Convict (2014)
I can't believe it has such a low rating...
Yes, it's clichéd. Yes, it's predictable. Yes, it has touches of Mean machine (the longest yard).
This is a highly watchable, with moments of cringe, prison movie. It doesn't paper over the cracks, it just shows a fictional, what might be possible if you go to prison scenario. If this movie deters even just one kid away from crime, then it's been worthwhile.
Yes, it's quite brutally grim in parts, but the that only adds to its message.
Enjoy.
The Irishman (2019)
Way past their sell by date...
Having endured sitting through the three hours plus that this movie emits, I'm sorely disappointed with what, potentially could of been a masterpiece. Instead, I felt it was a plodding, miscast standard gangster movie.
The scene where De Niro attacks the grocery store owner near the beginning of the movie was embarrassing to watch.
The only redeeming feature of this movie really was Pacino's typical, Pacino playing Pacino roll. I think the actors should stick to less energetic rolls and leave these kind of movies to the next generation.
