Pain & Gain (2013)
Pain and gain
I've seen this movie because a friend recommended it and it was a pretty good movie. The director, Michael Bay is a well know director for his films and this one was different then the others. Michale is known for the explosions in his movies but there isn't many in this movie. This movie was based on a true story in Florida that happened in 1995. The three main actors Mark Walhberg, Dwayne Johnson, and Anthony Mackie came together to play a good role in the movie. The movie is based on a kidnapping, torture, and murder of several people by the body builders. They were tired of being who they were and tired of not being rich. They made a plan to kidnap a rich high class guy that didn't appreciate anything and torture him until he signs money over to them into their bank accounts. Mark was inspired in the movie by a motivational speaker and then got together with friends he made at the gym. They start running out of money in the movie and the cops are catching onto them especially with Dwanyes actor in the movie because he has a cocaine addiction. When mark tries to go to the bank and get his money out the cops are there and the downfall of the movie starts to begin where the cops start to catch onto them and there plan they had. Overall they movie was a good movie due to the great actors and they plot of the movie being based on a true story.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
Great movie
I remember seeing this movie when it came out in theaters. I chose this movie because it was a good movie. The main charter Ricky bobby played as Will Ferral is a good actor in general in my opinion in other movies he played in. I like this movie because of the plot of it was interesting. Ricky bobby was a pit crew member until one day he got into the car during a race and did great. He got noticed and started driving Nascar for a company and he was number one in the races. His friend Cal always helped him in the races and came in second or third and asked why cant he be first for once. He realized he was being used and his Ricky crashed one race and he lost everything. His sponsorship, house and his wife married Cal and he was living with his mother delivering pizzas. Then slowly he got his old pit crew back and they built a car. His competition came from France to race him which also made him lose his spot in racing. There were a lot of shots in the movie a during the races it was face paced but enjoyable to watch
American Sniper (2014)
Good movie based on true story
I chose this movie because It's a real entertaining action movie based on a true story of an American hero Chris Kyle. The movie is based off a man named Chris Kyle that joined the navy seals in 1999 and got the most confirmed kills. In the beginning of the movie they show him at navy seals training which they made it look easy compared to the real thing. There is a lot of long shots in the movie because he was a sniper and it showed how far the target usually was. He was called an American hero because of the amount of kills he got when he was deployed. He had 160 confirmed kills out of 255 claimed kills. His wife later gets mad that he keeps deploying but that's all he knows what to do. Once he goes back home he seems out of place and has just doesn't seem right. He goes back to fight more and one day they got surrounded on a rooftop and finally decided it was time to go home. He wanted to help soldiers when that got back so he was helping them at a disabled veterans meetings. One day he took one former marine out shooting and was killed by him. That was the downfall of the movie and a lot of people were crying because it was based on a true story and it was a terrible thing that happened.
Lone Survivor (2013)
Based on a true story of four navy seals that went on a mission to kill a Taliban leader. Later got out numbered by Taliban only one navy seal "Marcus luttrell" made it out.
Well I chose this movie because the amount of times I've seen it, probably one of my favorite moves. After watching this movie I went further into it read about he actual mission and what happened. I've watched a lot of Marcus Luttrell actual talks about what happened on the mission.
The actual mission was called operation red wings and happened on June 28, 2005. Mark Wahlberg played as the main character Marcus Luttrel. I liked the overall movie really a tense movie with well played actors. In the beginning of the movie the scene of the navy seal buds training was the real clips. They used class 234 buds training scene to show the seals in the making. The inaccurate part of the movie were the sounds of the guns were the classics Hollywood rifle sounds but that didn't affect the movie in my opinion.
One thing I wish was more clear is when the goat herders discovered them in the mountains the seals had to do something with them. The options were to kill them, let them go, tie them up and leave or take them with them. They let them go and later in the movie Taliban soilders outnumbered the seals. My question is was it the herders that they let got notify the Taliban?
Three of the seals died on the mission and one made it out barely. He was injured but crawled to a village where the had a old ethical code called pashtunwali where they are to protect any people in danger that comes into their village.
Overall I liked the movie because of the overall story and what happened. Even though three navy seals died one made it out alive to tell the story. it was filmed in New Mexico but the terrain of it seemed so real compared to Afghanistan. Great movie and would defiantly recommend it.
