aka Black Reacher

I mostly enjoyed this. Aaron Pierre and Don Johnson are great in it and whenever they're in a scene together the movie hits an extra gear.

It's overlong by like an easy 20 minutes and Saulnier works a little too hard to subvert genre expectations. This could have been a TNT Dad movie classic and everything I wanted and didn't get from McQuarrie's Jack Reacher. But it's not quite there and that's due largely to pacing issues. It's good and has great elements but to have an actor with he physicality and presence of Pierre playing a human weapon and not unleash him is somewhat frustrating. I mean, I love genre subversion as and undercutting of violence as a narrative solution as much as the next guy etc buuuuuut....spoiler in next post

Hard agree.

GT: SoulGatherer

The convenient stash of beanbag rounds and smoke bombs made me roll my eyes but it's fine. I doubt this movie would have been released if he was taking out cops left and right.

Hold The Dark has one of my favorite shoot out scenes

I thought Green Room was great and I remember liking Blue Ruin as well.
