An agent’s god-daughter is kidnapped under political circumstances, and complexities necessitate him forming his own team to rescue her.
Quite a good movie. Excellent pacing and music.

A Swedish intelligence agent tracks a missing shipment of arms, uncovering a link to a mercenary organization.
Exceptional. This is not James Bond-style, but is a proper adult movie.
- Properly titled: Hamilton: In the Interest of the Nation
- The Swedish title is: Hamilton: I nationens intresse

A NEET dies but finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, where he grows into with the competence and usefulness that he ought to have been working for in his previous life.
Starts strongly, but really spirals down into pulp crap. Still perfectly watchable overall. Recommended even for people who don’t like this sort of entertainment but like the sword-and-sorcery topic in general.
Watched at the end of 2022; no notes were taken.

A veteran mercenary is double-crossed and finds himself blacklisted into becoming a general in hell’s army.
This is a very high low-budget movie. It’s over-the-top, corny but only almost-fun. Some of the effects are amazing, but some are so damned bad I can’t imagine how they thought this could be anything more than a middling success. From a writing perspective, it’s not bad moment-to-moment, but the overall plot is a bit stupid.
This has nothing going for it but the incredible acting of a clown.

A boy that’s beaten up a lot decides that murder is both the best revenge and career. Wait, it’s about the man though. Well there’s narration so don’t worry he’s never in any danger.
Kinda funny and kinda interesting sometimes, but god damn does it drag on; it could have been done much better, and done better quite easily too.

See also The Mechanic (1972 / 2011) for something more serious.

Two worlds are connected and one of the worlds has a lot of monsters who somehow live without anything to eat and also are persistent assholes.
The actual movie starts two thirds in, and there are so many terrible writing decisions; oh god it’s so bad.
