn't try to be too pretentious and the narrative stayed focus on telling a good story and getting you involved in it. I give it an 8 since for a story like this one I they did it in the best possible way.
