Who here like to just get in their car and drive. With gas prices being what they are we’ll have to settle for a movie about driving around and enjoying the night out. Let’s look through the old film library and see if we can find something that fits the mood. Well look here, an Al Pacino movie called Cruising(1980).
It turns out this movie is about the act of guys picking up other guys for casual sex. Pacino plays a New York City cop who’s given the option to go undercover. It turns out there’s someone killing random gay guys and dumping their bodies into the river. So they figure the only way to find the killer is to have Pacino pretend to be gay and visit a lot of NYC clubs. He does manage to find the killer at least.
Tim then has Cash Out[2024]. It’s a John Travolta movie where he plays a thief that does elaborate heists. When we join him and his team, it turns out his love interest is an FBI agent who’s been undercover to catch him. Who would have thought that Charlotte from Sex and the City couldn’t be trusted?
Weltall then has Heads of State[2025]. John Cena plays the US President and Idris Elba is the UK Prime Minister. Oh, and Cena is a meathead. Really flexing the acting chops there, John boy. They get targeted for reasons that don’t matter by a foreign adversary that’s someone that won’t offend the movie going foreign countries. We would mention that there’s hijinks but they aren’t interesting or wacky.
