One Life - 6.5/10
Moving, but not overly brutal tale of children being evacuated from Czechoslovakia in 1938. Brilliant performance from Anthony Hopkins without which it would feel a bit twee, but he's on top form, as is Lena Olin who plays his wife. The brief scenes with Helena Bonham Carter are excellent too.
Good stuff overall but lacked a bit of depth for me.

Looking at the trailer for it it looks like Brideshead Revisited, is that about right?
John Wick 4
I know they're not exactly heavy on plot but this is just over stylised utter cack, one action scene after another where you sometimes can't tell where one ends and the next one starts, even if I didn't have a low boredom threshold I'd probably struggle with it, and they said in the first one, 'you don't kill John Wick,' thank God that was wrong.

The Vow - 3.5/10
The most generic date film I've seen in a while. I can imagine two scenarios (both remarkably stereotypical) for watching this:
Girls sitting around eating ice-cream and crying over how cute it is.
Guys bored out of their skulls, who've been tricked because Channing Tatum is in it, and he punches someone in the face.
Admittedly, the crash at the beginning was visually impressive, but it was shocking otherwise.
The other scenario, is that you're doing alternate film nights working through the alphabet, and your viewing partner's choice was V. Which means I've got W this evening, and I've got some excellent films to choose from.

Channing is fit, but can't act to save himself.
I enjoy ice-cream, but I prefer icier cold confections.

Truish WW2 story of the clerks and storemen in rear echelon assigned to drive trucks through unsecured roads to get all the stuff to Pattons tanks.
Driving 24/7 for 3 months along dedicated routes they kept it rolling.
The drivers were primarily black soldiers but in this b/w Hollywood version, most were not. Stil, and grand performance by Sidney Poitier.
