Review: "Unknown movie review"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This thriller does not disappoint with its fast pace and brutal fistcuffs. The movie opens straight to the point; Dr Martin Harris and his wife have just arrived in Berlin and take a taxi. After they arrive at the hotel, Martin realised his suitcase is missing and he takes another taxi and have it follow the taxi they were in. Soon, the taxi he is in crashed into a river. He goes into coma. He wakes up after a few days and finds that his wife does not recognise him. Another man says that he is Martin Harris. He goes out on a hunt on his stolen identity. Basically, the story goes straight to the point, leaving little time for Martin to actually cry or think properely. The whole movie is intense throughout with twists coming into the way. The final twist may be a bit ridiculous to some.
The movie does not actually feature many action scenes. There are only two major action scenes. First is the brutal fist fight with Martin and a guy. And it moves into an intense car chase scene. The second action scene is obviously the climax with another fist fight. Though there is little action, the brutal and realistic scenes deliver. The music by John Ottman is generic for a thriller.
Overall: With its fast pace, it is hard to be bored and it makes you want to know what kind of twists they can come up with. Warner Bros' thrillers are actually not bad. The Losers and Whiteout come into mind.

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 4/5 Review: "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey 3D movie review" This is the highly anticipated prequel to The Lords of the Ring movies. As a stand alone movie, it does pretty well to engage audiences with its great special effects and fantasy creatures. I cannot compare this with the first trilogy as I can hardly remember it although I will catch it later. But as it seems, this is more lighter than the serious first trilogy. Sure this has its fair share of intense battles but this is more light-heart. The story: With a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, you can be sure that this will take its sweet time to get the adventure going which is true. After a brief action-packed introduction, the movie moves slower. The first half and hour sees a hobbit's unwillingness to go for an adventure as the other dwarves plan to steal their treasures and take what is rightfully theirs. After the hobbit agrees, the fantasy adventure starts and following it are dangers.
