I was really surprised by how the movie unfolded! What initially seemed like a simple accident quickly became something much bigger and more complex than anyone realized. While the main story follows the real bad guy and his plans on the island, I actually found myself more invested in the characters and how they changed throughout the film. Their personal journeys were the most captivating part, honestly.

Bruce Springsteen is at his best when his music has a clear meaning. His 2003 album, The Rising, powerfully channeled the energy of the E Street Band – reuniting them after twenty years – to reflect on the September 11th attacks.

Recently, there have been online efforts to either replace Bad Bunny or criticize him for simply enjoying a baseball game. But now, a new rumor suggests another big artist might join him on stage. I’d love to see it happen – I’m really hoping Cardi B performs with Bad Bunny!

Honestly, the success of this film wasn’t a huge shock to me. It started a little slowly on Netflix, but quickly became a phenomenon – kids loved it, parents enjoyed it, and even the most dedicated animation fans were impressed. It really took off, boosted by its catchy K-pop soundtrack and a story that anyone could connect with. I even heard James Cameron – yes, the James Cameron – was streaming it! Beyond the views, it seems like this film might have actually helped Netflix and movie theaters start to become friends again, thanks to those fun sing-along versions in cinemas.

The film immediately draws you in with a shocking injustice. Samuel Murphy (Ethan Hawke), a hardworking widower, and his young daughter, Penny, are unexpectedly evicted and then harassed by police while searching for a new home. Tragically, Penny is taken into custody, and Murphy is sent to a harsh work camp run by Warden Clancy (Russell Crowe), a man who loves baseball but enjoys exerting control. Murphy, a skilled mechanic and war veteran, quickly impresses Clancy with his strength and work ethic. He has six months left on his sentence, but Penny will become a ward of the state in just one month. Seeing Murphy’s situation, Clancy makes him an offer: transport three inmates and a shipment of gold across 50 miles of dangerous terrain, and Clancy will secure his immediate release. But if even one gold bar is lost, both Murphy and the inmates will face deadly consequences.
