Before watching this remake, I watched the original which to my surprise I still enjoyed. It's not a movie with deep characters and plot, but it was enjoyable because it fitted the era it was filmed in.
To my guess they have tried to make a simular movie with cardboard characters and a simple plot. Except Gyllenhaal is no Swayze, he lacks the charisma, coolness and despite all his muscles he lacks the conviction to be an actual tough guy.
One other character who I liked to name is that of Knox played by mma fighter Conor McGregor. His character was so far over the top like McGregor is in real life. Walking as wide as a 7ft 300 pound man, while he's far from that. It was kinda funny but the guy really can't act
The action sequences were kind of hit or miss. Some were enjoyable (more than the original) but some looked so fake because of the CGI they've added to the scene to make it more flashy.
I've given this movie a 4 star rating, but thinking about it I think a 3 star rating is more suitable.

The series really went downhill with the speed the Flash wouldn't be able to keep up with. The series isn't revolving around the Flash himself anymore but around everybody but him. Barry is no hero in this story, because he is helpless or stupid in 90% of the latest episodes. He keeps getting rescued by his 'stronger' wife and it starts becoming annoying.... The writing has declined to a questionable level, the uninteresting storylines keep piling up....it is becoming an overall mess. I feel bad about it as a initial fan, because I want to like this.... The series should have been cancelled a few years ago instead of dragging on like it does... Shame on the makers of this show!
It was around 1990 when I joined my first hiphop group and started rapping after falling in love with it in the years previous to that! I'm also from a small town and around the age those guys are playing. Love the atmosphere, the acting and the storyline. It reallly brought me back to those days! If you love hiphop and the 90s.... I will definitely recommend to watch this hidden gem on HBO Max! I'm from the Netherlands by the way.
