Too Old to Die Young (2019)
Have you ever wished a cologne commercial was 15 hours long?
The tags say CRIME DRAMA and THRILLER. The first 2 tags are accurate, the last one is definitely not.
Beautifully shot with cool lighting, very artistic, but the director loves long pauses.
I mean , he LOVES them. He loves them way past the point of highlighting tension. He'll make you wonder if your wifi went down.
The story is interesting enough, but it might not keep you watching because the pace is excruciating.
The acting is "probably" good, but the director likely told the cast, "Pretend you have to tell a kid their puppy died, but you want to keep them calm."
I did watch the whole thing, because the characters are interesting and there are talented actors you've seen in other things.
You might want to go watch those other things again, instead of watching Too Old to Die Young.

I can forgive the bear for eating these people
I can't forgive the bear for looking like that. It's comically bad, and really, that's the deal breaker. The acting is OK and the film is shot well, but the "bear" is so bad it's distracting. You don't see the bear for quite a while and usually that's the bad part of a horror movie, but not this time.
Everything else about this movie works well enough, you could have had a good time. The cinematography is solid, the scenery is good, the action moves along at a decent pace. There is no plot to speak of, but we don't really need one for a creature feature.
It's that awful bear, it ate all those people and it will eat ninety minutes of your life.
Badland (2019)
If the Hallmark channel asked a 12 yr old to write a western
Yikes pard. The acting is more brutally wooden than Neegan's baseball bat.
The "story" is basically every cliché you can think up.
Sadly it has a few really talented actors you probably like, and they are stuck in this tumbleweed of a movie.
Since it blows anyway, just let it blow away.
