Movie reviews of Bob Mann

2018, Adventure, Fantasy, Action

An early summer blockbuster actioner that gets two thumbs up from me. What a pleasant surprise!

2018, Drama, Comedy, Love

After a bit of a bumpy start, its a pleasant watch that culminates in a feel-good ending.

2017, Drama, Comedy, Love

A film that most over-50’s will find a pleasant way to spend two hours.

2018, Drama, Action, Suspense, Mystery

There’s a good ‘post cold war’ spy film in here trying to get out. Unfortunately, it never quite gets both legs over the wall.

2017, Drama

It has truly dynamite performances from Allison Janney and Margot Robbie.

2018, Adventure, Fantasy, Action, Science fiction

A high-energy and uniquely different take on Marvel that absolutely pays off.

2017, Drama, Love

This is a really exquisite and gentle film.

2018, Adventure, Drama

A gripping, stressful, but far from flawless watch.

2018, Drama, War

A tense and very well-executed movie that ably demonstrates the British “stiff upper lip” in public and the weak whiskey-soaked psychosis in private...

2017, Fantasy, Drama, Love

Witty, intelligent and shocking at different turns.

2017, Drama, Comedy, Science fiction

The underlying concept is a good one: it is just one that has, in my humble opinion, been implemented in a bizarrely slipshod manner.

2018, Drama, History

An impressive watch and older viewers, and anyone interested in American political history will, I think, love it.

2018, Drama, Action, Suspense, Crime, Mystery

Melds Taken, Non-stop, Unstoppable, Strangers on a Train and Spartacus to create a cinematic mess of supreme proportions.

2017, Drama, History

A great film for really reliving a knife-edge moment in British history, and is highly recommended particularly for older viewers.

2017, Drama, Suspense, Crime, Mystery

A high-class, intelligent crime thriller that takes Mexican standoff to a whole new level. Recommended.

2017, Drama, Crime

A good film, but an intelligent watch that mandates your attention.

2017, Drama

It’s certainly not a perfect film, but its energy and drive carry it through as a memorable movie musical...

2017, Drama, Comedy, Crime

I am in awe of how someone can sit down with a blank piece of paper and come out with this story, these characters and this dialogue.

2017, Drama, Comedy

If you like Coogan and Brydon then you will get more laughs out of this one.

2017, Music, Comedy

But, seriously, life is too short for this.

2017, Comedy

A Christmas comedy it is an OK watch...

2017, Adventure, Fantasy, Action, Comedy

It’s really not half as bad as it could have been and certainly not as bad as I feared: I would gladly watch it again.

2017, Drama, Comedy, History

A delight...

2017, Adventure, Fantasy, Science fiction

So, did I enjoy this film? Yes I did. But did it fully meet my (high) expectations? No it didn’t.
