Gerard Morel

A passable, but anti climactic entry in the series. Sam Neill is good as Damien and, actually looks like a grown up version of the previous Damien! There is a lot going on in this film. Damiens rise to power, the second coming of Christ, seven Monks trying to assassinate Damien with the kids of Meggido. All of which makes the film feel overly complicated. The monks going after Damien was a good narrative which really could have carried the film along by itself but by the final third of the film it all falls apart and becomes very tedious. Gorehounds may find this one appealing as there are several very unpleasant death scenes. The most distressing of which involves a monk getting wrapped in a plastic sheet and burned alive, his body swinging back and fourth from a rope whilst screaming horrendously. Don't let the kids watch that one! The ending of the film is downright disappointing as Damien dies from a single stab to the back and the final conflict ends there..... Not great, Not good..... Not terrible

I was on Netflix and scrolled passed this one. I put it on because I recognised Daniel Bruhl from Inglorious Basterds. My plan was to have it on in the background whilst I scrolled through social media. However, As soon as the first race sequence ended I was very invested. The actors are really on top of their game, particularly Bruhl who's performance as Niki Lauda is truly captivating. How he never won an Oscar is beyond me..... Rush really sucks you in and you'll fine yourself unable to turn away. Similar to Cool Runnings that has you truly interested in a sport you've probably never had anything more than a passing interest in, Rush is up there with the best Sports movies. Could quite honestly watch it over and over and not get bored
