Mutiny, directed by Jean-François Richet and starring Jason Statham, is a fast-paced action thriller that follows bodyguard Cole Reed after he witnesses the murder of his powerful billionaire employer and is framed for the crime.

Reed’s path takes him aboard a container ship as he searches for the truth about who is responsible for the murder and the conspiracy surrounding it.

While piecing together the evidence, Reed discovers a human trafficking operation aboard the ship and vows to save the innocent people caught in the middle.

Reed charges his way to the top in only the way Jason Statham can. This adrenaline-fueled flick also has a tenderness that comes through in its solid plot development. Jason Statham and leading lady Annabelle Wallis were great together, although I felt the element of romance between them was underdeveloped.

The fight scenes were filled with action and moments of horror, while the special effects were frighteningly realistic. The costumes and set designs were eye-catching, and the stunts were fun and executed with great artistic athleticism.

The film moves at a very fast pace, but overall, it does not disappoint. For Jason Statham fans anticipating some summer thrills and kills, Mutiny delivers. It’s a good action film that leaves you wanting more.

I gave this movie 3½ stars.

Mild Spoilers Below:

Equalizer 3, directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and starring Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning, was a great action-packed film that gave fans everything they wanted in a thrilling Denzel Washington cinematic adventure.

This time, we find our anti-hero assassin, Robert McCall (Denzel Washington), on the beautiful banks of Italy as he deals with some unfinished business. That unfinished business leads him on the path of retirement. But before he can actually sit back and relax. He soon finds himself once again protecting the people he loves.

Entangled in a world of the Italian Mob, Robert partners up with CIA Agent Emma Collins (Dakota Fanning) as they work together to bring down the powerful organization that has been constantly terrorizing the citizens of a quaint Italian community.

Equalizer 3 was well-balanced and presented moviegoers with a familiar yet fresh take on character expansion while delivering a tone that ties in trauma, loyalty, and purpose. The story and action sequences were captivating. Denzel’s performance was magnetic; the second he appears on screen, you are drawn to his character. The effects were wild, and the reunion and chemistry between Denzel and Dakota were fantastic. The supporting cast added to the depth of the storytelling process while providing fans with a level of connection that creates an emotional reality based on the understanding that dark times won’t last forever.

This is a must-see action film. The director‘s perspective and the magic of the cinematography connected all the elements to make this movie a spectacular Labor Day weekend Blockbuster.

I gave this movie 5 stars.
