Took myself to a movie yesterday.
First choice was Kingsman, but Swede wants to see this, so must wait.
The only other film of any interest to me is American Assassin.
It was as expected, so I will not rehash what the Army, DOD and DOS tried to do with me.
I was easy to spot in this film - I was the one laughing heartily! They did a good job for a film whose audience is aimed at 14 year olds and men whom have suffered brain damage or other mental stunting!
On the good side:
Injuries go forward across sequences - no "magic" healings between shots.
Really bad science which will kill you if you mistake this story line for reality!
No nudity!
Alfa Romeo's!
On the bad side:
Don't get too attached to the females, they do not fair well!
Really bad science a trip to the library could have saved the story from!
Biggest flaw is the inability of the writer/director/actors to model the differences between being murderous, a sociopath and/or psychopath! Yes, it does matter because different behaviors underlie each!
Yeah, I will probably buy this one just for the memories it brought back to this clouded mind ....
