Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

2nd movie in the Jack Reacher book series starring Tom Cruise. Reacher is drawn back to his MP days in the military when a Major is jailed to hide a conspiracy at the highest levels. Of all the Reacher books this is one of the weakest. Usual mayhem follows Jack around but Tom Cruise as the 6"4" 240 Reacher is a joke. @ bananas

The Accountant

While growing up  ben's father seeing he will need to protect himself,  subjects he and his brother to all sorts of physical combat. As an accountant Ben has the rare gift of getting to the bottom of a problem very quickly; thus setting the stage for this movie as Ben is called into a high tech company to examine the books.

The Girl on the Train

Emily Blunt is a divorced, depressed, suffering from blackouts alcoholic who rides a commuter train to  work every morning and views from her seat  her ex as well as others who become entangled in a very confusing murder. While the end is not surprising, getting to it is only because the other two women involved look so much alike. Dark and Dreary sets the tone. 2 1/2 bananas

Deepwater Horizon

Incredible recreation of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. May not win best picture of the year but sure is the most INTENSE movie of the year. I found myself holding my breath on numerous occasions. Special effects along with what a deep water drilling rig looks like up close, makes this movie a sure fire see it. Mark Wahlberg stars as a chief electrical engineer. 3 1/2 bananas

The Mechanic: Resurection

If you like Jason Statham, and who doesn't, and want to see an action packed with no holes barred take down movie, see The Mechanic. Statham is retired and living in the South Pacific when an old 'friend'  blackmails him into killing three notorious criminals, as usual no buddy messes with our hero. An entertaining movie for a lousy day.  3 bananas

Jason Bourne

Jason, Matt Damon, after living off the grid for some years  has finally recovered his memory and realizes that his father was killed by the people he once worked for as a killing machine. With a little help from inside sources people will pay for their mistakes. This movie takes non verbal to a new level. Many car and motorcycle chases but over all not up to previous very good  Bourne movies.  2 bananas

Neighbors 2

Where the original was funny this is just plain stupid. Now a sorority has moved in next door and the party begins; creating problems for Seth Rogan who is trying to sell his house next door. Exact same plot as #1 but not funny. Miss it!!! 1 banana

The Nice Guys

Russel Crowe and Ryan Gossling team up in this action comedy looking for a young woman who has made a porno film which more than one person is interested in attaining. Some funny scenes but also some pretty bad acting. 2 bananas

Money Monster

George Clooney and Julia Roberts star in this wall street drama. Clooney and Roberts run a daily TV show called Money Monster and are preparing to go on air when a person hijacks the show and puts a bomb vest on Clooney in order to air his grievances concerning money that he felt had been illegally stolen from him by Wall St. Good cast, sort of a weak plot but entertaining. 2 1/2 bananas

Criminal

Kevin Costner stars as a criminal with no redeeming qualities who is taken from prison and used to transplant memories from a  CIA agent who had hidden some top secret information before he was killed in hopes of recovering it before the other side did. Interesting plot but only see on a rainy day.  2 bananas
