Unseen (2023)
Ignore the flaws and you will enjoy it
The story is about Zenzi Mwale whose husband, Max, takes the fall for the murder of a one Yazid on behalf of his crime bosses. Zenzi is looking for Max on the day he gets out of prison but he is no where to be found. What follows is Zenzi unexpectedly building up a pile of bodies in her search for Max. But she is just a cleaner. She is the Unseen. No one suspects her....until they do.
Now, there are some shallow micro-plots, unuseful characters in some scenes and a few mistakes that could have been solved with deeper thinking.
BUT....the good actors are really good and the story is quite solid. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
The Continental (2023)
your standard action, bloody violence and JW-style humour
Forget the negative reviews. This was exactly as I expected. A good mix of action, drama and comedy. It is not John wick but smells very much of him. It was captivating from the beginning. If you love your action and pop corn, this is it.
The graphics are nice and the 1970s environment is brought out very well. The characters are precise and there is no meangingless plot. There are bad guys and good guys and those in-between. There is guns, knifes, fists, sweat and blood. Most importantly, the story is straightforward and easy to understand, no need to scratch your head.
100% must watch. I will be eargerly waiting for the next episode.
Creed III (2023)
A legitimate sequel. Must watch
Jordan is obviously an all time favorite, but Jonathan Majors was absolutely incredible in this film for someone who only started acting in 2017. I loved him when I first watched The harder they Fall. He did not disappoint. He absolutely nails it.
This movie is about the pain of seeing someone live your dream, while you're helplessly locked away. And the ambition of wanting your dream back and the willingness to injure past friendships along the way.
The conversations are legit. The scenes are intense, full of emotion, anger, love, unfinished business and, of course, blood, sweat and teeth.
Strongly recommended.
Inventing Anna (2022)
Give it time, it'll blow you away.
Do not listen to the nay-sayers. Yes, I needed to reach the 3rd episode for the thrill to kick in but it was a steady ride until the end. It was very captivating. Good for binge-ing. Julia Garner acts wholesomely well and does better than in Ozark. The other characters absolutely performed their roles well. It was a great build up until the final minute. Must watch.
The Unforgivable (2021)
Great story. Thrilling. Intense. Good acting.
Bullock did a good job in this movie. She's sentenced for killing a cop and released early on good behavior. What follows is a mixture of regret, love, hate, anger and forgiveness. Plus a little action. And a few no-nonsense lines from Viola Davis.
I was glued from start to finish.
Holiday in the Wild (2019)
Totally loved it!
Great plot. Good cast (including the elephants!) and well, it's set in Africa. and for a good cause.
Correction though on the 54th minute. The song in the background is in Luganda not Kiswahili.
