Attack, 2022 – ★★½

It takes a watered-down back story of Robocop to build a Captain America-like super-soldier to combat an Olympus Has Fallen level threat. That’s the plot level derivations, it continues at a macro level too. All…

Nothing But the Truth, 2008 – ★★★

So relevant so many years on. Simple yet effective tale of the government bullying the integrity of honest people in the name of national security. source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/nothing-but-the-truth/

Blink, 2022 – ★★★½

This director definitely has the chops to do horror. Only time and opportunity will tell if he lands the serious artiste route or goes my preferrable campy entertainment way. All the best to him either…

Fistful of Vengeance, 2022 – ★½

Utter trash that I’m sure I would have enjoyed at the age of 10, but would not have been allowed to watch due to the violence quotient. Trimurti meets Infinity War source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/fistful-of-vengeance/
