We watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare last night. Story of the first special operations team, created to cripple the German u-boat fleet.
Loved it.
Your judgment is validated. That was a hella fun movie.
If you like watching Nazis shot, stabbed, blown up, mocked, ridiculed, and strangled, then this will fill up two hours nicely.
Alan Ritchson reprises his role of Jack Reacher as Jack Reacher circa 1942, killing with the same calm joy that defines his role in the tv show. I don't know what it is about Alan Ritchson that sets him apart from any of the countless dozens of other action stars I grew up with, but I really like watching him murder. He does it with a kind of zen that seems to elude every other action star I've known.

netflix
wife and i saw this when it was first released just before covid
it was a bit uplifting
the acting was good
the storyline was different
but the budget must have been minimal
you will not be wowed by the special effects
imdb says 7.6 ... i'll go with that
Lol, sorry, wrong thread. Ooops.Survivor type show
Civil War. Mixed reviews, but that's only because it's politically polarizing. This was a fantastic movie and we were on the edges of our seats the whole time. Definitely recommend.
Not a date movie.
Godzilla Minus One:
Excellent movie, and I'm not into Japanese big-monster movies at all. Typically, disaster/big-monster/alien-invasion movies are made to appeal to audiences who go to the theater to watch shit get wrecked, and have little to nothing of any other substance propping them up. If you've seen 2012 or the laughably awful Godzilla movie starring Matthew Broderick, then you've seen every disaster movie there is: the writer violently cram a human interest component into the story in order to try to get you to care about the people in it. This plays out the same in every movie: the hero is a down-and-out father who's estranged from his ex-wife, who's seeing a new guy who's okay but is clearly the competition for the protagonist. By the end of the movie he gets back together with the family and everything's okay. This cliche is always insincerely handled and the viewer's primary interest, if he's seeing it at home, is to find the fast forward button in order to get to the "shit gets wrecked" parts.
Godzilla Minus One is completely different. The story is a sincerely and sensitively handled sociological look at Japanese society post World War 2. The writer clearly has something to say, and he says it well. As a result, the human interest component accomplishes something unlikely in a disaster movie: the sociological exploration is just as interesting as the monster itself. It's a fascinating look into Japanese culture because it deals with something most of only know about tangentially from history class. (If I'm being vague it's because I believe that people who post spoilers should be shot on sight. No trial, no judge, no jury).
Plus, shit gets wrecked and it's pretty awesome.
The Fall Guy:
This should be considered first and last a date movie. It's fun and often funny, but it's a date movie just the same. Save this movie for a date. It's feel-good and will leave the both of you in a good mood. I really don't have anything else to say about it.
