We Are Legends (2019)
Offensive to a viewer's intelligence
What happens when you take all the worst cliches, stereotypes, trivialities belonging to the American MMA-scene, and you combine them with a painfully poor script-writing, a bunch of flat, predictable characters, and a storyline with no moral or content? You obtain a movie such as this one. Probably one of the worst fight-movies I have watched in years. Hong-Kong cinema might have its downfalls from time to time - but We are Legends has set the bar too low. Don't waste your precious evening on something like this.
Sonora (2018)
A rabble of cliches and bias
I'd dare to say that this movie is a failed attempt to assert a political message by drawing on historical events and manipulating them. The acting is pathetic, cheesy and over-dramatic. The whole movie is filled with cliches and unnecessary conflicts, so much that it reminded me of the kind of poorly written prose my professors warned me to stay away from. The world isn't just black and white - it is obnoxious to state that all rich men are good and all poor men are bed, but at the same time it is quite stupid to declare that all rich men are evil and all poor men are good. This is what this movie does: sailing from one prejudice to the other, while constantly claiming to denounce "racism" and "discrimination". Left-winged naivety at its best.
