Me and mrs. kg watched it. Not sure why she insisted on watching.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with all them shots of MBJ shirtless and glistenin'.
I concur with your assessment. Not great but entertaining. A lotta badarse action/fightin', particularly .....
... the scene where he's fighting the dudes in the jail cell.

The movie basically had nothing in common with the book except for the name of the main character. The book was based on action against drug dealers in the Washington D.C. area and action to rescue POWs in Vietnam. I realize that it wouldn't be possible to move the script to today's time and have action in Vietnam, but they could have stuck closer to the action in the book. I watched it expecting some of the things from the book. It was a OK action movie, but had they used a different character name and not used Clancy's name it wouldn't have changed the movie at all.

Watched this over the weekend with the Mrs. Midtown and thought it was a serviceable comedy with a loosely held together romantic plot thread. For a free movie, not too bad.

The Warren’s try adding to their dangerous artifacts of horror in their basement collection, if you have followed the series starting with Annabel in the collection of 7 films...comes, “The Conjuring 4, the Devil made me do it.”
It‘s more like The Exorcist of 1973, made them make this. I’ll give it a thumbs up, since it’s inspired by true events and does have a plot:

Glad someone posted this. I want to see a movie at the theater but don’t want to not know the story. So I’m watching Conjuring and Conjuring 2 tonight on Netflix to prep. I loved scary movies when I was a kid, now they are 2hr panic attacks
. Wish me luck.

Ok, made it through the first and 15 min into the 2nd. It’s just not good enough to continue. Glad I watched though so it saved me a trip to the theater for the new one. They’re not horrible, just not great.

Because movies about waking up, eating bran flakes, going to work, having a sandwich, sitting in traffic, eating a dry meatloaf, and falling asleep watching tv is not that interesting.
