Snowpiercer
Connelly is well cast as the often necessarily hard but all too human head of the train.
The Craft: Legacy
Zoe Lister-Jones pays homage to the 1996 movie with Easter eggs sprinkled throughout however, the story never gets fully fleshed out leaving the audience a little unsatisfied and somewhat confused.
Tenet
Washington is decent as the Protagonist but not as good as he was as Ron Stallworth in BlacKkKlansman.
Paramount Presents: Trading Places
Since 48 hrs. had yet to be released, Landis and the studio took a big risk casting Murphy, fortunately, the gamble (pun intended) paid off.
Collateral
While Cruise was obviously the box office draw for Collateral, it was Foxx who was on a career-high in 2004.
Paramount Presents: The Golden Child
Murphy, once again, plays “the coolest guy in the room”, an act we have come to almost expect from him.
Beverly Hills Cop
Murphy is a one-man show backed up by his supporting cast – especially Reinhold and Ashton – who allow Murphy the freedom to do what he does best.
Lord of the Rings, The: Motion Picture Trilogy
The acting, directing, score, special effects and screenplay are excellent, and the three films have won seventeen Academy Awards combined.
Coming to America Steelbook
Coming to America showcased Murphy at the height of his fame and success and it was the perfect vehicle for both him and Hall.
