This is easily the worst movie I have seen this year. The acting is terrible, and the script is next to stupid. Even the above average production quality couldn't help this movie. Seems like the director wants to make the audience dumb. The only motivation behind completing this movie was the fact that I am a fan of mysteries and I just wanted to finish it off. I am wondering how this made it into Netflix. Even if you have two hours to do nothing, there are better things to do than investing time on this one. For a moment, I thought this is a debut movie from the director but turns out he had done a handful of movies in the past. Bottom line, just terrible!

Three veteran friends, a sketchy neighbourhood and a grand daughter who got entangled in between to take care of. A perfect setting for a good thriller series is what I thought when I started with the show. However, the storyline was rambling all over the place. Triangular love story, vengeance, you name it! Also, right from the beginning of the second season, seems like the writers went out of ideas. There was nothing much happening since episode four or so in the second season until almost the last episode. Being said that, the filming locations felt to reflect the setting very well. There are few notable performances, especially the protagonist himself but the grand daughter's casting could've been better, not abysmal though.

It's been a while since I have seen family dramas this intense and basked in reality. The journey through the three generations of hill people was breathtakingly stunning. Good script, excellent editing, great direction, and excellent performances from Amy Adams and everyone else as well. Overall, a must watch for those who like dramas.

With a slow buildup and not so riveting plot, the storyline was predictable. However, there were some awesome performances from the actors which did make up for it. Being said that, the plot became interesting to the end, and the climax was all the more realistic.
