The Rental (2020)

Two couples rent a vacation home, but hidden truths come out unexpectedly.

'The Rental' is an interesting thriller. With few characters, the intimate and constrained environment of the rented house, the film quickly moves from the ideal vacation atmosphere, to eyebrow raising  choices of activities and unexpected reactions, then to an alert and fast pace due to the snowball effect style of revelations.

Director:  Dave Franco      

With: Dan Stevens, Alison Brie, Sheila Vand, Jeremy Allen White, Toby Huss

Rating: 7/10

Day Shift (2022)

A father works hard to keep his little girl close and the job involves hunting vampires.

'Day Shift' is an action comedy with vampires. At times it reminds one of Fright Night, especially in the vampiric typology, but also of John Wick. Jamie Foxx is relaxed and appropriate in the role and Dave Franco makes an unexpected comic addition.

Director:  J.J. Perry  

With: Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Snoop Dogg, Eric Lange, Peter Stormare

Rating: 8/10

6 Underground (2019)

O echipa speciala independenta pune la cale misiuni militare neautorizate dupa ce si-au abandonat oficial vietile personale.

Un film de Michael Bay tipic, adaptat la tehnologia de ultima ora atat in continut cat si executare. Antrenant si rapid, are o actiune fluida si adesea incoerenta, dar reuseste sa isi pastreze publicul atent si curios in ciuda elementelor ridicole. Nu duce lipsa de umor sau de muzica buna ce puncteaza eficient momentele mai intense sau dorite intense. Primele 10 minute sunt foarte bine facute.

Regia:  Michael Bay    

Cu: Ryan Reynolds, Mélanie Laurent, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Ben Hardy, Dave Franco, Adria Arjona

Rating: 7/10
