The Last Movie You Watched

[The Valkyrie]

Hangman (2017) Al Pacino, Karl Urban

Nothing to recommend it. Even good actors can’t save this boring, mindless, poorly plotted, childishly written piece of junk. Just awful from start to finish.

Karl Urban!

Yeah, he’s very pretty. I get it. But it’s all the moving and talking he did in this film that was the problem.

He's usually such a good actor. He was the only thing worth watching in Jar Jar Abram's "Trek".

He's usually such a good actor.  He was the only thing worth watching in Jar Jar Abram's "Trek".

I agree, he’s a terrific actor. But he had nothing to work with in this pile of shit (even Pacino went through the entire film like he wanted nothing more than to lie down and take a nap).

Reminds me of an interview in which Paul Giamatti was asked why he appeared in the Ben Affleck trainwreck ‘Paycheck’ and he answered, ‘Because of the aptly named “paycheck” ‘.

Yeah.

There hasn't been a good Affleck movie since Dogma.

Did Pacino at least have a scene that could be read as a meta-critique of the film itself? I ask because I’ve seen him in two Deep Hurting Project films and in both of them, he does that.

In Gigli, where he’s excoriating his protege Ben Affleck and explaining, in no uncertain terms, why the whole plan the movie hinges on, the plan to extort a federal prosecutor by kidnapping his mentally disabled son was absurdly stupid (and, frankly, it took a lot of willpower to not just use the R-word, if only because it’s so fitting In this circumstance.) The detail about not fucking around could also apply to the dozens of plot threads that come in just to be dropped in less than a minute (at least a few of which actually went somewhere in an earlier cut) or how the romance becomes the center of the movie and not the kidnapping.





And then, in Jack and Jill, he gave this scathing assessment of the entire film.

There’ve been a couple, actually. They probably just got buried under the crap, except for movies like Argo and Gone Girl. Movies like Changing Lanes, Hollywoodland, State of Play, and The Town.

Correction: none that I've seen.

Whoever chose him for Batman needs shooting.

@Rev. Rye

This one. Cliche after cliche, all badly written, sloppily directed and poorly acted.

Ma. I'll never get back that 90 minutes of wasted time. *cry face*
I'm so surprised because Octavia Spencer is such a great actress, and she was superb in this, but it's a film that felt like it didn't know what it wanted to be. Slasher film? Horror genre? It ended up just being a blah movie that completely lacked suspense, and felt sophomoric in nature.

I've warned you to spare you the agony.

Bill and Ted Face the Music

It was heartwarming, certainly not the best take on time travel but super charming. I see a potential spin off with their children doing similar stupid shit as they did in the first movies.
