The Highwaymen (Netflix 2019, Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson)
OK, above average. Nothing amazing but engaging. Maybe a bit slow but I never felt like giving-up even though I (and everybody else) will know how it ends).

Hunt and demise of Bonnie & Clyde by two (ex) Texas Rangers.

Deep Cover on Prime. It is not big, and it is not clever.
I did find it funny and silly though. Good for what it is.

Warfare - 9/10

One of the best war films I've seen in some time. I'd wanted to see it at the cinema which I think would be pretty incredible given the sound design. It's tense, claustrophobic and absolutely relentless so not a minute of the 90 feels wasted.

A very effective and thought provoking bit of film making.

Totally agree, awesome film. True to life in a way that most war films aren't, like you're there, really scary, tense stuff.

Last Breath 8.5/10 , watched the other night based on a true story about saturation divers in the North Sea. Didn't really fancy it, but it was nothing like I was expecting. It was like you were there, great underwater effects. The technology used in saturation diving blew my mind a bit, something I knew very little about.

Watched first half of Gladiator 2, seems OK but the phrase artistic licence never been more apt. Will endeavour to watch 2nd half this evening.

How To Train Your Dragon.
A quite enjoyable fantasy romp. A well made with super impressive soaring cgi flying dragon sequences and a dramatic big dragon boss battle. Nick Frost was fab and funny in his role and Gerard Butler was as usual, Gerard Butler.
Thoroughly enjoyable and think I enjoyed it more then my lad. Though I had never seen the original, he had.

I've watched the original with my children. I understand this is a scene by scene remake of the original, but with real life actors, which I struggle to see the point of.

28 Weeks Later - 8/10

Pleasingly a local cinema has shown Days and Weeks ahead of Years' release this week: it's been a while since I'd seen Weeks on the big screen (or at all) and I'd forgotten how relentless it is after the fairly genteel pace of Days. The camera work is a lot more chaotic, which makes sense in the context of the film but gets quite jarring, so I'm hoping with Danny Boyle back at the helm things will be a bit more considered.

Robert Carlyle is as excellent as you'd expect him to be, and the children are a lot less irritating than the girl in Days who I still think is distractingly terrible. I'd actually forgotten that Idris Elba is in it as a soldier who makes Christopher Ecclestone's character look positively lovely.
