3DD!3

Falcon and Manta play Mortal Kombat in a story about virtual infidelity. It makes you wonder what all those that play with female avatars are thinking.

A movie about loving one’s trade, bullying and family traumas. The bit about selling human meat is just a catalyst for a sea change for two wrecks of men. Jensen masterfully steers the story through unexplored alleys to be able to serve up chicken delight in the finale. Lie Kaas and Mikkelsen are simply excellent. It was an accident. You just sold his thigh, dumbass!

It couldn’t have turned out any better with this bunch. The main story of Sub Zero and Scorpion is very well done, the fights are solid, likewise the effects. I was delighted with the appearance of my favourite Kabal.

Maybe if this were a two-hour special of Days of Our Lives, Ava could be seen as a success. Unlikeable characters with illogical motivations wander through a sort of reality that is reminiscent of life and poor actors who probably only received the script at the door when they arrived for the shoot. This cold-blooded assassin constantly emotionally hounded by an old family trauma looks deep into her memories which she supposedly isn’t interested in, because she wants to steal her sister’s husband and disappear? So Common plays a complete jerk and Colin Farrell a slippery HR manager who is just solving a problem with the staff. ‘Cause business rules... The whole of the funny finale when the heroine is on the brink of suicide until a baddie who wants to kill her breaks into her apartment and so she fights for her dear life with him sounds like something from a screenwriter who didn’t read what came before so he could follow on from that. A miserable movie, with pretty good action.

BLM. A pleasant watch. That’s right, it is strange that he got inside and even survived take off, but otherwise this is a lovely, stylish space exercise. The visually captivating space rope climbing sequence is definitely the high point of the movie. The actors are fine - a decent Netflix offering.

Action isn’t everything. I’m willing to turn a blind eye to a very poor story rewritten from bioterrorist threat to non-Covid running around Prague, but not to the amateurish directing. I often didn’t understand how the scenes followed each other, who is where and why they do what they do. Mackie is transformed from the likeable Falcon into an unlikeable moralist and unfortunately the writers change him too quickly, sometime in the gap between the last two episodes. Much more interesting is the genesis of U.S. Agent. Bucky’s transformation into a good guy revolves around someone’s grandpa and a notebook with a list of crossed out names. And the formerly excellent Zemo becomes a comic book caricature again. Better screenwriters, better directors. They also need some help with the action scenes: the actors and special effects can’t do it alone. P.S.: GRC is a really dumb abbreviation.

A rugged action flick with a great Odenkirk. Nobody has no ambitions to impress with the script, Najšuller serves up brutal, grubby action, carried out by a scruffy old wreck beaten down by family life.

What nostalgia. It took me back to those wonder days of my childhood. Excellent observations and surprising information. But it does omit to mention the main benefit of "speed dubbing" which was the amazingly unreal lines that became folklore amongst my peers. I liked the final comments about crazy men. And the admission by the detective is the icing on the cake.

A depressing look into almost all of our futures, this time without robots or an atomic holocaust. We don’t even get a chemical weapons attack or a pandemic, but I found this absolutely blood-chilling. Hopkins’ one-man-show about ageing sets off on an adventure journey that you really don’t want to go on. Full of surprises, confusion, a caustic feeling that everybody has turned against you and keep on hiding your wrist watch. Perfect dialogs, precise directing, beautifully sad music.

Hillcoat’s feeling for image and the naturalistic murders lift Crocodile above mediocre. The confused, rushed decisions and mistakes are excellently acted. While the overall ambiguity is interesting, it does much to wipe out the catharsis needed at the end.
