The Good Nurse (2022)
Engaging movie with superb performances from Chastai and Redmaine
Not sure why the overall rating is so low. This is an engaging depiction of true events with winning performances from all the cast especially Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. I started it with high expectations given the casting line up and i can honestly say it was the best movie I have seen this year. I sat enthralled throughout, slightly at the edge of my seat when Amy was trying to extract the truth from Charlie. A Quality movie. Superb performances. It's 10/10 for me. Highly recommend. My Thoughts go out to all the victims and their families. Truly horrendous what happened. Worst of all he could have been prevented from continuing his spree had the hospitals not tried to cover it up.
Sophie: A Murder in West Cork (2021)
The whole story, well done Netflix
Found this documentary far superior to justice for Sophie. As usual Netflix knocked out another superb documentary with every single fact that they could present leaving the viewer to make up their own mind. Born & bred in Cork I have grown up with this story, like everybody, wanting to know did he do it! This documentary covers everything from the timeline of the crime, the inexperience of the Gardai that contributed to a flawed investigation, a focus on Sophie & her family (which the other doc lacked), interviews with witnesses who were there at the time who knew Ian well & could recount their version of events while letting the main suspect Ian himself also participate. The whole unbiased picture. I see someone mentioned it had a disappointing ending but of course the "ending" is disappointing in that we do not know who killed Sophie or rather can't prove who did. I wonder will we ever truly know. But in terms of the ending I loved the way that Netflix put the focus back on Sophie. After all this is a story about a beautiful woman who fell in love with the most stunning area of Ireland (where we literally left our keys in the door at night), a safe haven, only to be brutally murdered. Well done Netflix. I hope one day there will be justice for Sophie and her family.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
Superb
When I watched the first episode of this show I thought "true detective" style, but it turned out to be so so much better. All the cast give outstanding performances. Kate Winslet continues to just deliver consistently brilliant performances. She should be so proud of this project, it really was the best show I have seen in ages. The storyline is flawless. It was gripping, raw, emotional & shocking leaving an ending that will stay with you! The twists were genius. Epic show!
American Assassin (2017)
Rubbish
I had to create an account after this movie just to tell people not to waste their time watching it! Terrible acting and a ridiculous storyline!
Worst action movie ever!
