V for Vendetta (2005)
Amazingly clever
I see tons of reviews going over one version of the movie that is fluttered in front of the audience like a bull fighter would do with a piece of red cloth all while hiding his true weapon. Shockingly this is not (only) about a fight against tyranny. It is about relinquishing your freedom on an artificial fear. Fear fabricated, fanned via media, profitable, and in the end generating the tyranny. It is funny, as the movie is 15 years ahead of time. Alas, for its true story the audience needs to pay attention, let aside the so easy to see and follow surface. For me, even at its time, this was a masterpiece. On par with so many gems hidden in other movies that will masquerade as action movies just to have again a hidden clever side (Winter Soldier..)

Goes from ok to a total mess
I am sorry. First season was watchable, and albeit started to look like typical American propaganda was still ok. But then it devolved into how America probably thinks or wants (some sort of wet dreams) certain parts of the world to work. Parts they have no idea of, especially Eastern Europe. To top it off, sprinkle some forced things, add a bottle of 'the brave American that shoots and 1000 bad guys fall', and you get this amazing pile of mess. But, hey, if you're into this, get some popcorn and spend some 18-19 hours of 'fun'. I am still wondering how the writing process went considering the results.
Blacklight (2022)
A mess
Seems people can't properly tell a story. No real plot or at least poorly developed, awkward ending, a total mess that could have been avoided. If you like a ton of cliches, some action, yep, works. Otherwise it is a waste of time and money.
The Gray Man (2022)
Most expensive ever B movie
A train full of cliché moments just managed to burn through 200 million dollars. No real story, over the top acting, even Golan Globus productions were better. But if explosions and unrealistic fights are your thing, by no means go for it.
Blackout (2021)
Total mess
Whoever wrote this has absolutely no idea ever about how things work. And of course from certain elements (mata at radna dot ru email address ) the Russians are to blame. Because why not. And hackers. A complete waste of time.
Solis (2018)
Not worth the time
One single phrase summarize the whole movie: 'I need to cook myself on a chair and be dramatic about it because it is so so so hard to move behind it'. Complete lack of plot imagination and story telling. It's not yawn like other user noted it's mega yawn.
