#66 Movie Review (C) 2016 Dan's Movie Report EXCLUSIVE!

Above photo: #66 Poster from IMDB

Greetings valued Dan's Movie Report readers. Today you are all in for a glorious treat. Fresh off the private screening event in Los Angeles, A '#66' online screener comes across my desk courtesy of Creative Motion Pictures!

This Indonesian crime drama is full of twists and turns, and comes complete with furious action. The action fan must remember that this film is not 'The Raid' with non-stop martial arts prowess. The action comes at the conclusion of a detailed dramatic scene, that said when the action ramps up, the fights are furious and maniacal, combining fists, bats, and guns.

I liken #66 to 'The Godfather' or 'Scarface', but #66 is more, Asun Mawardi plays the title character and directs the film, which is rather amazing, considering he is in virtually every scene. He plays a hit-man, but has a change of heart when he is hired to kill a witness.

Asun mows down the bad guys with laser precision, in fact in '#66' there seems to be an endless stream of thugs wearing the same black suit, white shirt and black tie. The fights toward the end are so long, and at times even can detract a bit from the story, but for an action junkie '#66' delivers the goods, with knives, vases, chairs, and watch for a fish tank of course to be broken!

In '#66' the men have all the fun in the action scenes. I must say, I am so used to the ladies having action scenes, that the film felt like something was missing, hopefully for his next film Asun will bring in an action lady, to mix it up with the guys. Noni Anissa Ramadhani A.K.A. Donita plays the daughter of one of the main bad guys, though she has much screen time, I wish her character had more prominent development rather than essentially relegated to background. Donita is a solid young actress, and got to display some serious emotions in '#66', I hope to see more of her In future projects

Overall '#66' delivers on the promise of wall to wall action, in fact I can say that this film has more action than perhaps any film released in the last several years. The fights were well planned out, diverse, and the movements, camera angles, and lighting made them a joy to watch. Asun bit off a big piece of pie tackling '#66', that alone needs to be commended. For action fans '#66' rates a must own 7 out of 10.

Guitars and Guns (2017) Movie Review A Dan's Movie Report Exclusive! (C) 2016 Danny Templegod

 Be on the lookout for more exclusives from this amazing movie coming in 2017, including autographed memorabilia!

After interviewing the lovely and talented Erin O'Brien I knew I had to chat with the director of Guitars and Guns, Robin, and ask him about an early review copy. This film is everything an old school Metal DJ and a lover of action could possible want. Pulling no punches, 'Guitars and Guns' opens with the Dark overlord character type Jake Busey and his minions of crazy followers. Loved the setup and makes me think this could be amazing, or could be too over the top. The cool thing is, 'Guitars and Guns' focuses on a solid story of a crime drama wrapped in a Rock and Roll backdrop.

Robin knows how to focus efforts on the action but the cool thing is the action is part of the crazy story, yet there is drama, thrown in as well. Robin lets the ladies get in on the action, watch for

Cody Renee Cameron

as the insane biker chick, literally arising from the depths of crazy. I mean hey girls just need to do bad things, and that she does. Count me way in!

There is guns yes, but the music, the guitars, and rock in the film sing to the soul of an 80s metal guy like myself, unabashed and loud, the band rips through the rock, and the camera work is captures the angles like a concert in a 1000 seat club. What is not to like, two great things combined! Guitars and Guns Delivers in action and in musical energy. Indie films like this need to be encouraged and supported.

'Guitars and Guns' is like a concert in your home, with sexy, yet angry girls, Chuck Zito, and Jake Busey. The cover charge for this show is well worth it, a must purchase! 8 out of 10! Finally, please Mr Mountjoy, send Erin O' Brien and Cody Cameron over, to rock out, and kick my ass! The question is can Chuck Zito protect me, or is he just as crazy? Music, Mayhem, and Madness!

For Erin check out her interview on my site: http://dansmoviereport.blogspot.com/2016/07/actress-erin-obrien-interview-c-2016.html

Luke Cage (TV Series 2016-) Season 1 Review (C) Dan's Movie Report

Luke Cage Season 1 Review (2016) Dan's Movie Report Exclusive! Above photo is from  Netflix at 3am! www.netflix.com

Greetings valued Dan's Movie Report readers and lovers of Netflix! At 3am on September 30^th, Luke Cage was unleashed to the Eastern Time Zone! Marvel's latest blast of unrelenting unnerving superhero madness, comes in like a ton of bricks but has the heart to carry a full season. Because this is a really early review, no spoilers, no plot points, nothing just a tone and setting the mood! Basically Luke Cage is the bullet proof anti-hero, or shall we say reluctant hero. Watch for references to other Marvel Netflix shows including one character proclaiming I need to get out of Harlem and go back to Hell's Kitchen where it is safer! Ha, trust me this is a true statement, Elektra aside hahaha!

Seriously, the further the series progresses the more deep we learn of all the characters' motivations for their actions. Early on we are introduced to a central character named 'Pops' and in all actuality the story revolves around his exploits and what happened in the past and how it shapes the future.

The acting from the entire cast is top notch, however I have to make special mention of actress

Simone Missick

She has to mix it up with a boatload of fueled testosterone and absolutely kills it! She plays a detective and is a mesmerizing presence on screen. Fresh off his starring role in Paying Mr Mcgetty R Marcos Taylor gets into some killer scraps and seems to be um tossed out a window. He also gives the show a cool undertone. Of course the lead Mike Colter as Luke gives a performance nuanced and thoughtful, strong and silent, an action fury wrapped in a dichotomous body. Veteran actress Alfre Woodard is awesome, as always, consistent, as the smarmy city suit who has other agendas!

The show is supposed to be dark, and it is. This is Harlem, the streets are a rage, but there is hope with some who want to change. The cool thing about Luke Cage, is that it is a human drama, a study of foibles and consequences. This is an important show for the network, as basically this is a study of a neighborhood, and as a white man, I felt that unlike the typical vertical programming, that Luke Cage not only breaks barriers, but destroys them. This is a show for all! Luke Cage is an every-man hero, a man who wants to atone for his past sins and knows what he has to do to achieve this.

Special mention to the entire stunt crew lead by Master James Lew. I have known Master Lew for over a decade and this is a crowning achievement in action. Fights, bullets, creative uses of car doors etc! Crushing violence, but the violence has a purpose and is not the focus.

Here is to hope that the slogan in the show 'Always Forward' is used and TV and cable and all streaming services will follow this lead and make this type of programming, hard hitting, honest and full of discussion! Marvel's Luke Cage rates a 9 out of 10, this one is worth subscribing to Netflix for!
