American Assassin ( PG )***
Lone Wolf !
Love is supposed to last . When a newly married couple fall prey to bad people things spiral out of control .. Sweet revenge is the theme that drives the emotions in American Assassin . Perfect for the times is this rah-rah expression from EOne Entertainment now making waves at countless Cineplex Theatres around sedate B . C .
People sign up for military service for any number of reasons . Left for dead , quick study Mitch Rapp has only one thing on his mind : kill those responsible for doing him harm . No one is safe from the determined gaze of Dylan O ’ Brien . Even Mitch ’ s handlers can ’ t quite figure out whether Rapp will be an effective agent or a dud . That task falls to hard as nails Stan Hurley . Versatile Michael Keaton again shows he can do anything as an ace black ops commander ready and able to do whatever it takes to do the bad guys / girls in .
Set in the dangerous world of fanatical Islam , American Assassin explores the murky world of Middle East politics and intrigue . Besides being far-fetched and at times outrageous , this movie is nevertheless a fun action adventure with lots of excitement . ●
Mother ! ( PG )*** Skin Crawler !
There will be blood . Prepare for the onslaught of hell in Mother ! Bring out the smelling salts for this macabre tale of horror from Paramount Pictures now drawing first blood at select Cineplex Theatres around B . C . By all accounts , lock up your firstborn .
Movies are traumatic experiences for most . Few could imagine the danger to befall a married couple when they relocate to an idyllic spot seemingly in the middle of nowhere . Aah , but looks and location can be deceiving .
There ’ s nothing like a new home to make couples closer . Just known as mother and him , main characters Jennifer Hudson and Javier Bardem seem content managing the problems of a new house . Here their new dream home is an old house in desperate need of repair . So early on , this place seems more like a haunted house as the lady seems to be constantly on edge while her poet husband has a severe case of writer ’ s bloc .
When one day , when a stranger or two comes a-calling their lives become a living hell . Exquisite casting sees Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer shine as a bewitching pair whose hots for each per spell big time trouble to their loving (?) hosts . Let the gorefest begin .
Complex director Darren Aronfsky again shows he knows how to hit all the right emotional buttons as this eerie atmosphere paves the way to a religious assault on the senses . Not for the faint of heart , Mother ! Is one terrifying experience that is sure to leave you shaken to the core . ●
