Finding Alice (2021)
Stick with it it is very British!
I was also frustrated and little thrown and found it annoying for the first two episodes- partly because it doesn't set out its stall clearly as to what it trying to be. it actually does improves and you realise Alice's annoying and seemingly irrational behaviour is borne out of immense shock and grief and I guess explains her lack of a filter in social situations. It is very British in its subtlety and and the writing does improve. It is flawed and I guess dealing with absurdity of all the stuff that surrounds us when death occurs and no one talking about it makes it all a bit uncomfortable viewing. Interesting to note that my grandad always wanted to be left out with the bins and couldn't understand why that couldn't happen! It is actually legal now to be buried in your own garden and I see that taking off what with lockdown and all😜
Hotel Mumbai (2018)
Of course it's violent and chaotic- it's Mumbai!
As a westerner who lived in Mumbai for two and half years from 2012, I could not bring myself to watch this film for months. The locations are all familiar and the aftermath of this attack still two ages accords the city. I am surprised by the bad reviews - the sheer random violence makes an impact precisely because it was relentless and made no sense. The biggest weakness was the true fact that special forces were based 800 miles away. After this event hotel brought in security at hotel doors with x ray. My husband, a leading piano technician was invited to examine a grand piano, stores in the. Works of the Trident that has been set in fire and was riddled with bullet holes.. I like the way the film uses real footage, this is not a film about why they did it- it's film about survival and human behaviour
Killer Elite (2011)
Great cars..dreadful script
Tedious Macho nonsense And proof of two things: a good cast doesn't always mean a great movie and just because it's based on a true story doesn't mean it makes a good movie.
Loved the eighties cars.
Criminal: Spain (2019)
Creditt the voices please
Enjoying these as pieces of short drama and appreciate the challenges of making shows "less dubby" As an avid radio drama. Listener the U.K. Season relied heavily on looks and visual tension, so far the Spanish one would work equally well on radio. I cannot find any info about the British actors who are in this series. i thought one of the detactives is Alison's dowling who plays Elizabeth's pargiter in the Archers and it's driving me nuts not knowing!!
Please credit these actors as often they are having to bring a clunky translated script to life.
