XXX 3: Return of Xander Cage (2017)

If you have watched the previous two films then you would understand it is basically Samuel L Jackson hiring random criminals who like to do daring stunts, flirt/sleep with many women and have supped-up cars.

 

And with this film there is a difference of doing daring stunts, flirting/sleeping with many women, having a really awesome team and having supped-up cars only at the end. It is very easily to be compared to the Fast and Furious franchise not just for the layout of the film but also it has Vin Diesel's appalling acting in it again. Nina Dobrev and Ruby Rose give it the much need women who were just as powerful or better than the men on the team.

 

Yet, this time there is a device which can drop satellites on random people and they need to get to the device before the other team can use it. But, on the way they may drop some marines out of a plane, play Russian roulette with a grenade, make subtle lesbian jokes (thank you Ruby Rose for this) and show that sex really could get you many things.

 

I rate this film a 16/20.

Fallen (2017)

When the angels fell from heaven it was because their in support of Lucifer or because they hadn't decided what side they wanted to be on. But, one angel fell in love with a human and so he was cursed to live for eternity never ageing yet, she would die and every 17 year they would meet, fall and love and the circle would restart.

But, this time the circle may not be the same. Luce has always been told she is crazy and being stuck in a institutional school that's what they keep on telling her after all she did accidently set a fire which may or may not have killed a person. So when she meets Daniel she cant help but feel a pull towards him and feel like she has met him before.

Jeremy Irvine was definitely the correct choice to play Daniel as he can be aloof, attractive and dangerously mysterious. And well, curiosity killed the cat. With the residents on campus revealing their true selves it is becoming even more dangerous for Luce and any bystander around when the battle of Light and Dark were to be finalised.

This was in fact a book adaptation from a novel by the same name authored by critically acclaimed Lauren Kate.

I rate this film a 16/20.

Fifty shades darker (2017)

So if you have watched the first film or read the books then you would know that this is choca-block full of kink. So when this is lacking a certain amount it is slightly disappointing, though there are still spanking, Kegel balls and a spreader bar.
This time it is filled with more action packed moments with large builds up of tension, not only in the bedroom. If you want to see the right balance between a guy with anger issues, a messed up childhood and people who have trouble with understanding the word "No!".

In my opinion it is much better than the first film as it is focusing on filmography rather than the sex but I guess Sam Taylor-Johnson is trying to getting in to the sexy groove.

I rate this film 17/20.
