This Town (2024)
It's Knight at his best.
This is the writing of Steven Knight at his very best. He captures the essence Thatchers 1980's Britain to the T. You can spot little links to Blinders here and there "company" and poetry are just two. The cast are perfect in this love letter to 1980's West Midlands, the music and culture are all there. It shows that Britain has moved on to be a better place to live even if we sometimes think it's not! So enjoy a slice of 80's Britain and the fantastic music this country gave the world. One final point I'm not sure how the drama will be viewed outside of the UK it's very much a British drama for a British audience.
Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)
It's just so bad!
The original TV series was brilliant but this Netflix film has just lost the plot and is a million miles away from the TV series. It's clear they are planning more films but please don't bother!! It's also clear this is aimed at a younger audience and an American one at that. The main problems are poor story and screenplay. Acting average, ending stupid, ideas stupid (eg Luther walking in the North pole with just his overcoat!) Some of the cinematography is good but not much else! I can only assume that some studio executive was leaning over Neil Cross's shoulder while he was writing this because he would never write for TV like this! So stick to the TV series re-runs and give this film a wide berth!
Black Narcissus (2020)
Dull
Don't bother is slow and boring. A total waste of time and money.
Greed (2019)
The film is just ok but the message is very important!
The plot (!) is not very good the story poor but the message at the heart is very important so it's a film which everyone who buys fast fashion should watch.
Filth (2013)
Just Ok nothing more
It's ok that's about it really. It's funny in places and sad in places. The film never really grips you the story is poorly told at times but the actors do a good job with what there working with. Nothing more to say it's just ok.
The Rhythm Section (2020)
Excellent film of it's type.
Not sure what the poor reviews about its a good film with a solid story and good cast. Blake Lively is excellent well worth a view if you like revenge type drama. I enjoyed so much would love to see a second film, almost a female Bond!
