The Tourist (2022)
Illogical twists of script and unconvincing acting
A mix of elements reminiscent of Bourne, Duel, Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks and a lot more, but merely bleak echoes, meagre acting, the scene timings do not correspond well with each other, the script is is full of illogical twists, the characters are monotonous (the main character's painful expression is nearly the same through 6 episodes) and not convincing (e.g. Talking as if sitting cozily a quiet lounge while actually bleeding to death), and often the figures are standing still in the middle of a crucial action scene (e.g. End 5th start 6th episodes) as if they don't know their text or wait for the others to do something. Very weird. The 1st 2 episodes were at least interesting enough to watch and made me curious, but the rest was a waist of time. Several of the reviewers speak of comedy. This bewilders me. Comedy? Am I reviewing a different series? I don't think it's a comedy, nor do I think the director meant it to be one. Or were all the bad and weak parts that I noticed meant as... jokes? Well, in that case I apparently didn't get it.
Bowie: The Man Who Changed the World (2016)
Superficial and done 10 times better by others
What a strange cheap 'documentary', which even amongst high school products would not be noticed. I have the feeling that I saw and heard every single thing in this work better and more elaborated, better illustrated and with the tight music by others elsewhere. Don't watch it! I guess it was to expensive to add really interesting material. Or perhaps the makers just copy/pasted copyright free stuff from elsewhere. I hsve to admit that I stopped at 30 minutes. I couldn't bare it anymore, as a 63 year old Bowie fan. The title is also pretty ridiculous, a cheap play on one of his record titles. He did change rock music and perhaps several element if youth fashion and gender issues, but not the world.
