Hello, Review-Verse readers. ‘By Any Mean’ official release poster. Courtesy of Paramount Pictures and IMDb.com. Today, I’m going to be discussing By Any Means starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg . At first, I thought it was a buddy cop comedy starring the two, but it’s actually a historical crime drama taking place in 1966 Mississippi.  Mark Wahlberg as Gregory Scarpa and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as FBI Special Agent Wayne Strider in ‘By Any Means.’ Courtesy of Paramount Pictures and IMDb.com.

While many may not agree with Michael Bay's work, I found T ransformers: The Last Knight is actually an amazing summer action film. I think of this as a Mark Wahlberg movie for everyone to see this month! It has its twists and turns, but it'll knock you out of your seat and into excitement! The Last Knight basically continues with more new additions to the cast, and resumes the story that came at the end of Age of Extinction.  Optimus Prime heads into space to find whatever is left of the Autobots' history, while a new threat emerges on Earth yet again, and only a truce between the humans and robots can save the planet. If you want stylized action, an excellent battle over good vs. evil, and just a good reason to get out of the house, this might by the film for you.
