The Bourne Identity 4/5 - Really solid action flick. The sounds are a little cartoony and dated but definitely holds up
Final Destination 5 4/5 - Honestly I think it's the best in the series. It has the right mix of murder contraptions and plot contrivance. The whole "you can steal time by killing other people" kinda comes out of nowhere but it does give us a villain
Final Destination Bloodlines 3.5/5 - I'm a little surprised to hear people call this the best in the series. The premise was interesting but I feel like despite the big cast there just weren't as many big kills. I think it got a little too bogged down in the plot and forgot we're here for Rube Goldberg murders
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 3.5/5 - That title didn't age well. I like it as a MI movie but it does feel like it lowers the tension from the previous ones, a likely necessity due to it being part 1. Maybe this score changes aftrf I see Final Reckoning
The Death and Life of Bobby Z 2/5 - A common criticism I have of these B movies is that there are just too many plots going on. This is another case of that, Laurence Fishburne's character is confusingly motivated, I don't really agree that the central concept of the movie is valid. It's fine, but I expected better from this cast
I've been waiting to see MI - Dead Reckoning until I can see it and Final Reckoning back to back for that exact reason! I'm hoping it's a satisfying conclusion in case they actually stick to the statement that it's the last Cruise led movie in the series.
