Mr. Brooks (2007)
Surprisingly good film
Just came across this on HBO. Never heard of it before. It was surprisingly good, and never a dull moment. A quality thriller, worth the watch. Kevin Costner is great as the main character. Demi Moore is pretty good as the lead defective as well. Some good twists and turns, you get a few surprises towards the end, but they're good all in all.
In order for it to be better it should've had more suspense, more thrill sort of. The daughter, who ends up being quite an important character for the plot, should have had a more thorough storyline herself. That would've made the movie a bit longer, as it's edited quite well, but it would actually have made the movie better, despite it being 2 hours long in the first place.
Nobody (2021)
I love Better Call Saul and BB... But 7.4 is too high
This is an okay 6/10 Saturday night action movie. Decent storyline, good action sequences, but unmemorable. Bob Odenkirk is basically Saul all throughout the film. Nothing bad about that, but nothing special either.
Snabba cash (2021)
Honestly probably around a 7/10 but...
... there's so many blatantly racist reviews here giving this a 1 or 2 star that it deserves a 10 star just to balance it out. All in all the script is good, acting varies, but is overall good and the cinematography is excellent. Last but not least it's high paced and exciting, which a TV series like this should be.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
Disappointing
The original Borat film for a masterpiece. Sacha Baron Cohen is, to me, the best comedian of his generation along with Dave Chappelle. The problem with this sequal was that it was very far between the hilarous moments. Yes, a lot of it was funny in the case that it could make you smile a little, but there was only like one or two scenes that made you burst out in laughter. In comparison, the first Borat film was completely hilarious all throughout. I had quite big expectations for this sequel, and when the closing credits came up I just sat there feeling oddly disappointed. Obviously a must watch for many reasons, but don't expect a masterpiece, because it isn't one.
Når støvet har lagt sig (2020)
This deserves a way higher rating than it has
A danish crime/drama centering around a presumed terror attack in Copenhagen, this drama clearly lends inspiration from the actual attacks in Paris on Nov 13 2015 and in Norway on July 22 2011. Still, it is very relevant as it maintains its significance while interpreting the effects of the attack on the people to a contemporary Danish point of view. Most of the series focuses on the different characters with relevance to the actual terror attack (victims, perpetrators and relatives). The drama is well told, even though some of the episodes might be a little too stretched out. Still, this is some of the best contemporary crime/drama I've seen from Denmark in a while, and it's a solid 9.5/10.
