NEW TO RENT
NOT POSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING PART ONE↼
Where to watch: You can buy it on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu.
Hayley Atwell clings to Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, as they hold on to a bar in an upright train car in Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.
Type of book: spy action thriller
Run time: 2 hours and 43 minutes
Christopher McQuarrie is the director.
Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, and Ving Rhames are in it.
It’s back with Ethan Hunt in the first of two parts in the series; the second one won’t come out until 2024. This time, Hunt and the IMF are going up against a bad AI.
Based on our review,
This movie, like the ones that came before it, especially Christopher McQuarrie’s first two in the series, has a lot to do with Tom Cruise and his famous habit of doing his own stunts. A lot of the time, Ethan Hunt’s amazing deeds look real because they are. That commitment is what these movies are all about. The supporting characters are there to make Hunt feel like a real person, and the bad guy is there to test Hunt. The plot’s purpose is to move Ethan from one explosion to the next.
Use 4BLES to pay for things.
Where to watch: You can buy it on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu.
In Expend4bles, Iko Uwais holds spiked tonfa guns and walks away from an explosion.
Action movie type
Run time: 1 hour and 43 minutes
Scott Waugh is the director.
Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson are in the movie.
With Jason Statham taking over as director, the fourth movie in the brash series has the best action scenes yet. Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais add to the movie’s martial arts credentials.
Based on our review,
At its most basic, Expend4bles pushes the brand to its limits, which aren’t very far. These Expendables movies are kind of self-aware, which can help you overlook their weak plots and characters. After all, they’re just a way to see some action stars interact with each other. But after more than ten years of paying tribute, the series hasn’t come up with any new ways to use style.
Mission: Impossible movies are known for their signature stunts, and Fast and Furious movies are known for their crazy ways of using cars. The Expendables, on the other hand, doesn’t have a similar calling card. Fans can only look forward to Jason Statham’s tough guy charm and Sylvester Stallone’s cocky attitude. Also, people who want those things can get them in a lot of other places.
Where to watch: You can rent it on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu.
Type of book: supernatural horror
Run time: 1 hour and 39 minutes
Bishal Dutta is the director.
Megan Suri, Neeru Bajwa, and Mohana Krishnan are in the movie.
