Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am chronicling my weekly exploits from a sun-drenched seat in a brand new apartment, having spent the last week lugging bureaus, beds, and copious electronics out from storage and into our new house. I\u2019m still obviously in the midst of an adjustment period here; I\u2019m not used to sleeping on the same floor where Eevee rests, meaning I\u2019m still getting acquainted with her habit of demanding first In and then Out all throughout the morning. Nonetheless, it feels absolutely wonderful to at last have some space of my own. I frankly hadn\u2019t realized how much day-to-day anxiety I\u2019d been carrying around for the last several months, until I at last had a chance to slump back in my chair with full certainty that this is <\/span>my<\/span><\/i> space, not some room I was being briefly and conditionally granted. And of course, my viewing party has obviously seized this opportunity to get back into our regularly scheduled screenings, so I\u2019ve got a healthy dollop of film reflections to share with you all. Let\u2019s sit back and settle in for the Week in Review!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

First up this week was <\/span>Unleashed<\/b>, a Jet Li feature wherein he plays a young man who was taken in as a child by an ambiguously defined crime lord, who proceeded to raise him as a trained attack dog. Knowing neither language nor friendship, \u201cDanny\u201d lives a life of violence until he happens across a blind pianist named Sam (Morgan Freeman) during the course of another loan extraction. Inspired by Sam\u2019s kindness and the beauty of music, Danny seeks to escape his painful existence, but eventually his past comes to collect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unleashed is a truly odd duck, its crime drama and found family halves never really congealing into a coherent whole. It\u2019s clear that director Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, Fast X) is attempting to echo the poignant contradictions of his mentor Luc Besson (who also wrote this film)\u2019s Leon: The Professional. But the discordant tone presented by Danny\u2019s two lives, as well as the lack of narrative tissue connecting them, means the film is more prone to swerving than escalating, an issue further exacerbated by the underwritten ambiguity of Unleashed\u2019s criminal underworld.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, what we are left with is mostly a series of found family scenes and a series of Jet Li ass-kicking scenes. Fortunately, Jet Li is a machine of violent grace and Morgan Freeman is a bedtime story in human form, so each of the film\u2019s halves recommend themselves well in spite of not really pulling together. I had a reasonable enough time, but would ultimately just recommend Unleashed to Jet Li completionists.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We then checked out <\/span>The Field Guide to Evil<\/b>, a horror anthology with the novel twist of each segment being filmed in and focused on folk horror tales from different countries. Like most such anthologies the end result is somewhat uneven, but with its combination of unique mythologies and generally positive hit rate, it\u2019s still well worth a viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n

With such a loose conceptual mandate binding them, The Field Guide to Evil succeeds in large part because of its variability, and the different aspects of horror each short prioritizes. Some of the shorts offer interesting experiments in form, like Can Evrenol\u2019s practically wordless \u201cThe Childbirth Djinn,\u201d or Peter Strickland\u2019s silent film \u201cCobbler\u2019s Lot.\u201d Some offer regionally grounded spins on classic formulas, like the clearly Lovecraft-indebted \u201cThe Palace of Horrors,\u201d or the uniquely terrifying monster of \u201cThe Sinful Women of Hollfall.\u201d And the best of them, \u201cWhatever Happened to Panagas the Pagan,\u201d plays out like a weird fiction fever dream, maintaining absolute confidence in its winding mythology. In spite of a couple clunkers, the best parts of this collection make it an easy recommendation for any folk horror enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next up was <\/span>Identity<\/b>, an \u201803 thriller loosely based on Agatha Christie\u2019s And Then There Were None, wherein John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, and a variety of other strangers are all trapped at a roadside inn by a storm, after which bodies start promptly piling up. The film is unremarkable in its camera work and somewhat clumsily scripted, making uneven use of a time-jumping conceit to keep its various players\u2019 motives mysterious. It\u2019s basically just a functional murder mystery until the two-thirds point, after which it reveals one of those twists that are pretty much tailor-made to infuriate me. I\u2019m not sure any of you are chomping at the bit to see a middling thriller with no remaining cultural footprint, but nonetheless, spoilers ahead:<\/span><\/p>\n

