Land of Bad (2024)

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/land-of-bad-review-an-engaging-yet-flawed/ "Land of Bad offers an engaging yet flawed rescue operation that should please most viewers seeking adrenaline-driven entertainment. With excellent performances across the board, William Eubank employs fast pacing, high-intensity shootout sequences with a few interesting stylistic choices, and basic yet riveting storytelling.

I appreciate a lazy man. Sitting around angry in a car. Sitting around angry in a drone chair. Crowe is really doing it well. Cool explosions. Lots of guns. You can figure out if you like this movie by the box art. Didn't really believe the main plot shift or the disposition of the lead. Would have scored 2 higher if it was 30 minutes shorter. Basketball/pregnancy side plot would have been an easy way to cut all that. Get out the chair skinny boy. Fatties know how to drone.

Russel Crowe did a pretty good job. There were a bunch of explosions n stuff. It was alright I guess.

The beginning of this morning was a bit slow. But it did get better throughout the movie. The story line was decent. Definitely a decent movie. It kept you alert not knowing what was going to happen out on the field. Had some humor in it from Russell Crowe to guide the Hemsworth brothers through rough territory. Great story. Happy ending.
