Ooops, the #film is called #CriminalSquad.
Quite a gritty, blunt #macho #action #thriller that entertained me in parts.
No rocket science, I could watch it once.
#PablloSchreiber, the antagonist, has a kick-ass vibe.

Monthly Round up on the Never Before Seen Movie Challenge of 2024
Part 2
2001s #TrainingDay
Denzel and Ethan Hawke. 24hrs of action or non action can sometimes feel like an arduous task for a movie. For me, something like #RunLolaRun is an exception and this movie does well at it too. Hawke is very good and I might just be inclined to say better than the Oscar winner DW,who is very "big" on screen here.
1953s #Stalag17
Starring William Holden and brought from the stage to the screen by Billy Wilder. It is obvious from the set up that this was originally a play. Apart from the few outside scenes, most of the action and dialogue takes place in the barrack. Holden is good if not a bit of a caricature of a tough Army sergeant and the awful, cartoonish German officer reminded me of Schulzt from Hogan's Heroes. A war movie but not a "war" movie as the men try to find out who is ratting them out to the command.
1964s #KingAndCountry
B&W, adapted from the stage play starring Dirk Bogarde and Sir Tom Courtenay. Again, one can see like Stalag 17, how this would have played out on a stage. Directed by blacklisted Joseph Losey who used Bogarde in #TheServant (great film) the yr before in 1963 . Premise: the Great War 1917, Courtenay is an alleged deserter and Bogarde is set to represent him at the court martial. Should have maybe been called Class and Country. The acting was extremely well done and I found the movie to be quite upsetting. But I came away with having thought that I had seen a great movie.
Watched today 1975s #OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest
Was waiting to be in the right frame of mind to watch this movie. That time never came. So today as I was stuck in bed with a cold and not wanting to turn on election news, I finally bit the bullet. The movie is about power and oppression and so many other themes to mention. So many recognizable faces. Jack Nicholson was amazing and it is touching to see his character bring joy and humanization to the men. Glad I watched it.
Just been up the road on this good girl.
Jazz did really well for her first ride off the farm.
Fingers are crossed that we can grow this into some good endurance rides.
After losing Paddy, Chris has taken on a new horse to train.
Young Ash is learning to pony beside Ol Man River.
Both boys did very well for a first session.

#DenzelWashington is the only movie superstar who regularly dies in his own action movies. It's one of the reasons why he's (and his movies are) the greatest!

#DejaVu (sorta)
In a Throwback Thursday moment, I FINALLY watched Training Day... just a shade under a quarter-century from its 2001 release!
Thought this run was going to be a lot harder than it was. Lucky for me the legs still had a little juice for the climbs.

My Daughter is the biggest fan of Denzel Washington, and because of that she refused to watch Training Day, because I told her Denzel is the villain in this movie.
That was ... unttil today ... she finally gave in, after I told her that Training Day was directed by Antoine Fuqua, who also directed the Equalizer movies.
You gotta know which buttons to push

I watched Training Day after seeing this review by Peter Bradshaw. Met expectations fully. Denzel is on fire here (probably his best performance?), so is Hawke and the movie is so tight from start to finish that I never felt like checking my phone in between.
