Top Dog (2014)
It's a remake, but not as we know it
Quite a good film in its own right. However, I can't help thinking it's the "The Long Good Friday" remake. The problem is that it is nowhere near as good. It's a shame really as it isn't a bad effort
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018)
Oh dear
Could have been great but the story was so boring. Also you often don't really have a choice as you just keep getting sent in a loop until you make the "right" choice to move the film forward. Kudos to Netflix for making an attempt, but could have been so much better.
Mowgli (2018)
Should have been great
The specials effects are, mostly, amazing, if not incredible,but every now and then they look a little weak. The biggest problem is the plot, it wanders around aimlessly and fails to keep interest alive. It even manages to become stupid and pointless. It is nothing like the original story. I feel sorry for all those involved that they could not see the flaws in the film and the reviewers who have given it a high score are either blind or have chosen to ignore its flaws.

Well worth watching
Although the story sometimes seems disjointed, this is because there are flashbacks put in at odd places. But it all makes sense. This is worthy of binge watching but I would suggest something light every couple of episodes. It can be a little heavy, but it never bores. This isn't an action movie, it plods along at a steady pace. The characters evolve steadily as does the storyline. It needs to be watched carefully and not just glanced at.
