This from the man who has the cheek to talk up and over-grade Statham and Seagal tosh!
I thought VV was quite believable in his fights as he looked like a fat and tall colonel kurtz but very strong. I agree the faces caving in like broken pots was a bit of an odd effect but overall i liked it, the villains were utterly scum-sucking dogs and he at least tried for his mrs, Dexter's sister.
tg's idea of Vv as Reacher is actually brilliant. He was great in this but I had the same trouble I had with Zahler's Bone Tomohawk, direction wasn't great, and the extreme violence seemed like it was papering over cracks. Also the entire look of 99 was awful I thought, like they shot it through a filled colostomy bag. It was better than not.

Show me where I overrated Seagal...
I’d listen to the Wanderer on this one, as he seems to be having an especially lucid period at the moment.
That was before a beer-filled watch of the disaster film The Karius Back-Hander and embarking on having to do about 20 hours if effing overtime by Monday morning.

I just finished watching THE TERROR. Now there's snowbound grimness for ten eps. It was ace.
It's sunny here now and high twenties. i can't take it. it's too hot.

Glad to see TG is finally taking my advice Re: brevity.

Watched a British film the other night, on London/live channel, Vendetta. 2013.
Danny Dyer is a wooden actor this was supposed to be along the lines of Death Wish it fell well short.
Parker/Dyer, is a military soldier, who's out for revenge after his parents were burnt alive, he tracks down the 5 militants while being covered by the M.O.D. none of it looks believable.
The murder of each gang member was awfully shot, you saw no real action, cinematography, only the aftermath being tied up then killing them, which i found crude, weird.
The script & camera work is poor, the cast I've never heard of they were all wooden the thing i hate most is when white guys trie to talk, bee black.
1/10. Never liked Dyer films this one was probably the worst of the lot, stick to dumb East-enders Danny.

Roxanne - 8.5/10
Probably fallen off a point since I last saw it over 20 years ago but still a film with as much heart as nose. Not sure why, perhaps my expectations were nostalgia-fuelled. Some brilliant set pieces from Martin - the newspaper stand, the demolition of the churl in the bar, the “alien abduction” scene are standouts - and genuine support from Daryl Hannah, Shelley Duvall, Michael J Pollard and Rick Rossovich. A bouncy happy Bruce Smeaton score is a real bonus. Actually, I think one or two things have become a bit obvious to the modern taste, such as the “sword fight” at the start and Chris’s inability to talk to beautiful women. Doesn’t detract much from it, though, and it’s still much funnier than most comedies produced since.

I adore this film, a 10 out of 10 for me. Or translated to my rating system 5-5.
