Under Fire is pretty good

 I liked Under Fire. This is an action movie with Dylan Sprouse and Mason Gooding. They are both federal agents but they don't know the other one is a federal agent. After a drug deal in Mexico gone wrong, they get pinned down by a sniper. I liked this. Sprouse and Gooding were in Aftermath together. That was good too. That is Netflix if you haven't seen it.  It moves at a good pace. Sprouse and Gooding are likeable and I thought the action was well done.  I think this will be worth re-watching. If this later pops up a few months later on Amazon Prime or Netflix, it is worth checking out. Yes I bought a digital copy  but I like low budget or direct to video action movies a lot. 

Trouble Man is good

 Michael Jai White stars and directs this low budget action movie.  It is good. Maybe Diablo is better but I really liked Diablo.  He plays a private eye (Jaxen) who is looking for a singer. The record executive (Orlando Jones) who hired him might not be telling everything. Method Man co-stars. He was fun.  I think I have seen him in other movies and TV shows. At the same time as the investigation, Jaxon is reconnecting with an old flame Gina. (Or maybe he wishes Gina was an old flame.) Gina is played by Michael Jai White's real life wife Gillian, which is a nice touch. It was nice to see Orlando Jones again. I thought the fight scenes were good. It did not have too much humor and I liked Method Man's character.  I might like to see White and Method Man re-team. I might watch it again.
