I'm not surprised, because the trailer is quite interesting. I'll be seeing this for sure.
Very first on-set picture of Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick
First reviews are in for The Night Comes For Us, the latest Indonesian action flick starring Iko Uwais.
"All you need is a girl, a gun, and 30 million gallons of blood.
Bullets, knives, and fists come in handy, too, in Timo Tjahjanto's extremely violent action picture The Night Comes For Us. The violence is brutal and explicit: broken bones burst through the skin, sharp-edged weapons slash their way into and out of body parts, and thousands of bullets thump into and fly out of bodies that take more punishment than is humanly possible.
An early sequence, set in and around a butcher shop, establishes the dramatic tone. The action choreography by Iko Uwais is exquisitely elegant and murderously malevolent, colorfully captured by director Tjahjanto and cinematographer Gunnar Nimpuno. The violence -- the snapping of limbs and the chopping of chests and the smashing of heads and the explosion of blood, oh, the blood -- soars so far beyond reality and into the comic book realm that it's impossible to take seriously.
Given those parameters, the film is a spectacular success."
"The action choreography by Iko Uwais and his team is often astonishing, but it all works thanks to the framework designed and masterminded by Tjahjanto. One can only imagine that the cuts and bruises during production were excessive and extremely painful, especially over the course of long shooting days and repeated takes. For the most part, such brief thoughts about reality are swatted away as one wonders at the marvels of The Night Comes For Us."
"When attending a festival, one must be cautious to use qualifiers and tamper excitement as the festival environment can often amplify your experience and make one prone to grand, sweeping claims. This particular issue need not apply to The Night Comes For Us, the latest action opus to hail from Indonesia. This isn’t simply the most violent film at Fantastic Fest (or of 2018)… it’s the most gory action film I’ve ever seen in my entire life as an action cinema aficionado. And it’s not even close. Truly, writer/director Timo Tjahjanto has crafted an action film for the ages, giving the Indonesia-produced Raid franchise a legitimate run for its money."
"And let me tell you, this film is truly awash in viscera. Every act of violence is shown to have a physical consequence. No body part is spared. It honestly borders on body horror and the squeamish will need to turn their heads. But let’s be frank: The squeamish should never come anywhere close to watching this film. It’s a revelation of gore."
"The Raid films have a place in my heart forever, and have become somewhat of a benchmark for what modern action cinema can achieve. Those films also essentially birthed an industry in Indonesia and put a host of Indonesian talent out there onto the international market for all of us to experience. The Night Comes For Us is the remarkable next level for that group of talent. We’ve already known that several breakout careers were born out of The Raid. But this film reshuffles the deck, doubles down on its inherent Indonesian-ness, and inherits the title as the latest international contender to show the world what action cinema can be. It’s hard to say where this film will rank among the action pantheon, but it’s certainly a new benchmark in rip-roaring, crowd-pleasing, on screen violence."

What a shame, but as the years have gone by I've set myself up to expect this being the inevitable outcome.
Good for Evans. Apostle appears to give him ample opportunity to open up his spectrum of possibilities. As much as I´m probably not going to watch Apostle because it´s too much Horror for me, I feel happy for Evans to be, as it seems, so successful at this differing Approach.
And, from a rather selfish Point of view: If Evans shouldn´t succeed with different Projects over the next few years, he still has a full Concept for The Raid 3 in the drawer ;-).
Confirmed by Sylvester Stallone himself: Rambo 5 will begin filming this Friday.
I wish he'd focus on fast tracking his sequel to POTC.

They manage to botch just about any property they have their hands on. It's impressive in the worst ways.
That is hilarious in the worst possible way. I'm on the fence about the film as is, because the book upon which it is based is rubbish, but it does look stylish. They've made an arse of yet another decent property in terms of just telling a good story though.
This and Fantastic Beasts 2 are my most anticipated films for the rest of the year.
Here is the trailer for the previous film:
I still haven't seen that one. I've seen the Dead Meat: Kill Count episode of it, now I should watch the film itself (should have done it first, but, oh well..).
1st teasers for Holmes & Watson, Hellboy, Vice, Rocketman, X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Ad Astra are all coming in next couple of weeks.
