(2022 dir. Scott Mann) Date Seen: August 11 2022
• what if Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" played over the end credits. 😂
• lady friend we saw this with kept referring to "Hunter"
the peer-pressuring friend as "Cunter".
• after a rough start (that reminded me of VERTICAL LIMIT's intro) this had some good digital backdrop compositing; including tilting hemispherical landscapes that perspective convexed in photoreal ways. Aided no doubt by shooting outdoors in mostly natural light. So if a small indie like this can get 75% of their chroma key lighting to match, monolithic studios really don't have an excuse for so much of their's looking like blurry outline ass (Especially now w/virtual prod. LED volume walls)
• SPOILER↓ highlight below↓
I want to say FALL and 47 METERS DOWN (2017) would make a good thematic double feature mostly due to their having almost identical 3rd act reveals, but part of me thinks the former's tautness & vibrancy propped up against 47 METERS' intentional murk would make things too lopsided

(1996 dir. John Woo) 2nd Viewing: August 11 2022
The operatic way John Woo shoots action never gets old to me. It was fun revisiting this today, & also I forgot just how many epic "Shoulda had 'em bronzed" deaths the movie features (Howie Long's hilarious fall from the bridge even comes complete with an AAAHH!!! Real Monsters scream)
SHOULDA HAD 'EM BRONZED!
