Let’s face it–Tom Cruise is getting a little long in the tooth to play in action movies. In the scene early in the film where he is shirtless, he is starting to look like an old man, with doughy skin. Not only the that, but the movie goes on way too long. Fast and Furious 7 had a lot more action and suspense. Still, it was entertaining. At no point was I tempted to walk out.
“Holmes” is playing at the 19th Street Theater in Allentown. That one is worth seeing. Sherlock Holmes has been played by many actors in many permutations, but in this one he is very old, bordering on dementia, yet the movie delivers. Laura Linney is excellent as the house keeper, and the kid is great.
Finally, “Ant Man” is a good popcorn movie. It is funnier than most of the Marvel Comic films, has a good lead, and a satisfying ending. Two thumbs up.
