An everyday man's is kidnapped to make amends for past wrongs he couldn't guess at.
I can see it was trying, but boy is it inconsistent action without real underlying substance.
A remake of Oldboy - (2003 movie)

A boy discovers he has superpowers, uses them for selfish purposes, and makes his life far more complicated.
Straightforward and safe. It has an interesting enough premise, universe, and acting, to carry it well enough. Worth the watch.
Inspired by Jumper - (1992 book), by Steven Gould

A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.
When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.
A remake of RoboCop - (1987 movie)

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.
Not my thing.
Based on A Time to Kill - (1988 book), by John Grisham

A non-superhero girl is out for revenge, boring the audience to tears.
It has Samuel, but not enough of him to make this a watchable film.

Some people with accents drive a carriage through the snow and talk a lot.
Oh god, this was supposed to be good? If it can't get interesting in the first half an hour then why in the fuck should I continue watching?

Kids are trained as secret agents and assassins, but one girl wants a normal life.
This is a cutesy teen movie. Complete bubblegum. Not to be mistaken for a spy movie. That notion would risk heavy offence from so much hollow girlishness.
Maybe if you liked braindead teen flicks you'd be into this. I don't, so I wasn't.
TODO - Watch the special features, there's a lot.

A cop's early investigation into a police fund theft has him killed, leaving his framed hostage-negotiator partner to use the only tool he has available to find the real killer.
A really great movie with a unique topic. Recommended.
