Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Stronger (2017)







Directed by: David Gordon Green

Written by: John Pollono, Jeff Bauman (novel), & Bret Witter (novel)

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal & Tatiana Maslany





 After the explosion from the Boston bombing, Jeff (Gyllenhaal) has to start getting used to life without his legs.  He goes through sporadic mood episodes and pretty much loses his motivation to live, but once he finds that he's a hero, he gets the courage to live life to its fullest.

It was okay.  I thought there'd be more about the actual bombing, but it mostly reflected his personal experience.  Gyllenhaal's performance was great and real, but I wouldn't see this film again.  It just wasn't my kind of film.

2 popcorns.
