 AT THE MOVIES #970                    BLOCKBUSTED

 

Simon Morris continues to be unimpressed by the so-called “blockbuster season”, and finds better – or at least more interesting – stuff on Netflix this week.

 

 

 

 

Bad Boys: Ride or Die is the fourth in the buddy-cop franchise starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.   Does it have the same magic 30 years after the first episode?

 

 

 

 

Under Paris – part shark-thriller, part French cop movie, part Greenie parable – why is it getting enthusiastic thumbs-up from unexpected quarters?  Starring Bérénice Bejo (The Artist), and recently Number One on Netflix.

 

 

 

 

And also on Netflix, Hit Man from arthouse darling Richard Linklater (Boyhood, The School of Rock, Before Sunrise) tells the true-ish story of a “fake hitman” working for the New Orleans Police Department.   Starring and co-written by Glen Powell (Top Gun Maverick, Anyone but you).
