I scheduled two screenings for myself on consecutive nights, something I generally try to avoid. The first was Jason Statham’s new film, Shelter, which might also be his old film, The Mechanic, or A Working Man, or The Beekeeper. It’s very hard to tell the difference between most of Statham’s films. The second screening was Send Help, director Sam Raimi’s new film.
I’m not sure why, but I broke my rule about watching previews and watched one for Send Help. My immediate reaction after watching the preview was “Oh, hell yeah.” At that moment, I knew it would be a good idea to balance the very predictable Shelter with what appeared to be a bonkers and unpredictable Send Help. The verdict of my decision? Oh, hell yeah…
