Inside Man (2022)
'What a load of ol' s**t' (Nan, Catherine Tate Show)
No, but seriously?! How ridiculous is this??!! A 'Silence of the Lambs' type killer guru; a jovial cannibal sidekick with a photographic memory; a hapless 'no credentials' journalist from UK manages an audience with this crime solving duo - oh, they're in US on Death Row (course they are);in the meantime David Tennant is 501 wearing vicar who has locked a woman (was she the maths tutor? Who knows - no explication) in his cellar over something which could have been resolved in 10 mins with a discussion and a visit to the Police. Embarrassingly bad. Someone in BBC needs to give up smoking crack.
The Missing (2003)
Over long and over dreary
I nearly walked out of this because it was just too much. The villain is truly horrible which was great, but it was relentless. No humour, no warmth, just drudgery with the protagonists making stupid mistakes which had me hating them for being so stupid! The little girl was fantastic in her role, but I ultimately didn't really invest in them enough to care what happened to them. I love Tommy Lee Jones, and just kept wishing this was Lonesome Dove...
