I got similar kicks out of this that I got from Ash vs Evil Dead. Christopher Meloni is just brilliant and funny in this.

Great performances from all of the 3 leads and also from Oliver Platt who had a smaller role but was really funny. The first half was stronger but the performances carry the film to the end nicely.

Enjoyable event action movie. Josh Brolin was great as Thanos. The biggest problem I had was the humor that hit like 3-4 out of 10 times.

This was really interesting documentary. The art that they pulled out of the sea were just fantastic and how the sea had affected them made it even more interesting watch.

You can guess how everything is going to play out in this film from the beginning but there was some good tension building and the acting was pretty good, even though it is mostly screaming and flailing underwater, but there were some quieter moments too before the CGI sharks started attacking again.

Travolta's painted on jet black hair and beard were really distracting. And that accent was also pretty bad. As was the CGI in the flashback with De Niro's face in a different body that wasn't matching at all to his face. Also it was just really funny to see these two old men going through all of this: torture, building collapsing on them and car crash and arrows through legs and cheeks. Well, I got some chuckles out of this film. But this could have been good with some improvements like an actual serbian actor in Travolta's place. I remember reading that this was originally going to be a John McTiernan film set in the 70's with Travolta and Nic Cage in the leads.
