The Beekeeper (2024)
Verona Parker
She needs to find a new career. With a better actor it would have helped a lot. Jason is great and the premise is believable. It is just that horrible badly written character, magnified by an unlikable actor and performance. I almost wish they would do a remake as the plot essentials are very good. As always watching the good guy beat up the bad guys is satisfying and especially in creative and brutal ways it is done. The spoiled kid, president's mom did an excellent job. He has a future! And I liked the metaphor of the be hive and the protection of the hive and the idea that if the queen produces defective offspring she should be removed.
Hautalehto: Kylmä syli (2021)
Unusual Direction and Camera Work
The director used a lot of close ups of the wonderful faces of the excellent actors. That was something unusual these days but very effective. The actors carried it. Freezing Embrace has an interesting mystery and keeps us wondering about the strange young policeman and his problems. His way of being blank and unresponsive creates dramatic tension. I was not satisfied with the motivation of the killer. It seemed unprobabable. I think we should have know more about him, or suspected things about him before the last episode. And I was surprised they couldn't track the reason for the killings back to the early traumatic event that starts the series. I will be looking for season 2 as the characters are excellent and the romantic relationships believeable.
