Passenger (2024)
One episode was too much!
This was allover the place, I wanted to like it but I just got totally bored at it's lack of any hook. It was pretty awful and my wife and i both agreed to a switch off long before the end of episode one. A bad knock off attempt at 'Fargo' which has itself gone downhill. British writers of the note of Jed Mercurio,Jessie Armstrong and a handful of others are few and it shows in this attempt. This guy is an actor and should have had more writers on board to save this from itself.
There were good actors involved but the storyline and scripts failed miserably. They spent a lot of money on everything but the writing and it shows. I and many others who have reviewed this are in agreement about the writing, it's not good.
Charley Varrick (1973)
One of the best 70's films.
I have seen this film many times and rate it one of the best. The story has it all, twists, turns in a way that imo is as good as 'The Sting' or 'Thomas Crown Affair' McQueen or the first one. I would recommend this film as a must see by those who enjoy crime and caper movies.
Walter Mattheau is great and the cast are terrific, Don Seigel directed straight after doing 'Dirty Harry' and it was expected that 'Charley Varrick' would do as well at the Box Office, unfortunately it didn't do great and to me that is a mystery. I have the DVD so I know it's available, do yourselves a favour and see 'Charley Varrick' you won't be disappointed!
A Town Called Malice (2023)
Written by someone who hasn't clue!
They must have spent a fortune making this, it had all the ingredients, good cast, great locations, good camerawork, but all was lost on a terrible script. At first I thought it looked promising as it kicked off well until two sets of the most unlikely scrappers had a fight in scrapyard. It then became a farce that looked more 'Sadlers Wells' than 'Streetfighting man'.
It tries to be 'Sexy Beast' and 'The Business' but fails miserably, it has a slant on the TV series 'Get Shorty' and 'Fargo' but again fails. The script is awful and fast becomes farcical and plain stupid, It is a shame as the actors are good...I watched until Ep 2 and had to switch off.
Intruder (2021)
Talentless, ham acting too painful to watch
I haven't seen anything so bad for years. The script, the acting, the direction was all so bad it soon became farce. How did anyone at Channel 5 allow this rubbish to be aired in prime time, there needs to be a serious board meeting.
I can't write anymore, just to say I advise anybody about to watch this awful waste of time, don't bother.
