Star Wars: The Force Awakens *Spoiler Free Review*

I went to the midnight launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and all though I'm not a die hard SW fan, I absolutely loved it. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a brilliant, fun, spectacular film. A definite must watch! I rate this film 9/10, 5 stars.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens starring Harrison Ford (Blade Runner), Oscar Isaac (Ex Machina), Adam Driver (Hungry Hearts), Daisy Ridley (Scrawl), John Boyega (Attack the Block), and Mark Hamill (Kingsman: Secret Service) is an instant classic! A family friendly, action packed and filled with sci-fi wonder. Harrison Ford reprises his role as Han Solo the infamous smuggler with his best friend, and co-pilot Chewbacca and delivers an amazing and charasmatic performance once more. New to the franchise; Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver and John Boyega set their feet firmly into the ground with their characters; Poe Dameron, Rey, Kylo Renn and Finn as they set about making the start of their journey into the new trilogy.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an emotional roller coaster that will leave you craving for more, the film is packed with classy humour, wondrous special effects and glorious battle scenes that only JJ Abrams could produce. The film has a few plot twists that will surprise you and leave you seconding guessing, The pacing for the films is mostly brilliant, but a few scenes and reveals could have been handled better creating more suspense and tension, apart from this small detail the film was flawless, brilliantly setting up for the next to come. A brilliant film for those die hard fans and those not alike.

The force is strong with this one.

Sicario *Spoiler Free* Review.

Sicario is a gritty, dark, brutal and brilliant film, quite possibly the a contender for the best film of the year, I award Sicario 5 Stars and 9/10.

Sicario starring Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow, Looper), Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men, Everest), and Benicio del Toro (The Usual Suspects, Savages) is a crime, action, and drama film directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners - director). Sicario beautifully captures the harsh reality for Mexico and the wars between the cartels and law enforcement agencies, Emily Blunt really delivers an outstanding and compassionate performance of Kate Macer, an FBI agent who specialises in escalated cartel activity who is enlisted by higher members of the US government to aid the efforts against the cartels. Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro deliver stunning performances, as the story unfolds and Kate delves deeper down the rabbit hole, dark secrets are revealed, who is really friend and who is really foe?

Sicaro holds some of the best cinematography of the year and a under-the skin feel of brutality, capturing suspense, thrills and drama all equally as much leaving the water captivated and eager for more. The film contains several plot twists and a brilliant script. I would highly recommend Sicario, a brilliant film.
