Aggressively forgettable and mediocre action suspense film starring Liam Neeson? You don’t say! Yeah, it’s another late stage Liam Neeson action flick which kinda basically gets the job done without really trying too hard. Some of these flicks are better … Continue reading
Hey, it was a 99 cent rental on iTunes so I finally gave in. I expected trash, I got trash. But I got fairly entertaining trash. There’s that kind of sleaze that knows its sleazy and this movie, I think, … Continue reading
