Systrabönd (2021)
A nice series, but a bit too long and repetitive
This could include a spoiler.
When body remains are found, three women become agitated because it could mean that the remains of a girl they possibly killed 25 years ago and was reported missing. The have all they have all developed their lives into very different channels and the discovery of the body remains could upset their whole life. Their implications for this are however very different.
Well played out for the most part and believable and the acting is quite good overall. The main drawbacks are two.
Firstly it is repetitive, where the same scenes flashbacks are played over and over again without adding to them anything to clear what happened on that fateful night 25 years before and some of the scenes seem to drag on endlessly without a point.
******* SPOILER ******.
The other drawback is that at the end it is not fully revealed what happened and there is no prologue revealing the fate of the characters.
The Captive (2014)
A really bad movie
This movie is bad. Eight years pass and no changes are apparent in their visual appearance of the characters. They are mostly wearing the same clothes, no changes in hairstyle and the surveillance technology is at the same level in eight year span. Note that there has been a vast improvement in that technology in the last five years. There are always the same two cops investigating the case and almost no other cops are seen. They seem to be really stupid and although the work mainly with computers, they seem to be totally ignorant of the simplest of surveillance technology.
A movie to avoid. Reynolds is quite good as most of the actors, but unfortunately the manuscript is not up to anything.
