Adding a music video like this is way outside the bounds of this movie review blog. However, in light of the horrendous and heart breaking death of 9 people in a Helicopter crash, including Kobe Bryant and his daughter on the same day as this Grammy telecast; I thought that adding this emotional song that Camila sang to her own father was something that I had to include in this website.

The new movie “The Rhythm Section”, invokes many questions from any viewer. Is this movie some kind of a back ended attempt to remake the Bridge Fonda film, “Point of No Return”, from 1993 – which is a much better movie? Did any of the 3 well known actors who agreed to appear in this movie, Blake Lively, Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown also read the script? Why would anyone decide to name this convoluted and pretty bad story, The Rhythm Section? This title makes even less sense than the decision to make this movie in the first place.

The Logline for this story is, a young woman loses her entire family in plane crash, then finds out through an self employed journalist that there was a bomb planted on their plane by a terrorist.  Unfortunately the disjointed story that follows jumps from this down and out woman, who is working as a hooker to running into this journalist, to suddenly – without any explanation, being trained by some secret agent, played by Jude Law.

This entire story was very poorly told, and not only does not make much sense, but was boring in way too many places.  I was surprised to see the great actor Sterling K. Brown from “This Is Us” in this bad movie because this makes about 4 films in a row where he has tried to parlay his television success into film. At this rate, after making four bad movies in a row, he should probably just stay an outstanding television actor.

I agree with the very low ratings of 33% for The Rhythm Section that amounts to another very good example of “January Junk”.  This movie should be skipped.

As with Guy Richie movies I have seen in the past, the story of “The Gentlemen” is told using a jumbled flashback way that always includes summation scenes at the end that try to explain what happened previously. I personally find movies that try and tell stories using methods like this very annoying. Its one thing to be different good, and another thing to be different bad. If a story cannot be told in a uniform, understandable and mostly sequential way, then there is not a story to tell in the first place. The only production I find worse than a Guy Richie movie is a Micheal Bay movie, especially if it is a Transformer film.

The only memorable thing about this bad movie is within the disgusting dialogue that included the constant and abusive use of the “C” word. What was the point of using a word like this so often, given that there was so much to dislike with the story.

The Rotten Tomatoes average review of 72% is way off and my rating is a very low 30%. This one should be missed.
