No reviews or social media postings on Baltasar Kormakur‘s Everest (Universal, 9.18) until the wee hours of September 2nd, but I can at least say that before last night I was convinced that Kormakur was more or less the new Renny Harlin. Kormakur’s Contraband and 2 Guns, a pair of negligible, jizz-whizz Mark Wahlberg actioners, were enough to persuade anyone of this hypothesis. I’m not saying anything about anything, but it’s a major knockout feeling and an eye-opener when a guy you’ve more or less written off suddenly conveys that he has a lot more in his quiver.
