You should always grade on a curve with movies. Not everything should be graded based on The Godfather or Citizen Kane. Go in with the right expectations on why you picked the movie. With Maria Wars, I expected an 80s/90s style action thriller, with some colorful characters with a nice backdrop. I liked Terry and Griff, both recognizable to Millennial audiences from Smallville and OC. It hit most of its marks on Action, Characters, and Rome was great scenery. Where it lost me was it trying to be too clever. Everyone is a double agent, everyone has a double cross, the drugs are always somewhere else. It got to the point where it didn't make sense, by the end, it twisted itself into a convoluted mess. I still don't know how Griff's brother got out lol. But, at no point was I bored or wanted to turn it off, and it went by fast, which is saying something. A 7/10 is what my scale is for something good, and this just missed the mark. But, for something new and different on Amazon Prime, I wouldn't say I was disappointed in time spent watching "Mafia Wars".

I rated it an 8, because it's one of those movies that when it is on, I just watch it. Aaron Paul is the best actor to be in a modern Car movie, and it shows. Not to mention this movie includes Rami Malek. This movie is simple, but that makes it what it is, just a good time!

It's obviously one of those cheesy romantic Christmas movies that are so bad they are fun to watch. That is exactly what this movie is, terribly cheesy with familiar faces from the past. This movie had one thing that those other cookie cutter formulaic movies don't have... Scoots!!! The dog was the main character and this puppy shined. If you love hallmark cheese, and adorable puppies, this movie is for you!
