Watched the entire series for Gingle Wang, disappointed that the entire series was fixated on one single serial killer. Wouldn't recommend the show to other people unless they're fans of any particular actor/actress in the series.

Couldn't bring myself to finish the movie. Watched less than half of it, which says a lot.

Haven't watched the original 1994 movie, but this short 6-episode drama on its own has perhaps the worst plot arc of all dramas in my recent memory. Unexplained motives behind why Lou got obsessed with Joyce, the story behind Lou's mother and the suicide and the consequent impact on Lou ending up having a mental breakdown and list goes on. The good acting work of Diane Kruger and Kiernan Shipka all went to waste thanks to the extremely shallow plot.

A rather slow movie, but really enjoyed watching the old couple doing things together after retiring and reconnecting with the adult-children. Heartwarming nonetheless. Good movie to watch with the family, especially across 3 generations together.

Ooohhhh this one is a masterpiece. A tad slow in the build up and the mind games that the writer is playing with youse (the viewers), but it's really job well done. Twists and turns, pitting this against that and when the truth hits you it hits you hard. Be careful with the season finale, it's pretty emotionally charged. When it's all proven that the mom is right all along and even paid her life as the price for her son, it just hits you right at home.

Definitely not the typical spy-genre that you're accustomed to with the Bonds and MI franchises, to me this actually skews more towards the depiction of a marriage in reality, with sprinkles of realism & authenticity all over the series. We follow the journey of John and Jane, from the two being cash-strapped and slowly making their fortune with every accomplished missions — reflecting how each of the two working with each other in the marriage. There are respect between the two, understanding that each has their strengths. As the two slowly make a good fortune (evidenced with John wearing a Patek while meeting the therapist) the power balance in the marriage slowly shifted as couples tend to. Cracks begin to show, with Jane forgetting when John, early in the relationship together, showing Jane the ropes due to John's ex-Marine experience. She begins to feel deflated with self-importance especially after suggestions of being highly regarded by Hihi (the boss) and seeing John "changed" in the altecations with Toby. Also, love the format of the presentation, switching it up every now and then and never in linear. Unique nonetheless, albeit becoming a slow burn most of the time.

Absolutely loved this movie, not at all disappointed like how i was with Civil War and Atlas. Good amount of action, dialogue and common sense. Just have a small grudge of how Colt forgot of a modern invention called a cellphone, where he could have just called Jody when he's gonna be late for karaoke.

The premise and background was good, so was the plot arc. With that being said, it's still a movie that falls in the bucket of "not achieving full potential". Overplayed the hand on "emotions", with Atlas already facing life or death situation and there the character is holding back from achieving 100% sync — not once but TWICE! A second chance was given to Atlas when Banks gave her the earpiece to summon Smith but she hesitates and delays in achieving full sync? I wonder how far can it get from real human behaviour. Short on time, and there's still time for so much irrelevant dialogues on guilt, feeling bad and feelings. Also, J Lo's acting kinda sucks. Edit: realised it wasn't J Lo's acting, but rather her facial expressions not being shown to its maximum potential. Case study: Louis Koo of Hong Kong, facial expressions have become rather stiff after certain "procedures".

Objectively not a bad movie, just a movie hallmarked by lots of missed opportunities. Not enough depth in the background of the civil war, far too much detail in the attack of the White House at the end. The team behind the movie has a huge job in tuning the depth and the scope of each event from the journalists' departure from NYC to D.C., and not all were up to expectations of the greatness this movie can achieve. All in all I really looked forward to this movie, not 100% a let down but not really satisfied either.

Would have been a half-decent movie if it wasn't for the grossly inaccurate depiction of how technology works, absurd plot holes, terrible cinematography – the whole movie was literally carried by Andy Lau and the cast. DDoS executed via one click of a button? Getting a "hacking detected" notification on the screen? That's just hilarious, and what's worse is that's just one of plenty in one single movie. I mean, i get it these scenes need to be understandable by the mass public, but really, these quirky details just spoil all the hard work and good acting of the cast. Couldn't even bring myself to watch the movie till the end due to the disgust.
