We sat down to watch a movie last night. We've been binging on TV shows like Harrow and Sherlock and felt it was time for something a little more substantial. I had downloaded The Greatest Showman and we had heard some of the music somewhere so that was the first choice. But, it turned out to be in Russian! I don't how that happened but it was very disconcerting, so we looked for something else.
The Seagull was based on a play by Anton Chekhov (no, thanks!), we had already seen the Snowman so opened the latest Liam Neeson revenge movie, Cold Pursuit. His Taken series had all been good and we had no doubt this would be in the same vein. When you find a winning formula, why change it?
It was, in fact, great fun. Dozens of people died but it was almost cartoonish in how it was presented. It reminded me of the Roadrunner cartoons in many ways. Not a movie for everyone and you can't take it too seriously but certainly worth a watch. As a bonus, it is set around Denver, Colorado, the 'Mile High City' and the scenery was spectacular.
