An old fashioned yarn that keeps you wondering where this is heading. Tense and the characters are real. I thoroughly enjoyed it as it has been a long time that I have not seen a story line that was not predictable and obvious from the second episode. It may have felt slow at times but that added to the plot along with the various characters that popped up. The lead was well played and the supporting cast was excellent. The detective with his flaws was very likeable and almost a new age "Poirot". Would be nice to develop a series with him as a lead. Would recommend this and you will not regret especially the ending.

Fatale
(II) (2020)
Rubbish
18 September 2021
There seems to be something about movies in 2021, they seem to lack good script, good cinematography and good acting. This is movie is not exception. Very poor script, neither the main two actors nor the supporting actors were convincing and felt like two dimensional cardboard characters. One did not manage to have empathy for the characters. The only thing Fatale about this movie is not the title but the whole rubbish of a movie.
Saving Paradise
(2021)
Poor movie poor script poor characters
12 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is meant to be a feel good movie but unfortunately fails to get there. The main characters are wooden and unsympathetic the plot classic but rather limpid. Seemed like a cheap Hallmark movie and frankly a waste of time.
Piranhas
(2019)
Very Realistic
1 September 2021
A very realistic film, nice pace, down to earth with no flashy actions. Well acted and one can feel for the situation these youngsters are in and what they need to do to just survive. A long road to perdition eventually, unfortunately.

Unsung Heroes
9 August 2021
Did not realise the extent to which people volunteered to help those needing to get out of the vicious circle they find themselves in. True unsung heroes when the easy way would have been to just get on with life without bothering. Well acted.

Good Plot Good Actors but better enunciation needed
23 March 2021
The plot was good and the actors as well. This could be a good theatre piece. The pity, in the dialogue is the lack of clarity of speech by the actors who sometimes mumble their words. If this were a theatre play the actors enunciation would have needed to be a lot clearer and the public would have enjoyed it even more. The same can be said for the movie. Directors please stop the actors from mumbling!
Mumbling gets you a 5 otherwise an 8 would have been appropriate.
Man in Room 301
(2019)
Good watch
19 March 2021
Makes a real change from the other dramas that are so predictable. This is a slow burner that will come to light, stay close and pay attention. Couple of nice twists, low key 'à la Finland' but eventually wooosh it comes together nicely.
Airliner Sky Battle
(2020)
Unrealistic movie
6 December 2020
The problem with airplane movies is that although looks good there is a clear lack of knowledge by the film makers of the physics of aerodynamics. Frankly not real and even not good fiction. I was hoping that some sense would eventually prevail but nothing. Down to the detail of two engine throttles for a four engined aircraft !!
Truth Be Told
(2019–2023)
Too long
5 December 2020
Interesting plot with a late twist. The script needed to be much tighter. Some of the subplots were unnecessary and frankly boring, it took away from the main plot or watered it down. It felt like they were trying to make a 4 episodes plot into 8 episodes. Pity.
Contagion
(2011)
Too close to reality
21 April 2020
Well written movie and well researched. This movie was made in 2011 and now 9 years later we are talking real life 'social distancing' and how a virus can spread. Interesting how it shows the contagion spreading and the end is chilling. Well done.
The Trial
(2019– )
Interesting Plot
21 April 2020
A change from the usual US courtroom dramas. Interesting to see the Italian justice system in play. Not a binge watch type but must admit that watched the last 3 episodes and did not feel the time as the ending is very good and the whole story is tied up quite neatly.
Good and very enjoyable watch.
Good and very enjoyable watch.
The Good Liar
(2019)
Excellent Cat & Mouse
6 April 2020
Excellent acting by both Dame Helen and Sir Ian. Plot is good and the end very interesting and unexpected. Well worth watching as it is rare nowadays to watch a movie that has a good script good actors and a good plot.
