Trigger Warning (2024)
Not as bad as initial ratings
"Trigger Warning" delivers a solid action-packed experience, hitting all the expected notes of the genre. Starring Jessica Alba, the film follows her character, Parker, a retired special forces operative, who gets drawn back into a world of danger and deception. The plot isn't groundbreaking, but it's engaging enough to keep you hooked. The action sequences are well-choreographed, providing the adrenaline rush you'd expect. Alba's performance is convincing, carrying the film despite some predictable moments. While it might not reinvent the wheel, "Trigger Warning" is a satisfying watch for action enthusiasts, earning a commendable 6.5/10.
The Veil (2024)
Juice not worth the squeeze
I write this because it would have helped me. It's a well done mini series and at the 3rd episode I might have thought it was an 8, but it's one of those series that is all based on the ending and how everything comes together. I just didn't find the ending very satisfying, not worth going through the 5 episodes to get there. My rating is "fine", but I would have skipped it if I had it to do over again.
Compared to some other reviews, I liked Moss's accent.
I liked the initial premise.
I thought some of the later story lines fell apart.
I wasn't convinced of why she'd believe so much in this woman to risk it all.
Little Dixie (2023)
I liked it
One of the bigger discrepancies from avg rating to mine (4.9 vs 8). I wanted simple straightforward action, it said it was simple straightforward action, it gave me simple straightforward action. I am satisfied.
Not a crazy plot, but a badass you can cheer for. It lives up to the trailer. I am surprised the people who gave it such a low rating watched it, it's not like it pretended to be one thing and showed you another.
Sometimes I like simple bad ass getting the bad guys. It didn't have a lot of lulls. It's right in line with what you think a Frank Grillo movie would be, a bad ass kicking ass.
Enjoy, have fun.
