Terminal (2018)
Just brilliant
I was weary of some of the poor reviews but thought the cast and premise looked too good for it to be that bad. What a wonderful surprise that this film was such a delight. It builds slowly with some long scenes but they are gripping as the dialogue and characters are so interesting.
As the plot builds and then things really take off in the second half, it just gets better and better. Margot Robbie, Dexter Fletcher and Simon Pegg are standout performers in this but the way that the story develops and comes to a climax just when you are ready for it makes this a very rare 10/10 for me. Add to that a great but dark soundtrack by Newton Faulkner and this is a future classic.
Save Me (2018)
Staggeringly brilliant.....but there is a big "but"
This was wonderful with a gripping plot, brilliant die reaction, fantastic acting, and sweaty palm suspense..........until the last 5 minutes. And therein lies the big "but". Either the scriptwriters just forgot to finish the story off or else they realised just before going into production that there was a lot more coin to be turned by not bothering as they could save that until series 2 and just not bother with any meaningful ending to justify the previous 6 hours of screen time.
I still have to give it an 8 out of 10 as the previous 5 hours and 55 mins were amazing. But why oh why did they have to ruin the ending that way.
