Borderlands - This got absolutely slaughtered in reviews so I had very low expectations. I think the problem people were having with this movie was the difference between it and the beloved game of the same name. Me, I don't care about the game and had no idea what it was about before viewing this flick. Well I thought it was pretty good. A great cast (if a little miscast here and there), and an enjoyable romp too. I did laugh out loud a few times - but I like Kevin Hart anyway so to me he can do no wrong. Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis dialled it in really but they at least gave it their all. Not overlong either, which some recent movies suffer from. It was actually filmed and in the can back in 2021 but needed some reshoots and hence a revised score to round it all off. Where it is a let down is its rating. It would have been much better as R rated - I mean this is Eli Roth we're talking about (Hostel etc.). Not bad at all - 7/10
