Knight and Day

2010 / 109m - USA
Action, Comedy
3.0*/5.0*
Knight and Day poster

Fun and silly action film that doesn't take itself serious at all. Sadly Mangold's direction is a little iffy. If the action scenes could've had a bit more impact I'm sure this would've been a much better film. Cruise and Diaz have a lot of fun together, there are some mad ideas here, but the execution is just a little safe and expected.


Identity

2003 / 90m - USA
Mystery, Thriller
2.5*/5.0*

Pretty standard post-Scream horror/thriller flick. The plot twists are hardly noteworthy and the familiar but decidedly second line cast does little to elevate the film. It's quite amusing and there are a handful of promising moments, but overall the film didn't age that well and it had a tough time keeping me engaged throughout.


Ford v Ferrari

2019 / 152m - USA

1.5*/5.0*
Ford v Ferrari poster

For people hoping to see a film about the feud between Ford and Ferrari, know that Ford v Ferrari is 99% about Ford. In some countries it was rebranded as Le Mans '66, which is a much more appropriate title, though what you're really getting is simple, unfiltered and uncompromising USA propaganda.

Ford v Ferrari is the poster child of Hollywood cheese. One-dimensional characters, the little guy fighting the big corporations and US technology beating out the rest of the world. There's pointless drama, some artificial tension here and there and a few races that need to cover the action portion of the film.

Bale is the only one who tries to make something of his character, the rest of the cast is bland. So is the cinematography and the soundtrack, so unless you're a major race fan (or you really dig standard Hollywood drama), there's very little here. The film seems to be pretty popular though, so Mangold must be doing something right, only I couldn't find it at all.
