What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Brute Force - 1947

This is another one of those movies I have no idea how it ended up on my watch list. Not a clue.

A prisoner was set up and gets back from solitary with revenge on his mind. Not only that, he learns his wife won't get a life-saving surgery unless he's there with her. Now his mind is on escape. The problem is, this is a high security facility, and the chances are extremely low of success.

The plan is smacked together with some inside information but also really fast. There's also a snitch in the mix, and the plan only has a one in a million chance to succeed.

The movie is sad. There isn't any reason to get attached to the characters, because there will be disappointment. It reminded me of that movie where four men were driving trucks of explosive material and everyone died.

At least Calypso lived...
