Synopsis: Jack Dwyer moves to Southeast Asia with his family and gets caught between a political uprising and riots aimed at foreign companies. However, he decides to face the situation for his family's safety.
This was a fantastic experience. The sound design and effects in particular are what I'd choose to highlight first, you really feel every blow, explosion and gunshot. It's certainly one of the more engaging and tense thrillers I have seen in a while. It has a great setting and build-up right from the start. The pacing was really perfect. Owen Wilson is an actor I often forget just how good he is, probably because I don't really associate him with too many serious roles. It is a terrifying situation to imagine yourself in and I really found myself putting myself in the shoes of the characters, it really does a good job making you connected with them in such a short amount of time.
Synopsis: In order to pay for a course, James takes up a job at an amusement Park. He meets Emily, a co-worker, and falls in love with her. But due to some circumstances and misunderstandings, they face issues.
Nice film with great 80's vibes and music. it makes you feel-good and tugs at the heart strings. It's a very well told coming-of-age story. If you enjoy films that feel like a throwback and make you nostalgic, then I think you'll really appreciate a lot of where this goes. This is one of those roles where Jesse Eisenberg really shines as an actor for me, he's perfectly casted here. HIs personality and mannersims just go so well with the character he's playing. Kristen Stewart also puts in a very good performance as well, one of her best by far and a character I really like. She shows a lot of personality in this.
