The Good Nurse (2022)
That one scene ruined it for me
Here we have a young nurse, single mother of 2 young children with a heart condition that requires a transplant. She MUST do things that don't require a strain on her heart. She was told by police that the new male nurse is a suspect on overdose deaths at 9 previous hospitals where saline solution bags were injected with insulin. She immediately goes to the hospital to check on the stored insulin bags.
So what do the brain dead writers of this film do?
They have her RUNNING!!!!! Up 4 or 5 flights of stairs to where they store medical supplies.
Hmmmm, correct me if I'm wrong because, fortunately, I haven't been to a hospital in many years, but don't they still have elevators, lots of elevators in hospitals?
Of course, shortly thereafter, she collapses.
Again, I repeat, BRAINDEAD writers & producers that allow crap like that to get into the script!
Vienna Blood: Darkness Rising (2021)
Terrible, terrible.....
..........stupid ass ending. Worth the 1 star I gave it, otherwise I would have given an 8. Sorry, but that ending made absolutely no sense!! I'm now writing nonsense because I'm forced to write at least 150 characters.
The Lost Symbol (2021)
Absolute......
.....nonsensical GARBAGE!!! Terrible casting, especially the actor who plays Robert Langdon. Anyone who has seen the Dan Brown movies with Tom Hanks has got to cringe with this actors version. This is something straight out of a Marvel Studio movie. Don't waste your time.
The Beast Must Die (2020)
POG!
Piece Of Garbage!
Don't waste your time. I did and I'm telling you not to. This is just one big jumble of incessant crying by the lead actress and a PTSD laden chief detective who is horribly miscast and waaaay too young to be a DCI.
But what is truly miscast is a terrible plot, terrible acting that was brought about buy a terrible inept script. A BIG mistake all around!!!!
Proof (2004)
Why I gave it 1 Star?
Because, a few of the reviews wanted to know why copies weren't made. Well, DUH, explain to me how a laptop, with all that information on it, did not have a PASSWORD. Anyone just opened it and poooof!, all the contents are there for the world to see. SERIOUSLY????
Keeping Faith (2017)
On what planet...
...does ANY police dept. allow a serving police officer to take part in a criminal investigation of a family member????
One Lane Bridge (2020)
Waste of time
Gonna keep this short & concise. I wasted 6 hrs on this non-believable mess. A cop who has visions on a "0ne Lane Bridge" and can see the past & future? This gives new meaning to that old adage of being able to drive a truck through all the holes in this story.
Don't say you weren't warned when you come to the same conclusion.
Bang (2017)
Do the Welsh...
...people actually speak perfect English AND Welsh?
And more importantly, is this a new trend with Welsh film makers to have their characters mix the two languages? It is distracting and annoying. I would have given this maybe 9 star rating but I quit after ep 5.
I did watch Keeping Faith. In their Bonus Content they explained that they filmed it in Welsh & English concurrently. I'm guessing that Bang didn't have the budget to do that. In any case, I will never watch a Welsh show again that mixes the languages like that!
Cold Courage (2020)
Absolute CRAP!!
Don't waste your time. I couldn't make it to the end of the first episode. The premise is absolutely ridiculous!!
Gangs of London (2020)
Does anyone....
.....ever wonder how Elliot manages to come out of these Kung Fu staged fights (grunts included at no extra charge) in practically each episode and NEVER comes out with a scratch or bruise or limp or swollen lip, cheek or eye???? Yes, he's bloody & beaten sometimes, but a few hrs later....... nothing, nada, zilch, zero!!! Yes, it's tv show, but get cry' out loud.....all these fights & not even a band aid or a wrist brace???
That's why I gave it a 5.
Keeping Faith (2017)
On what planet...
...does ANY police dept. allow a serving police officer to take part in a criminal investigation of a family member????
The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother's Hunt for Justice (2021)
It's been a long time...
...since I saw a worse piece of crap than this. Some serious overacting by Kim Delaney and terrible, terrible script writing dialogue.
Like they say, "don't waste your time!!!"
Your Honor (2020)
It was a 10 star until....
.....the last 5 minutes. What a complete & total CONTRIVED ending and waste of an otherwise great series. You knew as soon as Adam completely shut down his phone that something was going to happen.....there was absolutely no reason for him to shut his phone off. But then Eugene just happens to walk by & is able to get into the hotel while the bodyguards are occupied with the judge? I'm not even going to comment on how Eugene missed & shot, of all the people people at the dinner, Adam.
But my biggest complaint is why didn't the judge call the cops after the Baxter called to basically tell him that they were going to kill his son????? And don't give me any crap about corrupt NOLA cops....He just had to say to 911 that he was Judge Desiato & a murder was about to go down at that hotel and that it was his son that was going to be killed by Jimmy Baxter. The time & call would have been recorded!! As I said a totally contrived & BS ending.
Servant (2019)
The only reason......
I gave it 2 stars was because of M. Night's past work. Otherwise this was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. The French pronunciation is gar báage!! If you like dull, slow pacing, wine drinking, more wine drinking and of course lots of wine drinking, not to mention gourmet cooking, more gourmet cooking, not to mention lots gourmet cooking.
I will not waste my time on season 2.
Don't waste yours on season 1
Dead Lucky (2018)
BIG MISTAKE
Would have given this an 8 if it wasn't for the last episode. How in the name of common sense, could the Corey Baxter character, after being shot in the thigh and losing blood, walk around everywhere without the slightest sign of a limp. How could the director and even the actor playing Baxter not pick this 100% mistake up?????? Like a Junior High School play.
