Michael R Exciting 80s movie that still holds up very well. Hutton is fantastic, and so is Penn when he used to care about being a serious actor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Tic Toc M Not bad, and interesting true story. One keeps seeing the same term used about this film: dated. Pat Metheny's score goes a long way in making it feel that way. This movie could be improved just by putting a new score on it. Luckily there's not much of it past the first fifteen minutes. The movie really starts coming together 20 minutes in, when Hutton's story (and path) becomes clear. Sean Penn is excellent, fans of his "Carlito's Way" performance might want to check this out. Even at the time, it felt like he was consciously building his acting reputation (definitely De Niro was a huge influence, specifically the King Of Comedy performance). Timothy Hutton is ok, kinda bland and serviceable, not able to surpass his "Ordinary People" performance, but this is the second movie I'd tell someone to watch, if they wanted to check out his work. (Actually "Taps" would probably be it, which also includes Sean Penn and a young Tom Cruise, one of HIS best performances). Darian Harewood, whom many will know from "Full Metal Jacket", has a good role in this. Lori Singer has virtually nothing to do throughout the movie, they obviously expended not one scintilla of energy on her character or the "love story" that ends up completely dead weight. Some other good performances: Richard Dysart definitely comes to mind. John Schlesinger does a solid job. The story definitely keeps you watching. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A awesome movie and performances by Penn and Hutton! Greed and Power can lead you to a place that you don't want to be, Especially if you're in the CIA and you commit a heinous crime- treason ! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review ranny l Are you ready to fly into nonstop action? Are you ready to watch a show that will belly laugh and also immerse you in an emotional ride of a lifetime? Well if so, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the show for you! Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan return in iconic roles, delivering mind-blowing action choreography and creative new ways to show action like Marvel hasn't achieved before. This will definitely bring a smile to long time Marvel fans, and it will also be extremely enjoyable for first time Marvel viewers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is set six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame, establishing the current status of Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). Sam (aka the Falcon) is still completing missions fighting crime left and right. Bucky (aka the Winter Soldier), on the other hand, is lying very low. He is dealing with mental health issues, trying to make peace with himself and the world. When the terrifying villain Zemo makes his reappearance from the events of Captain America: Civil War, Bucky and Sam must team up and defeat this foe. In Captain America: Civil War, we get a taste of the Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan duo. Everyone loved it. Now to satisfy our lust for more, we have The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Their chemistry is outstanding. You laugh consistently throughout the show, making you want more and more. The visual effects and writing departments each deserve a lot of credit for the extremely creative route the show takes, demonstrating to the world what beautiful effects Marvel can produce. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is intense at times. A good portion of the show is pure action that some parents might not be comfortable with their younger children seeing. Some episodes contain mild cursing. The show does offer many morals and lessons. It explores themes such as teamwork, love and friendship. It also teaches the lesson that, even though you might have lost someone you love, they would have wanted you to move on and continue to live the life you want. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier soars higher than the Falcon does in the show, delivering plenty of great laughs and action-packed scenes. The show does contain intense action and cursing. Therefore, I give The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 11 to 18, plus adults. Every Friday a new episode releases on Disney+ starting March 19, 2021.
