6:55 am
relentless, just keeps like just keeps going and i will say that the director to put this lightly i feel like he just grabs you and pulls you into the screen and just does not let you go for the two hours. it is an insane ride based around sound effects and the cinematography is granny and dark. this film will shock you beyond belief. i gave it a 4.5 out of five. people did walk out of the film. people get so shocked and blown away by what they're watching on screen they can't handle it. it is very intense. a 4.5 out of five. i loved it. just know going in you will be shocked. >> all right kevin one more to quickly review for us. >> yeah, american assassin the new film starring dylan o'brien and michael keaton about a counter terrorism agent who is trying to get revenge
6:56 am
brutally murdered by a terrorist. he teams up with michael keaton to try to take down the terrorists played by taylor kitsch. it has good performances but over all i felt the action scenarios were a bit over the top and ridiculous, bad cgi. i wish the plot was a little bit better but i'll be back at 8:47 to give more details on these reviews and more from lego land here. back to you guys in the studio. >> all right, kev. catch a quick catnap before we see see you next. >> let's go to mike thomas and talk weather. >> good morning to you. we are not tracking too much this morning which is nice. it's a welcome break. countcounting down to fall. one week from today fall will officially begin and we'll change seasons from summer to fall. tropical storm josé, winds of 70 miles an hour getting awfully companies in its track to kind of the eastern seaboard here so we'll keep an eye, we'll let you know if any track changes there. weekend generally nice and
