Final Account Movie Review

May 20, 2021 (updated May 20, 2021) Published by JMcNaughton

Opens in theaters May 21 (German language with English sub-titles)

“Final Account” is a painfully somber experience. The documentary goes back into the German past and digs up many ghosts of the Nazi era. This is in the form of normal elderly adults who, from childhood, grew up in the Third Reich. They were persuaded into thinking that the Fatherland would be the shining beacon for the world. They lived through the rise and fall of Hitler, only to now nominally reject the beliefs they once held dear.

These young girls and woman whom they befriend can become brides to the terrorists. Based on a true story, this is chilling tale of international intrigue and lies, all displayed on various on-line screens and devices.

May 6, 2021 (updated May 6, 2021) Published by JMcNaughton

Opens in theaters starting May 7th

“Wrath of Man” is full-throated action revenge movie with a massive body count and an unlimited supply of ammo. It is a real gut-punch of mayhem and murder, fueled by cash in armored trucks and people willing to kill to get at it. But when an innocent bystander gets caught in the crossfire, a devious plot comes together to turn the crooks into Swiss cheese.

Without Remorse Movie Review

April 29, 2021 (updated April 29, 2021) Published by JMcNaughton

Available to stream on Amazon Prime (April 30th)

“Without Remorse” is an action-filled movie in the tradition of other Tom Clancy based movies. There is lot of political gameplay going on between nations, but the real work is done by the grunts and the Special Forces teams on the ground. The polite diplomatic discussions are moved aside for high-velocity gunfire and hand-to-hand fighting. The only way to get the job done is to finish off the other guy.

Voyagers Movie Review

April 8, 2021 (updated April 8, 2021) Published by JMcNaughton

“Voyagers” is a movie with science-fiction setting, but at the heart it is about pure deviant psychology. Think about “Lord of the Flies” set on a spaceship, and you get the idea. When a future Earth is facing ruin, the smart people send out a space ship to planet light-years away. The people sent to colonize a new world are raised as obedient sheep. But they won’t stay that way.

The Courier Movie Review

March 18, 2021 (updated March 17, 2021) Published by JMcNaughton

“The Courier” makes for a fascinating story about an ordinary British businessman who became a crucial part of the MI-6 intelligence information gathering system in the early 1960s. Based on true events, this man went into the Soviet Union at a time of increasing international tensions. He was able to befriend a top Soviet source, who was codenamed “Ironbark”. A man with no connection to spies, and no training in undercover operations, was able to get and deliver much needed Soviet secrets back to the British government. Read more The Courier Movie Review

Chaos Walking Movie Review

March 5, 2021 (updated March 5, 2021) Published by JMcNaughton

“Chaos Walking” is a movie adaptation of a trilogy of young-adult novels. It has the story lines of all three books crammed into a single movie. It seems to have a generally unique idea, a world of only Men, and everyone’s inner thoughts are visible and can be heard in “The Noise”. However the execution of this movie leaves more questions than it does any answers. So it becomes ‘Chaos Watching’…
