Wrath of Man - 3/5

This movie is a solid revenge movie, with some caveats. Almost all of it is standard heist, crime, revenge movie fare, but one scene shows the aftermath of the raid of a child rape dungeon. Nothing sensitive is shown, but the implications of the furnishings combined with some extremely disturbing offscreen audio makes this movie a no-go for many who otherwise would enjoy the film. The rest of the movie is great, the kind of movie that would have cast Mel Gibson if it had been made in the ‘90s.

Content warning: child rape

Closest comparison: It’s like Heat by way of Ransom.

Setting: Heist
Plot: Revenge
Tone: Crime

Pacific Rim: Uprising - 3/5

It's the big, dumb, kinda fun little brother of the first one. The talky bits are too long, the characters are shallow, the acting is passable, the writing is poor. But you get to see giant robots punch giant monsters (and sometimes other robots). Honestly this movie barely clears the 3/5 threshold for me. If you go in with low expectations you can have a lot of fun. But it's not a good movie.
