Movie Review; Spenser Confidential

CAST

Mark Wahlberg (Spenser)

Winston Duke (Hawk)

Alan Arkin ( Henry Cimoli)

Bokeem Woodbine (Driscoli)

Marc Maron ( Kayne Cosgrove)

Iliza Shlesinger (Cissy Davis)

      Spenser confidential is a compelling watch. It follows the story of a good cop (Spenser) who goes out of his way to set things right. He is incarcerated and released, only to find out that half the cops have been bought over by a kingpin including his best friend.

      He teams up with a ex convict and roommate (Hawk) and together they try to amend the wrongs done to the unjustly accused good cops.

This is definitely not the first time I've seen Mark take up a comedic action role. His bad ass attitude and child like demeanour makes it all so interesting to watch.

    Winston Duke didn't disappoint either. Having seen him in Us and Black Panther, this was definitely another look and quite commendable. It's good to see he's not taking on a particular type of role.


    Post Malone, the badass prison mate lived up to expectations too. I love the blend of action and comedy. The hint of romance and the fight scenes too. I'll give it an 8/10 because the storyline was like every bad cop, good cop storyline.

The Gentlemen; Movie Review

CAST   Matthew McConaughey (Michael Pearson) Charlie Hunnam (Raymond Smith) Henry Golding (Dry Eye) Hugh Grant ( Fletcher) Michelle Dockery (Rosalind Fletcher) Jeremy Strong (Matthew Berger) Eddie Marson (Big Dave) Colin Farrell (Coach).       The words " drug" and " Mafia" have been known to be associated with blood, chain of commands and dirty deals. The world of drugs isn't one to be taken lightly as every action can be interpreted as either weakness or strength. The Gentlemen showed a slightly different approach to the drug world. It wasn't without deaths and orders but it hard a slightly comedic part to it. Spoilers ahead .      If you've seen the movie, then you can either agree or disagree with some of the wordings here. But if you haven't, I'll try to lessen the spoilers. If the movie had been 3hours long or even 4hours, I doubt if I would notice. Because I was glued to my screen till the very end. The blend and scenery was q...

Movie Review: Moonshot

Well, well, well, would you look at Mars. I've been craving a romance movie for a while now and when I saw the trailer for Moonshot, I was like, yes. Finally! Something to see.  Yeah, maybe not so much happiness after all. Movie Plot Following the evolution of earth in 2049 where Mars is now habitable and a plane ticket cost $950,000, two teenagers struggle to come to their reality. While one longs to go to Mars because he doesn't feel at home on earth, the other misses her boyfriend and decides to go and join him. With so many dreams on the line, the two of them explore their fantasies. Okay. Where do I start from? Seeing Lana Condor and Cole Sprouse gave me so much happiness. You just have to love those two because of their individual performance in so many other movies. Case in point: Riverdale and To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I didn't have any expectations aside from seeing both of them together.  The storyline was pretty normal. You know, those re...
