Resistance (2011)
A very thin plot
A really disappointing film. Adding 40/50 minutes of people staring in silence at someone or at something doesn't make a film poetic, gentle and sensitive, it's just a trick to water down the screenplay and save a lot of money for a low-budget film. The screenplay, by the way, is quite ordinary and unconvincing. In fact the action and the dialogues are so rare here, that almost all of them, the essential ones at least, are in the trailer. It's even funny to think that the film is practically the trailer plus silence and some beautiful views of the welsh mountains. This could be easily a 10-15 minutes short film without losing anything of the plot.
Last Resort (2012)
Couldn't watch the whole series
Having seen the trailer, I already knew I shouldn't have expected a realistic military or geopolitical TV series. But the idea seemed OK and could have led to an entertaining plot. Instead there are so many gaps in the plot and unexplainable characters' behaviors that this show becomes unwatchable. Just one example: the sub captain start the first episodes as an honorable man, with great common sense. In fact, sensing something is going wrong, he refuse to annihilate most of Pakistan's population. 20 minutes later though, he's a self proclaimed dictator capable of detonate a nuclear warhead 200 miles from Washington DC (spreading radiations generously BTW). And just in the first episodes there are more of these things. Just too much...
