Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Deserves An Oscar - If Oscars Were Worthwhile Today
1 May 2024
Hollowwood celebrates all the wrong things, that's for sure. Here my expectations were completely turned around. No, space aliens didn't interrupt any prison yards and nobody displayed any superpowers ... except in the superb treat of story, writing and performance.

"Con tries to go straight, insert yada, yada, yada." No need to rinse and repeat that trope but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been great in other things so PERHAPS a good choice to run in the background? Not if you invest in a fraction of this story which unfolds without pace bogging down. You'll get the reassuring sense you're in for a good show right away. Well done everybody.