Yep, it\u2019s all a dream, or in this case the multiple personalities of one serial killer all warring in his head. While completely invalidating all the backstories and relationships that had been built up over the first two thirds, I at least appreciated that this twist was taken in a novel direction: the remaining personalities must work to uncover and destroy the identity that actually committed the host\u2019s serial killing, lest that host be put to death. This concept is indeed absurd, but it\u2019s at least unique, and manages to lend this generally investment-obliterating twist more legs than usual. Not a film I\u2019d actively recommend, but a reasonable background watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alongside our film viewings, I\u2019ve also been hacking my way through the recent <\/span>Tails of Iron<\/b>, wherein you play as the young rat king Redgi, who must defend his kingdom from all manner of encroaching monstrosities. The game falls neatly into the Hollow Knight\/Blasphemous\/Metroidvania genre space I so adore, and has so far proven an altogether satisfying adventure. Of course, I\u2019m an irrepressible critic, so \u201cI\u2019m having a fine time\u201d won\u2019t quite cut it. So what exactly makes Tails of Iron tick?<\/span><\/p>\n

First off, the game has commendably distinctive art design, succeeding in its goal of evoking an illustrated fairy tale brought to life. This aesthetic is further buoyed by the presence of Doug Cockle (The Witcher\u2019s Geralt) as narrator, whose voice lends a gruff air of whimsy and authority to the proceedings. I also appreciate the game\u2019s simple-yet-robust system of blocks, parries, and dodges, which collectively offer a distinctive rhythm for each of the game\u2019s principle enemy types.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the game\u2019s moment-to-moment combat isn\u2019t nearly as clean as the genre\u2019s superior entries. The biggest problem is your character is simply too slow for the enemies you encounter. There is no way to cancel attack animations, and your attacks are significantly slower than the enemies\u2019 ability to transition into must-parry stances, meaning the \u201ccorrect\u201d play pattern is frequently to just wait and block until the enemy uses a move you can respond to with a parry. This, combined with your slow rolls relative to your opponents\u2019 mobility and size, means you can rarely outmaneuver or truly \u201coutplay\u201d your opponents – there is a clear ceiling on your agility, demanding you prioritize the game\u2019s rock-paper-scissors dynamics rather than improving your mechanical control of the character. Compared to something like Hollow Knight or Dead Cells, your movements feel clunky and limited, and many enemy attacks feel like they\u2019re designed for a more mobile character than you actually possess.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, while I quite enjoyed the game\u2019s ability to build an evolving story across a limited physical map, Tails of Iron too often asks you to backtrack and repeat fights against similar opponents, sometimes just for the sake of completing arbitrary bounties. When combined with the game\u2019s refusal to let you accept multiple quests at once, as well as its largely vestigial upgrade economy, it\u2019s hard to avoid the feeling that much of your playtime is dedicated to make-work, rather than the sense of discovery and mastery that make this genre so appealing. The variety of vendors and collectibles initially had me thinking I was in for an upgrade system reminiscent of Rogue Legacy; as it turns out, there\u2019s only about four things you can upgrade, and those are directly tied to your main story progression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the game\u2019s wide array of armors and weapons ensures you always feel like you\u2019re gaining <\/span>something<\/span><\/i> of value, and that there\u2019s just enough room to define your own approach to combat. The difficulty level is also generally satisfying, consistently hitting that sweet spot of bosses that start out feeling impossible and conclude with a sense of total mastery. If not for the clumsy interplay of your non-cancelable attacks and enemies\u2019 must-parry or must-dodge maneuvers, I\u2019d consider it an easy recommendation; as-is, it\u2019s a fine pick for dedicated genre fans, but more casual players should likely start with Hollow Knight, Salt & Sanctuary, or one of the actual Metroids.<\/span><\/p>\n
