[TWSN] Matt McLain Should Win Rookie of the Year – Editorial remark: Hahahahahahaha
Rating: C-
Dir: Ben Wheatley
Star: Jason Statham, Jing Wu, Shuya Sophia Cai, Sergio Peris-Mencheta
Save your self roughly a hour and fifty minutes, and simply watch the trailer. If ever there was a case the place all the good things will be discovered within the coming attraction, this could be it. I’ll admit I raised a quizzical eyebrow after I heard Wheatley was going to be the director. His filmography is stuffed with stuff like Kill List, small-scale and off-beat. It’s troublesome to think about some studio government watching A Field in England, and going “That’s just the man we need for our $130 million prehistoric shark movie!” The outcomes show considerations justified. I think Wheatley thought the entire thing was an elaborate prank, and saved enjoying alongside, till lastly realizing it was for actual on the premiere.
