Sicario

Intense drama of the fight to stop the flow of drugs from Mexico. A U.S. drug task force is put together with no boundries or laws attached to it to seek out and kill the king pins of the Mexican drug operations. Emily Blunt is assigned to the force from the FBI but she wants to do everything legally which immediately puts her at odds with all the rest. Right on the money for telling it like it is. Sicario means hitman in Spanish , so take it from there. Wish the movie had been 3 hours as the 2 hours  flew by. 3 1/2 bananas

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

The continuing sage(3 so far) of a group of young people who have been held prisoners and then have escaped into a world that has been totally destroyed.

Black Mass

Johnny Depp portrays the rise and fall of Boston mobster James Whitey Bulger in this very dark drama of murder, corruption and mayhem.. Bulger is able to avoid the arm of the law by getting into bed with the local FBI who believe he is a valuable informant only to find many years later that they have been played. The cruel and heartless Bulger is played to perfection by Depp. 3 1/2 bananas

Walk in the Woods

Nick Nolte is hilarious in this comedy also starring Robert Redford as the two join forces after 40 years of being apart to walk the Appalachian Trail. Along the way they rehash memories of times spent growing up in Iowa as well the true reason Nolte shows unexpectedly up to join Redford . Emma Thompson never looked better as Redfords wife in a supporting role. Delightful from beginning to the end. 3 1/2 bananas

Meryl Streep plays a bankrupt rock and roll singer who is called back to her grown family and remarried husband to help her daughter get over being dumped by the future husband. Once arriving Streep is confronted with all sorts of family secrets, none of which is was aware as she had left years before.

Hitman: Agent 47

In an experimental government program humans(agents) were programed with special powers to become killing machines. The program was shut down but not before a few of the agents escaped. Now a very powerful syndicate wants to find the head of the defunct program and startup again. This non-stop action movie is not going to win any awards but it sure is a fun 2 hours as Agent 47 does battle with just about everyone. For entertainment I'm giving this movie,  3 bananas

The Gift

A couple move from Chicago to LA to start a new life only to find  a person from the couples dark past show up at their door carrying a secret that  makes this psycho drama a very good movie to see.
