What a waste of my time, So many gaping holes in the very poor plot if it could called a plot.Very wooden acting, every one had access to a variety of firearms, shooting at silhouettes through frosted glass doors and windows. Why did Silas chase everyone on his horse? So bizarre, So many questions that need answers to enable the viewer to know who all these gun toting people are. I did have a chuckle over the final scenes, so utterly ludicrous. 😂

This must be the most expensive flop that Netflix have made. It was completely boring, the plot was ridiculous, had it been tongue in cheek with an injection of humour it might have helped save it.I like Ryan Gosling normally, but he was so wooden and unconvincing as Six (Bruce Willis would have been ideal)oh, I almost forgot, the one little bit of supposed humour, when asked why he was called Six, he replied that 007 was already taken!!! Pathetic.This is the sort of film that the people who watch and chatter all through the program Goggle Box, on tv. would love. Yes ,I could have switched off but thought I ought to watch it to the bitter end. I wonder if professional paid film critics watch to the very end when a film is an obvious bummer??

I would be very interested to read reviews of this series from the Notts. Police who solved this bizarre, complicated double murder case by hard, brilliant detective work. Two became very high ranking Officers . They were hoping that it would be excellent because of the reputations of the leading cast members. I can only imagine that all members of the force would have been very upset and disappointed at the portrayal of the officers as foul mouthed, and ignorant with not one redeeming feature among them.I could have compared them to the Keystone Cops, but the Keystones were funny. I binge watched the series and found it mildly interesting, the main characters a bit eccentric, Olivia Colman’s trademark little girl simpering, big pug wistful eyes, turning in a flash to a scary characterI must confess to nodding off at times not because I was tired but out of sheer boredom at some of the forays into cowboy land, particularly the forest scene where the police were dressed as the sheriffs posse chasing the escaped couple who then shot dead the posse!!(they later all stood up and brushed themselves down and wandered off) As for the final scene when the couple galloped off into the sunset on what I assume was a pretend horse, words fail me..(shades of Roy Rogers and Dale) Critics praise the film as great Art, In my humble opinion it’s a case of that very old children’s story The Emperors New Clothes. This was a murder story that gripped the nation,papers tv, radio and the Notts police did a wonderful job. This film has made a mockery of it, turning the murderers into people who seem to almost deserve our sympathy.sorry HBO, for me it’s a bummer☹️☹️.

Started to watch this film last night I decided that life is too short to finish watching a film that I ceased unable to connect to , Cumberbatch was just a man who for some odd reason liked to be filthy dirty most of the time ,I could not think of him as his character Phil. I had to wonder why his fastidious brother shared the same bed in that huge house. My mind was beginning to wander; why were there so many ranch hands who didn’t seem to do much work, they frolicked in the river, put up little tents, tormented young Peter, the rather effeminate son of the drunken Rose, and I didn’t see many cows, I thought New Zealand was over run with them? After a couple of riding lessons given by a much cleaner Benedict who was clearly smitten by young Peter, he quietly packed a bagand rode off towards the mountains. We then saw him riding down a very steep slope like a rider with many years experience! He found a dead cow with nasty wounds.He dismounts, opens his bag an puts on long surgical gloves over his riding gloves and proceeds to cut the carcass. I decided then that the plot at last was becoming interesting so went to bed. Today, I picked up where I left off last night, and was I glad I did. I won’t give any spoilers, only to say I felt sorry for Dr. Peters patients, one of the best endings i’ve seen. Pity the film seemed to have chunks missing all the way through. The musical score was awful like a class of 5 year olds playing various instruments,I nearly turned the sound off because it was very much like the old silent films, the over acting said it all!,To me the star of the film was Peter, he outacted everyone. I was so annoyed at the gaps in the plot, I found a copy of The Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage, which will be with me this week. Having read the synopsis of the book it’s filling in the missing pieces which for me had spoilt the flow of the film. Why do film makers muck about with books that the author has put heart and soul into.? Re shoot the first 2 hours of the film, leave the brilliant, shocking ending and to me, it would be a winner.

I watched this film on November27th as it was shown on Film 4. After watching it it affected me so much, playing on my every emotion, I was simply blown away. It’s one of the best films I have ever seen ,it haunted me for days so very thought provoking. The acting was amazing.I wanted to review it that night but there was just too much I wanted to say, I just couldn’t get it out. I went on to E Bay and was lucky enough to find a copy of the dvd and because I was so amazed at BongJoon Ho work , I also found another dvd with a double bill which I am so looking forward to watch. I want to watch Parasite again this time without the annoying adverts.The film deserved every award it received and I can only heap so much more praise and if you can’t find it on a streaming service do try to search for the dvd. You would have to be brain dead to not be affected by it.You won’t regret it.

This film is the biggest load of codswallop I have ever seen. Just to see what some of the professional reviewers thought I scrolled through and found two of the best, one by Mark Kermode and another by Dimitri Casanov(?] absolutely hilarious and exactly what I thought of this excruciatingly , brain numbing tripe. Yes, I could have switched channels but I just needed to see if there was any way out of this convoluted mess of a film, but sadly , No! Any how thanks to Mark and Dimitri for giving me such a laugh, my evening wasn’t wasted after all !

I have avoided watching this film in the past as the story line just didn’t appeal to me .I certainly wouldn’t have taken the trouble to go out to a cinema to watch it. So thank you Channel4 tv for showing it last night at 11pm. Just out of curiosity I started to watch it and found myself being drawn in so put it on record to watch today. Having just finished it , with tears in my eyes, so dear viewers, if there are sceptics among you, suspend belief for a couple of hours and settle down to watch a beautiful ,very touching fantasy love story. It is set in the early sixties, a time I and thousands of viewers will remember well . The music, the famous singers, every thing of the period was spot on, made me feel very nostalgic. Don’t worry, there was lots of action as it was the time of the Cold War. It was exciting,at times almost heartstopping. Michael Shannon was at his most cruel evil best. and Sally Hawkins as a mute , rather drab young woman, and from her morning bath routine, somewhat sexually unfulfilled is wonderful. She wasn’t deaf in the part ,so used sign language to speak and one of my favourite scenes was her signing a swear word to the scary M Shannon which of course he didn’t understand, but the look of satisfaction on her face was a joy. The ending was exciting and sad, The underwater, almost balletic scene was beautiful.But need we feel sad? Why was the mute Eliza found by a river as a baby? What were the scars each side of the babies neck? Could she have had gills? We will never know but we can fantasise our own choice of ending, either heartbreaking or happy ever after I thought it a lovely totally engrossing film. I can’t wait to buy the dvd to watch it again without adverts.and will love it even more.

Take no notice of professional reviewers, this film has all I expect from a Bruce Willis film, he just plays the same character in every film.Bags of action, evil baddies in high positions kill the innocent goodies, i.e. autistic kids parents.Who cares! Assassin manages to get from A to B in minutes, no traffic hold ups for him, he can kill goodies easily. One of my favourite scenes was Bruce smashing Kudrows wine. Loved the helicopter on the roof , hilarious! The last scene with the kid hugging Bruce, priceless. Great atmospheric music, loved it. Don’t watch Bruce Willis films if you want serious acting, go with the flow and just enjoy ,I always feel good after watching his films, can never remember the names of his characters, he’s just Bruce!!!
