Tore (2023)
Excellent writing and performances from a refreshingly new talent
Lots of newer movies and series about a central character being homosexual have got it so wrong because they use the protagonists sexuality and/or how they're perceived and treated because of it as the main challenge to overcome. Here the main character just happens to be homosexual and the angst and personal issues have almost nothing to do with that. This refreshing perspective on a flawed character who just happens to be gay is exciting to watch and the story grips you from episode one until the release in the final moments of the last episode. The performers are top notch and especially by the actor who plays protagonist who also happens to be the writer and you can't help but wonder how personal the story is to them. Every character is relatable and situations move from the deeply tragic to comic with such ease and deftness one has to credit the director/s and the technical team for bringing that to the screen. Bravo! Ten stars!!!

"Pigs. Swine Flu. Not Good!"
That was the line that did it for me! Not to mention other directorial flaws... Continuity lapses... horrible horrible... I was dragged in to the movie by a friend and haven't stopped cursing him ... another friend said her boyfriend fell asleep ...Shia as usual cannot act... Seems the director fell asleep and let the Special FX guys take over...the entire movie simply drags and you just want it to get over... why was it 2 hours plus??? The supporting cast was equally horrible ... the mumbo jumbo about a matrix and shia being "destined" to be a savior painfully makes you baulk at the ridiculous and amateurish unimaginative thoughtless storyline with a serious Lord of the Rings hangover... Skip it...
