BORDERLANDS (Released to Theaters USA 2024)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì  Borderlands—fun, funny, splashed with comedic dialogue, terrific cast—backs itself with a better than usual superhero story. The computer game, Borderlands, provides the direction for this film and, for once, does not fail in its intent to entertain well as many computer game-themed movies do. Jack Black's dialogue lines are well-paced, original, and beautifully timed. Some of the action scenes are a little artificial, but it does not hinder the value of the watch. It's sweet to see Cate Blanchette and Jamie Lee Curtis as part of the cast.   Film Poster Courtesy of IMDb Storyline  A female bounty hunter is hired by a man to find his daughter and bring her back to him, and the wild ride begins.  Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Eli Roth for directing effort.
