Passenger (2024)
Enjoyed it, but the ending?????
8 for the series up to the final minutes of the last episode. 1 for the ending. Average 4.5.
Having watched the boxed set I was so disappointed with the American-style non-ending. In other words "let's not end this series. Let's hope we get a second series commissioned". Or maybe "we don't really know how to end this. Let's hope we come up with something before the next series". I hate this about the interminable American series that leave completely in the air when the series isn't recommissioned.
So let's talk through the story. Maverick outsider DI investigates a murder, but is thwarted by her superior who just wants to win a best kept village competition (spoiler they get 3/10 and don't win - something to do with grass verges). The DI is closing in on what's happening when her two intrepid colleagues are trapped in the basement of a blazing bread factory with a spooky banging door. Will they escape. Will the DI save the day.
I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TERRIBLE AMERICAN STYLE SERIES THAT NEVER ENDS ALWAYS WITH A "WAIT FOR THE NEXT SERIES IF IT'S EVER COMMISSIONED" AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH .
Watch this and weep.
DI Ray (2022)
Wasted opportunity
This had potential for a good drama on the challenges faced by British Asian women in the Police. It falls really flat. I've admired the cast in other series, and the script is OK, it's just so drawn out and boring. Maybe it needs editing to a 90 minute pne-off.
Killing Eve: Hello, Losers (2022)
Well what a bad fourth series
And it started so well with the first three series. But it finished with everyone looking like they were strolling through everything. It doesn't take away from the magnificence of the early series though.
The Ipcress File (2022)
This is so boring
It's so monotonous like a six hour opera all on one droning note. I've given 3* because I like some of the actors. Let's hope the leads get something better to get their teeth into soon.
A Model Daughter: The Killing of Caroline Byrne (2009)
The convicted man was later found innocent on appeal
In 2012 (3 years after the film) the convicted man was found not guilty and released. He subsequently sued and won (out of court) media outlets. This film gives such an impression of his guilt. Should it be shown?
F (2010)
Not as bad as other reviewers say
Most of the previous reviews I've read seem to mark F lowly because it isn't as much of a gore-fest as they wanted. It clearly isn't this type of movie.
This is a good quality small budget thriller. The tension builds and doesn't release, with some extremely threatening unidentified antagonists.
My main advice to any potential viewer is
If you want gore - stay away. If gore is your main movie-going motivation there isn't much for you.
If, however, you want a good hour and a half of tension this look this movie up.
