The Review: War Machine

War Machine 8/10

This is another movie me and my lady checked out for whatever reason. It turned out to be pretty damned good. This about a guy know only as 81. He and his brother are soldiers. His brother says they should try to be rangers and 81 reluctantly agrees. Moments later explosions rock the convoy and his brother is hit while 81 suffers a wound to his leg. He carries his brother back to a base about ten miles away and collapses looking into his dead brothers eyes. In present day he is trying out with a bunch of others to be a ranger. They say he has failed a few times but here he is still trying.

The Review: Mercy

Mercy 7/10

Last week L and I watched this movie not thinking much of it. I had seen the trailer and it was a hard pass for me. So we started watching and this cop named Chris Raven wakes up looking all kinds of drunk and attached to a chair. This AI computer court system and judge named Judge Maddox lets him know that he is charged with his wife's murder and has ninety minutes to prove his innocence before he is killed. He has to use phone calls, chat, emails, video, and people he knows to do this. He gets pissed naturally and says he is innocent. They have doorbell video of him angrily bursting into his house and his wife screaming. He leaves and she is found stabbed to death. The rest of the movie is very fast paced movie showing him calling his AA sponsor, his daughter, and cops to help him prove his innocence. This felt like a cool 90's movie. It proved once again that when I watch a who done it I will just be blaming everyone but the right person. I was kinda close in this one though.
