Ad Astra (2019)
Pirates on the moon
They lost me at the point where pirates hunted them on the moon. Humanity spent probably trillions building lunar and martian bases, but somehow a couple of pirates are in the position to jeopardize a top secret mission to save humanity. Poorly thought in my opinion, it speaks about the way the producers of this movies look at us.
Umbre (2014)
Captivating story
This drama is centered around an odd family man who must balance the life of an enforcer with that of a husband and father of two. Every twist and turn derives from this double life and it's by no means a new idea. Unfortunately we don't see too much character development which could have added a lot more depth to the story but nevertheless it does it's best to construct a plausible scenario.
It abounds in street language which feels a little bit forced at times, giving the impression that the screenwriter wanted so much for this story to look and feel authentic that he over did it at times. Nobody squeezes so many clichés per minute of talking in real life (much of them being street language stereotypes from the 70-80s, so a little out of place).
Overall it's interesting and worth watching but it could have been so much better with just a little more effort and a more seasoned screenwriter.
