The Gorge

So lets start off by saying that this movie isn't deep. It's not going to win awards. It isn't John Wick. Honestly, it falls more into the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness type movie. Which means that there are some good scenes, but not a lot going on with it which is okay.

Synopsis

Two top snipers are instructed to stand opposite guard post to ensure that the other doesn't do anything, but that isn't all they are there to do.

Review

What is good about this movie, actually is the tactics and fighting. The gunplay is good, the movement from Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy are outstanding. The classic tactics from the bad guys are really good too. You have horse riders who lasso and drag people. It’s good. What bothers me is that the guard post are around 600 m apart supposedly, and they are using an AR15 (technically possible) and an AK47 variant (Not a chance) to shoot bottles off each other's side. They would have been more inclined to shoot each other than the bottles.

The story isn’t bad. Very on par for the typically multinational government contractor with CIA ties type deal. I am really like the lovecraftian horror depiction of the bad guys. They looked great and felt right for the world. That’s for sure.

My Rating

Like I said, this movie isn’t going to win awards, however it is really entertaining. Just enjoy it for what it is and don’t poke in the dark. Miles and Anya do a great job together, and I really believe their chemistry. All things considered, I’m giving this an 8.

Parental Rating

I am not sure how to rate this movie for them. I don't remember a LOT of language, but it had to be there. It is only rated PG-13 so if there is an F-bomb, there would only be one. There is some man butt, and the beginning of a sex scene, but it doesn't show anything. Speaking that the only violence you see is against monsters. All of that there, I am going to say approved by Dad and rejected by Mom.
