The Suicide Squad

Based on a comic book co-written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad follows a secret government agency that recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated supervillains. The purpose is to form a defensive task force. Their first mission is saving the world from the apocalypse.

These supervillains are impressive with Quinn, Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Then, there is a collection of cons at Belle Reve prison who join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Here, they are heavily armed and dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.

Gunn is best known for directing the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. John Ostrander co-wrote the script with Gunn, based on his modern comic book version.

“Rambo: Last Blood” Posters, Stallone Interview & Trailers

Directed by Adrian Grunberg, Rambo: Last Blood (aka Rambo V) arrives four decades after John Rambo, played by Sylvester Stallone, hitchhiked through the Northwest small town looking for a place to stay the night. The sheriff, played by the late Brian Dennehy, drew first blood, and Rambo showed him the who is most skilled and toughest.

The interview with Stallone is heartfelt and wise words from a man who knows the industry and understands the components to produce and story worth seeing.

After three Rambo movies, he is back for the final installment of the franchise. You can hear his words from the movie trailer. He becomes a man who must confront his past. He will be ruthless, using his combat skills achieve revenge in his final mission of vengeance. The studio says it’s the closing chapter of the legendary series.

Stallone calls this the last Rambo movie.

Grunberg worked as a second unit director and first assistant director for several well-known movies including Man on Fire, Jack Reacher: Never Go BackWall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. He directed the Mel Gibson headliner Get the Gringo. With his direction, the last installment of Rambo looks promising. 

Matthew Cirulnick and Stallone wrote the screenplay, and Cirulnick writing credits are impressive with tons of episodic television and a few movies in pre-production.

The rest of the cast includes Paz Vega, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Adrianna Barraza, Yvette Monreal, Genie Kim aka Yenah Han, Joaquin Cosio, and Oscar Jaenada.

Never mess with Rambo. He kicks some booty in this movie.

The movie clip promotes the release of the movie. It shows the action and destruction Rambo is known for doing. The oneliners are expected but true to form.

“Backtrace” Trailer and Poster

Directed by Brian A. Miller,  writing about movies with a low-budget and former box office draw actors is an interesting proposition. Sylvester Stallone and Matthew Modine are legends in their own right. Yet, I ponder the worth of producing a movie that, most likely will go straight to On Demand, Blu-ray, and DVD.

Backtrace follows MacDonald, played by Modine, after suffering a brain injury from a bank heist gone wrong.  He develops amnesia and is put into a prison psychiatric ward, any psychiatric ward needs to be closed down,  The system doesn’t work.

Following his seventh year in an evaluation, he is coerced by an inmate, played by Ryan Guzman,  and a doctor,  played by Meadow Williams, to break out of prison. After breaking out they coerce him into taking an injection of serum that forces him to relive the life he’s forgotten.

MacDonald must now elude a local detective, played by Sylvester Stallone, a toughened FBI agent, played by Christopher McDonald, and the drug’s dangerous side effects in order to recover the stolen money all while confronting his past.

Modine is best known for the current Netflix hit – Stranger Things.  Stallone is making a name for himself in the Creed movies.

“Escape Plan 2: Hades” Poster, Trailer, and Blu-ray/DVD

Directed by Steven C. Miller, Escape Plan 2: Hades focuses on years after Ray Breslin, played by Sylvester Stallone, fought his way out of the escape-proof prison called “The Tomb.”

He’s organized a new top-notch, for-hire security force. But when one of his team members goes missing inside a computerized techno-terror battle-maze known as HADES, Breslin together with Trent DeRosa, played by Dave Bautista, must now decipher a way to break into the world’s best-hidden prison, release their kidnapped team, and make it out alive.

Bar Fight movie clip is pretty much what you’d expect from a Stallone movie. The fact that he is still able to shoot ’em up means the guy has stamina.

Also starring in the movie are Jesse Metcalfe and Curtis Jackson. The Blu-ray and DVD have hit the streets, so you can see the movie that way.
