Captivating, mesmeric, beautifully shot with music to match. Del Torro has the charisma and presence to create a film noir charm, slow, enquiring, pin-point questioning from the detective. Films of this class are worth the wait. Depth, mood, tension like a good God Father movie. Director, Producer, Del Torro himself deserve much credit making this one.

Had to be said. This is indeed a dark and brooding film. Reminded me of 1972 film Tales from the Crypt. Left or right, real or unreal, belief or dis-belief. What is the comon religion? Control? The afterlife? Another comparative might have been soccer in which the mob are controlled every weekend. But the point was made superbly - going back to pagan times when you were either "in" or "out". The ape family controls there own the same way to this day. Join the family, stay in the family, serve the family - or else. Go to jail!

I share the 5 star concensas. If you want to learn more about Reagan other than contra-rebels fiasco and the meeting with Gorbachev at Reykjavik there are many challenges he faced young and old that offers depth and feeling that came so easily as a person. Much of the film is told by Jon Voight who contributed greatly and illustrates perfectly the burning question of why east versus west still knaws away to this day.

Only for the broad minded. Swearing throughout. Takes awhile to figure out the story. Imagine utterly mad, rebellious youth on full throttle. Nowhere will you find a coherent conversation but then again it's the Irish language. Curiousity and film reviews attracted my attention. To sell the film, I remarked its probably a bit like Trainspotting with intoxicated and vulgar youth. It was. We liked Trainspotting but this movie has less substance, often coherent, and less fun. Edgy throughout. The camera was excellent at times, especially a movie example illustrating "think-bubbles" when needed. The historical reference makes this a worthwhile movie and to some extent educational that this happened. But it is forgettable for base language and idiot and backward lifestyles.

The synopsis left you anticipating a suspenseful thriller - and it was! The concept threw in a mixture of past scripts and themes such as Nicole Kidman's TV series "Nine Perfect Strangers, the recent Jeffrey Epstein controversy of innocent women being lured to his private island, the drug induced rogue major played by Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now. If you like suspense, the portrayal and use of animal instincts to survive with the acting complexity of expressing joyful laughter whilst being in fear of your life, the notion that imminent horror awaits unless you do something drastic to survive, and are not squeamish then have a ball. Not a horror film. But a warning to those who may fall prey to the likes of Channing Tatum.

Stunning performance in all respects. Captures so many dimensions with such magnificence. Costume, setting, personalities, phrasing, vulnerabilities, power, tensions, learning your role, historical details and conventions. Facial expressions shot and captured so sublimely. We can so easily see how those members in the shadows get burdened with tedium realising their roles and where they fit in. How daily conformity and pressures thereof cause them to err and how reputation will be their history. Excitement must be found somewhere! Every minute, every line, each delivery is one to savour.

A Cornish excursion that takes you into a 1950s style of dark and dreary story-telling like Rosselini's Stromboli with Ingrid Bergmann. The down-on-your-luck scant rewards and physical hardship of catching fish for a living while the well healed city-slickers try to relax in pleasant scenery as gate- crashers to a accepted way of life. The camera catches the light and detail of black and white imagery providing time and space for viewer to think about the others predicament. Their clipped sentences reflect negative thought processes - heavy with angst, resentment, limited teenage vocabulary of easy expletives, entrapment, all spelling out the simmering to boiling-point inner-rage. The stark reality from each side of the divide. Depressing but sympathetically told. The blissful ignorance of the city-slicker comes head-to-head with gritty Cornish stoicism. Like a city shopper meeting a begger/ beggers but this time confined to a small room or shopping mall that prevents one from turning your head or walking the other way. Remaining unperturbed by the misforfune of others just won't cut it. Knowing there is little one can do in this rock-and-a-hard place harbour except fight your corner. It is the only way out of this one. Excellent film that achieved all its objectives of sadness, youthful descent, a withering industry, a capitalist invasion. Not a humorous subject so you won't find any - like Stromboli.

A must see. An extraordinarily lavish production with beautiful camera work, close-ups that reveal the passion, hurt, effort, distress, and joy through ever-changing telling phases of Whitney's life. Stanley Tucci's Clive appeared effortless and perfection in the role of mentor and support, business advisor, producer. It is 146 minutes of brilliant acting and photography that leaves the viewer in no doubt why the singer met her untimely end without you necessarily knowing the facts before hand. Apparently, this film is not 100 % faithful to actual events but is a brilliant film nonetheless. 10/10.

The film captures everything you would want from a realistic, no-nonsence, brilliant scene-by-scene true story of the Harvey Weinstein saga and the female journalists who painstakenly were able to right the wrongs of him and his methods that protected him over decades. So much to savour. The good-guys at the paper eventually ensnare the pathetic, brutal and wretched beast that ran amok at Miramax by gleaning the names of female victims, offences committed, hush-money payments. It will no doubt reflect similar past, present and future events in establishments, firms, institutions around the world. Entrapment, fear, a career in film making in return for sex and above all confidentiality agreements to silence his sorded reputation were the primary weapons. Using and abusing his power, aided and abetted by his legal department on victims who simply wanted to make the most of their chosen careers but then find they have a difficult choice to make - and it will haunt them for the rest of their lives whichever choice they happen to make. A cleverly made film that flows majestically to hold your interest and capture the telling moments to advance and build the case against Weinstein. Every actor is seriously on message with their facial expressions, script, as camera follows their deliberate moves and piece together the facts which finally make the newspaper article. If you liked All The Presidents Men about the Watergate scandal you will like this. No sign of Weinstein as this proved unnecessary. Just his voice 'actual voice' that threatened, intimidated, and tried so hard to keep his terrified prey away from the law. The whole story is a reality check for male and female alike on how power can potentially keep a strangle-hold on our lives and careers.

High praise for the music score, camera work, storyline and many of the older and younger supporting actors. The viewer is forced to accept pre-existing career successes, trappings of wealth, extravagances and body heat from the central characters. If effort makes for a rewarding relationship, then the viewer is wondering where and when that effort was made in this otherwise casual approach. Was it ever gained, achieved or did it remain on a superficial level? One half of film centers around sultry voices and physical attraction - because after all, it's just another one of those physical opportunities. Normal everyday events and conversation to form and build chemistry was fairly absent in these clipped scenes which after all is the background story rather than the central love story. That said, the continuity of younger and older versions of some of the characters was very convincing. So too the supporting contemporaries who bounced off each other with sharp humour, body language and convincing rethoric, giving this film both the lighter and deeper nuances of feeling needed to improve the overall experience.
