Confession time: I am not a fan of Guy Ritchie’s style or storytelling, at least in his crime thrillers. So keep that in mine… I’m so not the target audience when I say that I was deeply bored, distracted, and … Continue reading
Without Remorse’s first problem is a title so generic it makes me miss The Hunt for Red October and The Sum of All Fears. But a title isn’t a movie. In this case though, a generic title for a kind … Continue reading
