IR Film Review: STREET FIGHTER [Paramount]
A video game adaptation can be done many ways but it depends who is adapting it. They can be done larger that life but the way the humor and the play of it works is key. "Street Fighter" wants to be fun but makes so much fun of itself while trying to have some real moments that is becomes embarrassingly stupid while still having a couple really cool sequences.
IR Film Review: BULLET TRAIN [Sony]
The concept of an action film on a train definitely has been done in different ways from “Money Train” to “Unstoppable” to even “Snowpiercer”. “Bullet Train” is a little more motley than most and has its day-glo spin but, in a way, it is just enjoyable bubble gum with not much to it but enough interesting characters, comedy and fights to keep the ball rolling sufficiently.
