Old Dads (2023)
Is it a comedy or Californian reality?
Honestly, not being American, I don't know what to think of it. If it is a comedy, it is really good and hilarious, paying attention to a number of ridiculous developments in "modern" society. But I am unsure whether it was intended that way, because, since I have never been to California, I am scared that this may be actually happening in there... If so, it's a really scary movie. That is also the witness to its quality, because it actually planted a seed of doubt in me, whether it wasn't real. The storyline is not the best, but that is probably not the main point here. The characters are the key element here and they are well portrayed and one can identify with them, especially of being the same generation as them.
Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis (2022)
Great documentary
An unique documentary without any comments made entirely from original news reports and original footage. It portrays the grim incompetence of the German police and its special forces (not unsimilar to the failed rescue attempt at 1972 Munich Olympics), following the long journey of the kidnappers and their hostages and at the end even showing helicopter shots of the outcome and arrogance of the district attorney. Few lines of text before the end credits reveal the information of development, the destiny of the criminals, their hostages and the outcome for German journalism, which was ultimately blamed for the situation instead of the incompetence of the police. Great documentary.
Munich: The Edge of War (2021)
A movie to make the Czech angry and the British to look incompetent?
What is the purpose of this movie? If the answer is to make the Czechs angry, than great job. It's most likely a total fiction, with pace slowing down in the middle of the movie with two main characters acting completely irrationally, like idiots. If the purpose was to ease the burden of the betrayal to British, it also fails miserably, because it shows that the traitor Chamberlain knew. To sum up, it is a bad movie from historic point of view and it is a bad spy movie due to the characters. The only positive is Jeremy Irons' portrayal of the traitor Chamberlain.
Miss Sloane (2016)
8-9/10 Great movie, awesome plot.
Great movie, awesome plot. The pace could have been a bit faster and the ending might have used a bit more explanation, but otherwise an awesome movie with some great acting.
