Tag (2018)

Tag is a true story of friends from Spokane, Washington. They have been playing an ongoing game of tag for 30 years.

Upsides
Comedy based on reality = believable characters
The beginning has a great hook

Downsides
Certainly earned the 14A rating - swearing and sexual comments and constant marijuana use
The end is a strange mix of heartfelt emotion and over the top comedy action

Ocean's 8 (2018)

This movie follows Debbie Ocean, Danny Ocean's sister. Debbie gets out of jail and reconnects with her partner. She makes a female crew to pull a heist she thought up over the last 5 years in jail. They will steal a necklace that has not been out of the vault for 50 years. Like the other Ocean movies this includes a revenge plot and detailed plans going wrong.

Downsides
Like the previous movies the character set up was really long
It felt less suspenseful and tense than the previous movies - there was space to breathe even when things seemed to go wrong

Upsides
I liked the way Anne Hathaway played her character
The end was clever
