By Any Means

By Any Means

By Any Means is based on a true story. In the 1960’s the FBI sent a man of color agent into rural Mississippi to investigate a number of brutal murders and killings that targeted Civil Rights Leaders.

The FBI Agent is forced to work alongside a Mafia Hitman, Greg Scarpa (Mark Wahlberg). The Agent soon finds himself being pulled into a deadly hunt where justice and vengeance begin to blur. The Agent and the Mafia Hitman agree to disagree on how justice is served. They do agree on one thing and that is the Law has limits, THEY DON’T. The story unfolds from there…

The story is dark, intense, violent and very bloody at times. If you are a compassionate person, this movie will make you angry. By Any Means will not be on my favorite list, but it was worth seeing. Mark Wahlberg does a great job of being a Mafia Hitman.

I actually saw this movie on Friday Sept 4th, I needed time to think about what I wanted to say about the movie.

This is a 3 Star Movie!!

The Matrix Resurrections in AMC Dolby

The Matrix Resurrections in AMC Dolby

It’s been 18 years since the Matrix Franchise graced us with an installment. I thought they were gone for good since everyone is aging, but alas the franchise has pushed out a new installment.

This Matrix installment is nothing like the installments that came before it. It lacks the fluidness and style of the Matrix Trilogy. Although it does revisit the Franchise with zeal.

In this installment we find Neo aka Mr. Anderson trying to determine if his reality is a physical or mental construction. To determine this Neo will have to follow the white rabbit once again. Once again, choice is an illusion and is still the only way out of or into the Matrix. This time though, The Matrix is stronger, more secure and more dangerous than ever before. The saga unfolds from there…

This reboot is a good one, although there are a few lulls in the story. The special effects at times are breathtakingly cool and at other times scary. There is tons of non-stop action, intrigue and suspense. Just what you expect from Sci-Fi. I was also impressed by the cinematography and camera angles. 

If you are a fan of the Matrix Franchise, “The Matrix Resurrections” should not be missed.

“The Matrix Resurrections” is in Theaters and streaming on HBO MAX.

This is a 3 ½ Star Movie!!
