9/10.

I was told I wouldn't like the ending prior to checking it out myself and I can't say that I would describe my feelings as "not liking the ending," but it wasn't how I wanted it to end.

For some reason, I found it as a breath of fresh air because how often do you sit and watch a movie and say "no way that would happen, this is stupid." Once you got past the idea that these were some super-mutant wolves and the fact that they were somewhat poorly presented aesthetically, the plot was amazing and the delivery was even better in terms of performance.

It flowed really well and again, if you embraced the concept that these wolves were just as socially active, if not moreso, with each other than the humans they were hunting, then it is easy to buy into what happens after.

Ideally, I would've liked for them all to make it out obviously so the movie kept you engaged by holding out hope. Towards the end, you were hoping Ottway and Henrick would at least make it, but when it got down to Ottway, for some reason, I felt satisfied in the ending because too often the protagonist makes some unbelievable jump from the edge of a cliff to grab on to the side of a chopper flying by.

Cinematography was excellent. And I was really pulled into the movie the performances of not just Neeson, but the supporting actors, of whom I can't really say I have ever seen them in anything else. It was perhaps their performances that sold the movie despite the idea that these wolves simply wanted to murder them. Maybe I'm in the minority but I found it to be one of the most gripping yet, complete movies I've seen in awhile outside of The Dark Knight Rises.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.

      WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

      He is a diva, even with Baltimore winning, he will cry and pout and ask to be traded. He cares about his numbers and stats for his next contract. Ironically, his best chance to showcase his ability was with us, now he is just an afterthought.
