The Unforgivable (2021)
Good story and acting
I am very impressed with Bullock's easy transition from comedy to drama, especially after watching the Blind Side. Here she outdoes herself with her superb role as a victim of injustice.
The entire cast was superb, which contributed to the all-round excellence of the film.
I usually dislike films with too many flashbacks, but in this case the flashbacks were not only appropriate but essential to the story plot and surprise ending.
The tension was excellent throughout, so the screenplay was well balanced and steadily rising towards the ultimate climax.
The film also had a strong message regarding the difficulties and prejudices faced by released inmates.
Naked Tango (1990)
Worst film I've ever seen
Chaplinesque melodrama, slapstick, totally predictable, with a touch of soft porn. The scenes and action are totally unrealistic, so after the first few scenes I was wondering whether I was seeing a drama or a spoof of a melodrama.
I can't even categorise it is art, even with the best of intentions, as it seems to have been created with the intention of producing something outlandish. Sadly, the plot idea was good, but it could have been handled much etter. It is as if the producer had a great idea, but then the scriptwriters went off on their own, adding one crazy idea after another, creating a mish-mash of impossible scenarios.
