What was the last movie you saw...? Part IV

[Charger]

Bleeding Steel


In near future a police officer is nearly killed when facing off a Bioroid, a man with a mechanical heart and superior healing abilities while trying to protect the inventor of the technology. 15 years later he tries to protect his daughter who begins to have strange dreams about her past.

A rather strange Hong Kong action movie starring the one and only Jackie Chan.

The plot is bit all over the place and it's bit hard to follow but Jackie still does a great job with the fight scenes that are as good as anything he did 20 years ago.

I think this tries to ride the Marvel movie wave but doesn't really catch it. It's a fun little movie but nothing more.

THE BLUFF

A former pirate queen is living a quiet life on a caribbean island with her new family but once her husband is captured by her old pirate partner who she betrayed and comes looking for her and the gold she stole, she has to find a way to fight an entire crew of vicious pirates lead by brutal captain Fransisco Connor to keep her family safe.

Priyanka Chopra does a fair job with the lead and she does put herself through a lot but her Rambo act doesn't quite ring true. However Karl Urban as Captain Connor oozes evil and brutality and he does so with great presense and conviction. Temuera Morrison does another fine role as the first mate, he's been getting a lot roles lately and I do enjoy his work...this is no exeption.

The movie is delightfully brutal, which is not something you'd automatically expect these days especially from an Amazon Prime production. The ending fight has maybe little too many similarities to Rambo: Last Blood, but that can be forgiven.

All in all a very entertaining action movie based on a subject matter there aren't that many movies based upon..part from Pirates Of The Caribbean which are of a different genre all together.
