Seven Days in May, 1964 - ★★★★

I swear Aaron Sorkin has spent his entire career trying to make this movie. He’s not Rod Serling, though, and he’s sure not as capable a director as Frankenheimer. This is close to as good as it gets for classical liberal spirit.(Seriously, though… President Lyman? Probably the West Wing character’s name is just a coincidence.)This […]

Not quite even the sum of its parts. The parts are really good: Tjahjanto knows his way around an action scene, and I’m always up for an emotional revenge flick set in an underworld of deadly assassins. His trademark bloody battles clearly draw on more gruesome horror tropes, starting with that very first kill. So […]
