Ludicrous 80s nonsense, with Stallone returning for Part 2 of the Rambo trilogy. We find our hero languishing in a labour camp after his outrageous behaviour in First Blood. Trautman swings a deal to release Rambo in exchange for a suicide mission back to Vietnam.
You see, there are still POWs missing for the last ten years after the war ended, and the bureaucracy wants evidence of their existence. Of course nothing is what it seems with these monsters, and Rambo is soon trapped behind enemy lines.
Stallone is very upset with pretty much everyone, and proceeds to obliterate anybody who looks at him funny. It's great fun, in equal parts stupid and exciting. 6/10.

A plethora of plot holes mars this Sorkin thriller, with Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman desperately trying to make sense of what is going on.
Pullman and Kidman are a happily married couple with financial problems who invite elite surgeon Baldwin to rent their upstairs to earn some extra coin. Is this a Pacific Heights retread? No, but there are certainly some familiar beats.
There is a serial killer/rapist subplot that makes no sense and has no resolution. The twists are ludicrous, and the character motivations inexplicable. Nicole and Baldwin are terrific though, while Pullman expertly plays his usual simp husband act. 6/10.

Three acting heavyweights deliver strong performances in a strangely bland tale of a mother and son who move in with an alcoholic and abusive husband and stepfather. Leo plays Tobias, a rebellious teen with dreams of something bigger than the miserable existence he finds himself.
DeNiro plays Dwight, an absolute delight of a man. He is an insecure alcoholic, abusive and cruel, and ensures his family is constantly walking on eggshells. We've seen this type of monster plenty of times in film, but this guy is so rooted in reality in this trie story, that we are never really afraid of him.
The performances are elite from the leads, particularly Leo in his breakout role. He more thsn holds his own in this company, with plenty of promise for the years ahead. 7/10.
