I give this a 10 not because it was flawless. It was far from. But, because it surpassed my expectations AND was better than the first (IMO : I've heard differential opinions.) Usually I avoid giving 10's because usually I give 10's to films I believe everyone should see. Which is not this. If some horror fanatic asked for recommendations, I would not recommend this. But, this is different. This one is a film I honestly believe is the exception (I won't say only, because I've given 10's to films before) because : I was laughing through almost all of it. In my opinion this was bigger and better than the first. The beginning was HILARIOUS. Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins were even funnier in this one than the first! The script was more in touch with the characters rather than the first when it was super rushed. (Besides Stacie, Jessica, Ashley and Jesse who were in it notably less.) They introduced a new BELLA who is HYSTERICAL (Flo) And they had great music. (Including Jessie J's 'Flashlight.) Overall, if you're a fan of Pitch Perfect... Please see this. SCRIPT - 10/10 ACTING : 9.5/10 (what do you expect?) JOKES - 10/10 SONGS - 10/10 OVERALL - 10/10

We all know that there're a lot of series about lawyers, so maybe you're asking yourself why you should what another. First of all, it's from the creator of Breaking Bad, therefore you can have a good idea about the quality of the show. Secondly, it is about how a good persona gets involved in a corrupt environment, as a result of bad luck!. Next, it might make you ask yourself what you would do in a dilemma and you would get surprise about how they react. You also might like to know that it's in Arizona, the main character is a good poor man and he won't have a good time. I love that series and I can't wait for the next season, so will you if you follow my recommendation. :)

Reviews

Ex Machina has a very fitting sense of false intimacy. This is done visually as many of the close-ups are seen through glass. No matter how close we get to the subject on-screen, there always seems to be at least one wall of glass between us and it or them. The film also makes a very distinct contrast between it's interior and exterior shots. Outside of the facility is breathtaking landscapes. It is big, beautiful, refreshing and vibrant. Inside seems like an endless futuristic maze of glass, mirrors, plastic, chrome and dim lights. It is clean, cold and claustrophobic. A perfect setting for the subject that is explored in this tight, tense sci-fi thriller.

Ex Machina is the best science fiction film on artificial intelligence since Blade Runner. While Blade Runner is an action thriller that relies more on it's epic visuals to tell it's story, Ex Machina is a dialogue-driven psychological thriller that slowly works it's way under your skin. Thought-provoking and terrifyingly suspenseful, an induced state of paranoia may linger long after the end credits begin to roll.

No Idea why people love it but this movie is much worst than Grown ups 2 or maybe just like Grown Ups 2.The jokes are forced out and so damn stupid.The trailer looks good I gave it a chance but I was terribly wrong the movie didn't do anything much to make me laugh it is a pain to watch it.They try too hard to make the audience laugh but it didn't work but there's some jokes that make me chuckle but nope it still hate this movie.The movie is forgettable and horrifically bad.I think it's time to stop making this kind of movie it's dumb and it's also tiresome.This movie is sadly the same as the first one nothing new to but it's just a rehash of the first film so If there is another movie or a sequel to this I'd better wait for it to be aired on television cause my money is not worth it.

Pretty Good Film and very similar to an old 80's favorite "Midnight Run" , (which grossed $38Million in '88, comparable to $300 Million in today's dollars) starring Robert Dinero, Charles Grodin, and tough guy Dennis Farina (one of the best hard-nosed tough character actors of the last 30 yrs). Similar to Reese Witherspoon's Role of the Police Officer transferring Beautiful Vengara as a key Protective Custody Criminal witness person across multiple state lines, back in 1988 Federal Marshall or BOunty Hunter Robert Hunter had to transfer Mafia Accountant Charles Grodin from Coast to Coast. "Hot Pursuit' has a lot of High Speed car scenes A great Climatic end scene with Mob Boss Dennis Farina made "MidNight Run' funny and gutsy, just like "Hot Pursuit"'s high speed chase scenes, Reese using a Gun, and provocative sensual chemistry of both leading ladies makes this film fun to watch, as well. Hopefully it will garner will more $$$ Revenue than Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthey's 2013 hit film 'Heat' which grossed $159 Million.

Reviews

The acting in this I cannot fault, though Adeline has a very low range of emotions given the material, her demure persona is a sign of the times in which she was raised. Perhaps it was the stiff upper lip if the early 20th century? I have never seen the male lead and he suited his part well.
