Snake Eyes
(1998)

Money can't buy everything
Personally I'm not a fan of Nicolas Cage. Maybe because his last movies was disappointing, but his older movies are not so bad. Whole movie was decent to watch. It had a good story and enough mystery in it to keep watching it. Cage has done a great job and Gary Sinise (you may know him better from CSI NY) maybe even better. Story keep you going, you get the nice plot twist, and a puzzle at the end. I'm not satisfied with the suicide at the end. I don't see the point why would he do that. From my perspective he had so many more other options to do. Ovearall movie was decent to watch, it could be better in some aspects but watchable.

Dead Man Down
(2013)

Good but not great
Blackmailing that develop into relationship because they found out that they have something in common. Revenge. Although it is not revenge from the same person or because of the same thing. But the motive that someone must pay for what they did to them. But it is one imagining to take someone life, when it comes to action it is not the same. If you want the revenge you have to be merciless and focused. Then no one can stop you. Most dangerous man is man who has nothing to lose. From there is the name Dead man down. How can you hurt someone if you can't take anything more from him. Story could have been better executed. It is slow and unclear at beginning, but everything came clear as movie goes. Watchable movie.

Peter Pan
(2003)

Well made story
This movie is unexpectedly good. Best movie adaptation of this story so far. Every aspect of the story has been made into a movie and I like that. Actors played their roles very good. They manage to show all emotions and personalities of every character. Petar Pan the boy who doesn't want to grow up, because he doesn't want obligations. Captain Hook, old man who's sad for losing his youth and angry on other peoples success. Wendy, girl who just wants to be girl a little longer, and not act like a grown woman towards what her parents are pushing her. Thinkerbell, best description in today society would be friend zoned. She is always with Peter Pan but only as a friend she will never be more. Which sometimes lead to frustrations and bad decisions. In movie is show clear sexual tension between Wendy and Peter, child just in age so they can feel something is attracting you to someone. But can't quite understand it. Petar bring Wendy so she could be mom for his lost boys. And he will be father. Here in that role playing is clearly visible that tension. Movie is very well made and unfairly underrated. It deserves 8.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
(2005)

Why so negative
I really don't know why are people so negative about this movie. You can't rate move with 1 just because it is predictable. Of course it is! It's Brad and Angelina, what else could you get. You got movie filled with action and with a little comedy and romantic. But just in good ration. Movie have constant action, but it takes brake with a little comedy. You may ask how can husband and wife who are both best hitmans in the world live under same roof and not knowing other person real job. But it is a MOVIE. And just that not knowing plays big part in the movie. Movie is so underrated because of some mad kids rating. It deserves at least 8. It's not some extraordinary movie, but it is sure worth seeing.

Elysium
(2013)

Watchable
Classic rich people get everything and can live forever. Poor are doomed to death and living in slums (guess what same situation is in presence :). Story takes part in near future. It wasn't so good, but it was as expected, poor invade the rich part of the world. But it has lot of action, so you don't get bored at all. Nice effects, nice fight scenes. Some unreal healing power of machines, but all in all good movie. It was fairly rated with 7, I'll give the same. There were some parts that could be covered and explained more. Like putting exoskeleton on human like it is normal thing done every day. And story should be more dynamic, but it is OK movie. If you wanna action movie without much thinking you should watch it.

London Boulevard
(2010)

Good movie
Actually good film. It's about gangster who doesn't want to be that any more. It shows that you can't just walk away from people/business, if you want it. You have to be bad when messing with bad guys. If you want to leave it you have to remove the bad guys first. Cause if you have something to lose, you will eventually lost it. Don't have mercy. Do what you must. Know who to trust. The more you wait, the more damage can be done to you. Movie is not full of action but has good story with enough action to keep it going. If you love action or movies with gangsters you will love it. Clearly underrated movie, it deserves 8, no less.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
(2009)

Nano Tech Rule the World
This movie has classic good guys vs bad guys plot. Story happens in the future. We see nanotechnology and fancy Sci-Fi equipment. Story between characters in crucial because good guys know bad guys. They were friends some time before, but not anymore. Movie is good, full of action. It has a story that has with nice continuity and ending that gives up that there will be new movie, but nothing more. Good movie to watch, recommended for anyone who likes action movies. It is definitely underrated, it deserves at least 7. I'm looking forward to see what will new movie bring. They left space for a lot of thing to happen with the ending.

The ABCs of Death
(2012)

W is for Waste of time
Idea for the movie was really great, but they missed the whole point of movie. Realization of that idea was in best case awful. 26 different directors must made a skit (ABOUT DYING), everyone for a different letter of alphabet. And everyone of them did it badly. Movie isn't horror, parody, comedy, it is nothing. This is currently my biggest waste of time watching this. I can't describe emotions while watching this movie. It isn't fun or thrilling or even boring. You just watch the movie and think why am I wasting my time on this. I don't know what more to say about this movie. Movie has no point so there is no point watching it.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
(2006)

Tokyo Drift
The title says it all. New Fast and Furious is placed in the Japan more specific in Tokyo. But that is not all that is new. There is nothing same from the previous movies. All characters are new. Car tuning stays the same like before, I love they left that part. But racing is changed to drift. I like it, it bring something new, more exciting that sprint 1/4 mile race. Plot is better the last movie. This time it is not about bad guys and good guys, this time it is about rivalry between main character and main yakuza nephew (they are fighting for girl, what a surprise). He as a new guy came to Tokyo, never drifted before, lost a race. Han (man who saw potential in him, teaches him how to drift). Main char and yakuza made a mess in the city. And they will decide with the race who lives the town and who stays and get a girl. It is good movie definitely better the last one. So underrated, it deserves 8. Anyone who enjoy fast driving will love it. Finishing scene is awesome it take so much part later on :D

2 Fast 2 Furious
(2003)

2 Fast but not so Furious
Before I start about anything. I was little disappointed with this movie. So second movie of The Fast and the Furious franchise didn't full my expectations. Brian is the only one of the main characters who stays in this film from the last film crew. The plot get little bit more action then the last movie so they filled up that part. They put the bad guy, so it gets some action. You still got some badass cars, but it is not about tuning this time. Races from 1/4 of a mile sprint now evolve into circuit races and highway chasing and running from police. The film is mainly about undercover mission to catch that bad guys similar to the last movie, but I miss that there is no one else from the old crew. Still this movie deserve 7, and current rate is underrated. Watch this movie, it won't have much roll into plot in later movie, don't have high expectations and you will like it. It is still worth seeing.

The Fast and the Furious
(2001)

Fast & Furious Beginning
This is first movie of the Fast & Furious franchise it has a solid plot and a nice finish scene which leave place for next movie. It's a great movie for all, especially for car lovers. Movie is full of tuned cars, hot girls and races. Old school street racing (1/4 of a mile, NOS in cars). Cars like Toyota Supra, Honda Civic and American classic Charger. It is nice treat for all car lovers. When you hear that engine sound and that NOS boost you just wanna get there and race. Racing and chasing is pretty much realistic. But movie is not all about racing it gives connection between main characters that will last trough other movies. It is very underrated movie. I rated it 8 cause of his lack of action. It has nice plot so you won't get bored at all but there is something missing. All in all I recommend this movie for everyone who is interested in cars you will enjoy it.
