Role Play (2024)
A slight, fun movie with good performances.
This is a diverting, fairly short action comedy with good performances.
The plot is very familiar, and similar to lots of other action comedy movies. It's not especially plausible but that doesn't make it any less entertaining.
The violence is the current-era tv style killing where various anonymous henchpeople are summarily executed without any regrets or even backward glances.
The characters aren't explored in any emotional depth, which keeps the whole film light and entertaining and is entirely appropriate.
David Oyelowo really propels this film along with a kinetic, funny and charming performance as the hapless Dave.
Maigret (2022)
Interesting story marred by inexplicable cinematography.
The story is interesting, performances really great and the resolution is satisfying. Dépardieu's performance is characteristically good. The art direction is ere-appropriate and the pacing of the story keeps the viewer interested. Unfortunately, the cinematography is distracting. Every scene - even the most simple conversation - is marred by unnecessary camera movement, drawing attention to the camera work rather than the story. Even worse, there are dramatic moments of the story that are largely rendered unintelligible by inexplicable camera movement and sloppy editing. A potentially interesting story ruined by poor camera work and direction.