Suspects (2014)
Can ANYONE.....
.....explain why ALL the solicitors just sit there taking notes and doing & saying NOTHING in defence of their clients. Is there a British law that says "thou shalt not defend thy client until trial and thou shall shut thy pie hole until then."
Those scenes are a TOTAL embarrassment to ALL British solicitors.
Above Suspicion (2009)
I'd have given 10 stars except...
...for the fact that in S2-E3, The Red Dahlia, there are 2 INEXPLICABLE facts that defy common sense. In 2 separate scenes, the SAME woman ASSAULTS 2 different detectives. One with a riding crop that leaves a scar on his face and the other female detective gets a literal beat down. What made me take off 5 stars is that NOTHING HAPPENED to this out of control female. Nothing, nada, zilch, zero. She was not arrested or jailed. I guess in England assault on police is not a crime. And don't even get me started won why police, especially murder detectives, are not allowed to carry guns. Only in Northern Ireland are they allowed to. THAT, is my chief complaint on ALL British cop shows.
My other complaint on this particular episode is that after the killer escapes, (he was cuffed) by beating a cop who was assigned to watch him, the inspector in charge bellows out, "How did he get out of his cuffs?" DUHHHHH, maybe, just maybe, he took the cuff key out of the cops pocket????
Line of Duty (2012)
This show stinks because...
.... of this reason and this reason alone.
When Lennie James character DCI Gates, in E3 I think, of which season I don't know because it's on AMC. The part, at the very end, where 3 masked men come into the house of Gates' girlfriend and slit her throat. Here's what TOTALLY PISSES ME OFF....who, in their right mind, opens their door after midnight WITHOUT asking "who's there???" And this is right after saying to Gates how did they get in. She lives in a driveway & walkway gate that you must be buzzed in. That should have given them an uh oh moment. And besides, living in a mansion like that she doesn't have cameras??? Are you eff'n kidding me??????
And worse yet is what "DCI" Gates says after she screams....."I'm a policeman". Yep, 3 hooded men dressed in black, that's going to defiantly stop them!!!
Reminds me of the joke about British police who can't carry a firearm. "A Bobbie (British term for uniformed police) was chasing a thief down a street. He shouts STOP thief, or I'll say (pause)... STOP AGAIN" The point being that British Police apparently are useless without the ability to carry a weapon!!!! That's why Gates could only say what he did. Yeah, they "only" had a knife, but there were 3 of them!!
Otherwise it a pretty good show.
Interrogation (2020)
The first 30 seconds...
...says that this 20 yr old case remains unsolved and right away prompted me to write (ask) this question. Why am I watching this if there is no resolution???
Do the film makers want the viewer to come to their own conclusion as to "who dunnit"?
If the police can't prove their case today, then why should I bother to watch and eventually have to draw my own conclusion? Does the fact that the family involved is never identified, have something to do with not, apparently, coming to some kind of conclusion? And please, no answers along the lines of......the assassin'(s) of JFK were never known either, but it's pretty obvious who pulled the trigger(s)..... that is not a definitive answer.
I don't think I can spend my time without a satisfactory conclusion, no matter how great the production & acting is.
Crime Story (1986)
Things changed.....
I watched this show back when it was on prime time. I waited years for this to come back onto cable. When I finally discovered it on Amazon Prime I was happier than a pig in you know what. My, my how things have changed. Seeing this now I've given it 1 star. How did I miss the terrible acting or should I say overacting. Plot lines that are full of holes, characters that are doing and saying things that absolutely defy common sense. Seeing it now, I wonder how the hell it ever got a 2nd season. I I wish I had never found the rerun. I would've been left with those fond musguidrd memories from back in the 80s
Occupation (2018)
This is an INCREDIBLE....
....POS!!!
The effects are ok, but the writing is something done by 13 yr olds.
The Disappearance (2017)
What I don't understand....
I'm writing this review after only the first episode. Why? Because what I don't understand is the premise of the "The Disappearance". How the hell does a parent allow a 9 year old to go to school alone in this day & age, HUH??? We're not talking about the school being around the corner. The kid had to bicycle down to a body of water, take a ferry, fer cryin' out loud and then continue on to the school and then do the same thing after school.
What is even more disturbing is that the RETIRED, DOTING, HELICOPTER grandfather, who, btw, lives next door, doesn't take to & bring back the boy is particularly astounding given that he was a prosecutor & a judge & must have handled HUNDREDS of crimes.
THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!!
Like I said, this 1 star review is only for the first episode. I'll see how this plays out, if I can tolerate it, and re-review the The Disappearance.
Lifeforce (1985)
No doubt at it...
...this is the movie that killed the careers of Tobe Hooper and Steve Railsback!!!!
The Enemy Within: Black Bear (2019)
HAD so much promise...
...I really thought we had something here, but the limits of this Tal thing have been stretched to breaking. The killing in the train and the killings at the company were done out in the open with no regard. These killers weren't religious fanatics who had no need to hide their faces. They had no intention of dying for this Tal. Why would they not take the precaution of wearing masks and maybe being identified?
And the FBI spy who so EASILY compromised the camera system??
Sorry NBC, I'm gone.
La trêve: Épisode 2 (2018)
This is an an amazing...
...POS!!!
I can't even begin to write how bad this. I would have to publish a book to point out all the inconsistencies in the plot, the behavior of the characters that absolutely DEFY COMMON SENSE, the endless editing cuts.....but that's all I'm going to say about this stupid ass show.
If you enjoy masochism, then by all means, enjoy.
Once again, an amazing French made POS!!!!
