On the other hand, there are plenty of films which deliver exactly what they promise.
Snakes on a Plane
Hot tub time machine
Four weddings and a funeral
Gangs of New York
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (I watched the whole thing, and didn’t see a single tiger or dragon. They obviously hid well)
Right now watching Safe – literally every character is in varying degrees of peril all the damn time – excluding those who are already dead. They did not die of natural causes either. they were murdered!
I arrived at the cinema expecting a challenging piece reflecting the story of a meteorological pundit, imagine my surprise and disappointment to find it was a road movie with an autistic gentlemen and that bloke from top gun, deeply disturbing.
There was me thinking it was an informative “Back to Work” film for Italians (oh the irony, everyone knows the Italians are shite at that gainful thing called a job)
No!
ONLY BLOODY MICHAEL FLIPPIN’ CAINE KNICKING STUFF!
