so i figured i would start this thread so that We could recommand movies that may not be the top blockbuster of the summer and movies that maybe overlooked but are deffently worth a look
[and yes D i'll put serious movie picks, not the movies i think are "awesome"...but i make no guarantee of this being a dolph lundgren free thread]
So i'll kick it off with a movies i just finished watching 20 mins ago.
Dog Soldier
Netflix summary
In Neil Marshal's Directorial debut, a squad of soldiers is sent out on what should have been a routine military exercise in the wilds of Scotland. But the excursion turns into a walking nightmare when Sgt. Wells [Sean Partwee] and his men discouver the blood corpses of Capt. Ryan's [liam Cunningham] battalion. As the sun does down, the soldiers are tracked by a pack of werewolves determinded to feast on their flesh
Alright at first most would see this movies as just a low budget shitpot, but serious this movies is wicked, the gore is all you could ever ask for. There is not even ONE weak link in the acting, every actor gives a great performance. The whole movies only involves a handful of actors wich is personaly what i tend to like. It starts one of my Absoulty favorite actors, Kevin McKidd [HBO's ROME, journey men, kingdom of heaven] in truth he is the reason i got this movies because i know what a great actor he is. It is a whole british perduction to everything is to the point, brutal and as it should be. The Werewolves themselves [mind you, there is no surpise you know what your dealing with right out of the gate so no spoiler there] look like REAL gorram werewolves. Ok ok not really real but some of the best ones i have ever seen, period, And yes you get to see the whole werewolf. You see them moving, running, attacking, biteing, feasting... not just a puppet arm or head, FULL ON suits and they are a full 7-8 feet tall. The action scenes are just amazing and of coarse it has it greatest moments of the great one liners....
right before a solider gets eaten after slugging it out (yes slugging it out, bare knuckles boys) with one of the werewolves the beast grabs him by the throat ready to kill... the solider looks not nose to muzzle with the beast, spits his gum out at and says
"i hope i give you the shits for weeks ya tossa"
hells yeah!
