Deadline (2022– )
8/10
Way better than I expected.
14 April 2022
Journalist James Alden is determined to clear Natalie Varga, who's accused of murdering her husband, when he becomes infatuated with her, his own life is in danger.

I seem to be out on a limb a little here, but I actually really enjoyed it. I thought it was incredibly slick, entertaining, and intriguing.

I got vibes of a few films, I can't say for certain, bit possibly Basic Instinct, definitely Rebecca, I wish I could think of the title.

Plenty of twists and turns, lots of unexpected moments, and some very gritty scenes too, plenty to keep you guessing.

James D'Arcy and Charlie Murphy are both awesome, their acting really does help to elevate the script, an honourable mention also for Anamaria Marinca, Mrs Molnar gave me Mrs Danvers vibes.

Very well filmed and shot, great location work, Channel Five once again went to Budapest to film, and it looks amazing.

It really doesn't deserve the hate it's been getting, give it a chance, I enjoyed it, 8/10.
