The Good Liar (2019)
A decent idea that could have been something special
Short review. Brilliant actors wasted on a plot that was obvious from the first minute. Spent the rest of the picture telling myself that the ending could not be what it indeed turned out to be. Came up with at least five better plot twists than the writers did. Still, a treat to see the two older stars fill up the screen.
The Great White Hype (1996)
A Real Boxing Satire that Pulls No Comedy Punches
All I'm going say about "The Great White Hype" is that Peter Berg as "Irish" Terry Conklin is a championship comedic performance. If the sight of him entering the ring with a dancing leprechaun doesn't make you laugh out loud, you really aren't capable of appreciating what a wonderful send up this movie is. Every hilarious scene has an exact parallel to the insanity of professional boxing. No small feat to make satire out of something that is already satire.
