really low budget movie.
6 young adult who are animal / environmental activist wanted to destroy an ikea so they don't destroy the rain forest.
The 2 brothers who was stuck in night shift had to deal with these punks - older brother didn't do much but the younger brother was a hunter so he goes apeshit / equalizer on the kids (without the kungfu).
All in all, great premise, low budget, no name cast... 80% of the movie was all dark cause it was after hours in an "ikea".

The locksmith.
Also a very low budget movie with all HK cast which was good.
Honestly, it's all filmed in Malaysia; they tried to make it a thriller / mystery and it didn't do so bad. Just not the most compelling story despite a few hidden agendas and the locksmith having a dark past.

It was so shit, he didn't give it a rating.
Re: The Locksmith - Interesting cast! Surprised it is considered "low budget" given the star power behind the film.

Megalopolis (2024) was a great example of a decent cast and director and tanked so bad.
Novocaine is next on my list and I'm eager to see how good this turns out.

It's very entertaining, and really shows how hard it is to get a good movie made, and how easy it is for a potentially good movie to be turned to shit.

Novacaine
Banker fell in love with staff - bank got robbed and chases after the girl who was held hostage - BTW, he has a medical condition making him unable to feel pain.
SUCH A GOOD movie - great script, fast paced, Dan Berk and Robert Olsen are directors who are nobody, but did a dang amazing job in keeping it all together.
I did not know Jack Quaid is son of Dennis Quaid. Honestly, did not care who he was. Entire cast was a nobody and it was just fine and perfect!
Female lead who was Amber Midthunder - (she played the lead in Prey (Predator) and the chemistry was there with Jack- great job!
They didn't make Jack John Wick which I appreciated. There are some moments who you just know the 'history' of the guy coming back was once a black ops etc. Eg// Nobody - (better call saul) etc. SO many of these movie but this one, the lead plays literally a no body so that was good.
Everything in the movie worked together - the characters introduced (who you think are random strangers), the protagonist who loves to read medical books, how he loves tats etc.... nothing was wasted that was introduced. *clap clap clap
Enjoy the ride, enjoy the plot which has a good (a few cool moments) all the way to the end; heck, even the fight scenes were good and the guy is not even supposed to know anything about kungfu.

Black Bag - (you'll find out what black bag means in the movie)
The cast is strong, review is 95% so this can't go wrong. It did NOT disappoint. Too bad it's not making money at all yet.
From beginning to end, you're locked into your seat. 100% thriller with so many connecting players all tied to a story. Freaking 1st minute in, the plot is smacked in your face and THEN you decipher all the clues, facts, and character building.
If you're old enough, you'll know Steven Soderbergh (director) did Sex lies and videotape, Ocean's 11,12,13, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Contagion,Logan Lucky, even Magic Mike's Last Dance. Why i'm saying this, is because all the movies above has a very unique style and he does just that in this movie as well.
Things always come together and it's just layers of layers until you get to the meat / plot.
David Koepp - writer, did Tom Cruise's The Mummy, War of the Worlds, Panic Room, Spider-Man, Jurassic Park,Carlito's Way, Mission Impossible.
Why is this important, when you got some solid cast + great director and script writer, you get a great movie.
If that doesn't convince you, Cate Blanchett + Michael Fassbender (plays a unique yet emotional, stick up your ass yet observant guy)+ Marisa Abela + Naomie Harris (she was in skyfall / james bond / Moneypenny) & the old Pierce Brosnan.
Really enjoy the ride, stay in your seat, and just try to figure out what is going on.
Great suspense, thriller with solid plot from start to finish.

I watched Black Bag last night... man the opening scene gets DARK like right off the bat everyone is so loathsome I think in such a way that it kind of sets you up for failure about thinking any of these people deserves to come out of this alive... but overall I thought it's a great little movie. It's only 1.5hrs long. Well acted and executed. The one scene with special effects was a bit lame.
