Sunset Superman

Stumbling upon the 2024 action comedy "Sunset Superman", seeing that it was starring Michael Jai White, and it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to check out what writer and director Jason Krawczyk had to offer.

The storyline in the movie was actually rather enjoyable, as it was a nice combination of action and comedy. Writer Jason Krawczyk put together a good script, and I have to say that I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 81 minutes that the movie ran for.

The acting performances in "Sunset Superman" were good. And Michael Jai White was nicely cast for the leading role and he carried the movie quite well. The only familiar faces on the screen were Michael Jai White and Billy Zane.

There is a good amount of action in the movie, and even some hilarious blood and gore. Yeah, that was quite a nice surprise, but a very welcomed one.

If you enjoy action comedies, then you should watch "Sunset Superman".

My rating of writer and director Jason Krawczyk's 2024 movie lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

Great and fun movie with a since of nostalgia. I would describe the movie as a lighthearted but mature home alone. MJW is fantastic, hilarious, and loveable, as always. Solid 9 for me personally, I enjoyed the entire film. Iv always felt White is such an amazing and definitely over looked talent in the film industry. With his extensive martial arts training and choreography skills sets him a step above alone but he's also great at any chacter personality. Very comedic with great timing , has the ability to play a convincing underdog or a dominating force. If your a fan of martial arts/action films he has an impressive and entertaining library that I would recommend.

I watched "Don't Mess With Grandma" because I have enjoyed some of Michael Jai White's other films, in particular, the cult favorite "Black Dynamite". And, while White once again beats the snot out of some jerks, this time he's older, less confident and not quite the invincible superhero.

Jasper (White) goes to his grandma's house and it soon is clear her hearing isn't very good and she's a tad oblivious. During this time at her house, some burglars arrive and try to break in...and Jasper pummels them. So, they bring more friends, and Jasper pummels them...and his grandma's pitbull kills one of them. So, they bring in more friends. Why? And, what's next? See the film.

This is not a great film but made me laugh quite a few times. I also appreciate how White is now well into his 50s...and while tough, he's NOT the man of steel. A clever comedy...though also one with an obviously low budget and modest pretensions. Worth seeing it you like White's work...otherwise, you might be able to skip this one.

I didn't have any high expectations from "Don't Mess With Grandma," but I have to admit that in the end, I was entertained...and that's pretty much all I ask of a movie.

Michael Jai White plays a former Special Forces soldier who is visiting his grandma. She is hard of hearing as well as hard of seeing, which allows the unlikely plot of him being able to spend all night hiding the fact that droves of robbers are trying to steal her blind...so to speak. Said robbers are led by a barely recognizable Billy Zane, hidden behind a really absurd mustache.

The situations truly are ridiculous, but the cast doesn't take it seriously and is able to walk that "fine line between stupid and clever." White does a nice job with the humor, although the soliloquies are a little long. But if you can suspend disbelief long enough and just take the movie on its own attempt at mindless entertainment, you can probably enjoy it. It is what it is. Nothing special, but good for a few chuckles.

This movie was put on Tubi because it probably didn't have a top budget. However, unlike most Tubi movies, the main character acted in true gangster style. The other characters were all over the place. I didn't hate the movie and was so I gave it a 9/10. I would have likely goven it a solid 10 if a little more was put into the storyline.

One thing about Tubi is if you get established actors you might get a wonderful movie. Again, this one was very good! To be honest, I could see a part two to this movie. It would love to see more back story. There was some real moments of acting & I appreciate that.
