When you watch a Jason Stratham movie, you basically know what you are getting. Little plot, lots of action, killing, and bone crushing is pretty much a guarantee. There are no surprises in this movie, and it is easy to see what is coming. Nothing out of the ordinary for Stratham. Fun to watch if you don't want to think about what might or might not happen, and want a halfway decent action movie.

This was a pretty bad movie overall. I get that it is meant to be an over the top stupid comedy, but there were far too funny scenes. The whole bromance comedy was ridiculous, and it was the same old dumb lame punchlines trying to be funny, but badly failing at it. There were a few parts where I found myself slightly chuckling, but Jonah Hill is so pathetic and bad in this movie. Channing Tatum was almost as bad, but not quite. Hopefully this will be the end of this series, and even if there is a 23rd jump street, I won't be watching.

Michael Keaton, as Birdman, is brilliant in this dark comedy movie. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu takes a big risk to be different in a super hero movie, and it pays off. When you think the movie is getting predictable, it changes gears in his constant struggle to put on a great Broadway play, and balance with his family.

This was a great cast of characters with an excellent story line. James Gandolfini and Tom Hardy were awesome in this movie. The story tugged at my heartstrings, while hoping Saginsowski would go ballistic and start his revenge plot. It actually played out well showing patience, letting the plot thicken, and leading into the finale. I really enjoyed watching this flick,
