Spiderhead (2022)
3/10
Simply unwatchable
8 July 2022
10 minutes into you wonder where it's going so you keep watching.

20 minutes into it pretty much the same.

30 minutes into it patience starts wearing thin... Beyond that you just quit this nonsense.

Good movie
22 June 2022
Don't really know why the low rating...the plot is there, Chris Pine is excellent, Ben Foster's great as always, there's thrill, tension and intensity. What else....

Nice surprise
6 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
S1 is OK plot is good so is screenplay and acting is great and of course masterful William Hurt makes a difference,. He always does, did ...RIP!

S2 is less action but more intensely suspenseful.

Very enjoyable.

Enough
1 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
S3 is nothing but a nice display of Maybachs, choppers and G650's or the like.

The rest is a crash course in foul language by Roman, endless shots of stone-faced Kendall, amateur dealmaking and essentially a test of patience for viewers waiting for something to happen.

This series peaked at the end of S2 and that was it.

Where is this S4 going...?
1 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This series is losing traction and is getting boring, more stereotypes less storylines.

You can tell all rodeo and cowboy stuff is there to fill episodes rather than leading to something meaningful. Same holds for bunkhouse fights and all. I've watched 4 episodes and nothing has happened it just drags along without thrills or any sort of intensity.

And it just magnifies the lack of substance of characters like Rip, tough but hollow, and Beth, smart but -often unnecessarily- spiteful.....

Yara (2021)

Quite mediocre
9 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A poorly acted scripted and directed portrayal of a real criminal case with many missing key parts such as the suspect/perpetrator's interrogation to name one.

Schumacher (2021)
1/10
Get the facts straight - tell all the facts
16 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'm 20 minutes into it and already disappointed.... To show Schumacher chasing down Senna in 1993 SPA without adding the latter gambled on staying out on slicks in heavy rain to eventually be overtaken by both Benettons in the end, sets the tone for what to expect from this documentary.

And the underlying suggestion that Senna crashed and died in Imola "because he was being chased by Schumacher" (the next big thing) it's an awful and disrespectful way of building up the myth of the newcomer.

Besides, those who have closely followed F1 over the years, know that by that time Benetton had become a force to reckoned with, while the once unreachable Williams was nowhere near its 1992 peak performance and Senna was fighting a crampy cockpit they couldn't fix.

Serious crap
30 August 2021
Started watching because I saw Tom Wilkinson but 20 minutes into it I could only fast forward....what a poor effort and what a dislikeable improbable hero.

C'mon Netflix!

Deceiving
26 May 2021
A patchwork of improbable characters indulging in a fabricated reality led by a fake real-life individual (overratted stone-faced Tony Servillo) with no purpose in life.

Direction is appropriately narcisisstic as it is always the case with Sorrentino.

A perfect package for the Oscars always seeking a piece of culture...except this is made up.

Awful
13 May 2021
This review cannot contain spoilers because 35 minutes into the movie - as far as I could go -you have a hard time understanding if there's actually a plot or anybody in the crew has any clue about acting and filmmaking.

Don't know why the low rating

This movie is a lot better than you you'd expect, pretty good for 90 minutes of entertainment.

Governance (2021)
7/10
Been a while...
12 April 2021
Had not seen a good Italian movie in quite a while.

This is a very well crafted, directed and acted thriller, with a good story and an excellent pace, quite intense and entertaining.

A nice departure from the trash comedy-obsessed Italian cinema delivers nowadays....

Suburra: Blood on Rome (2017–2020)

S3 review
4 November 2020
A mediocre crime story, centered around poor characters, hardly credible crooks, below average acting, empty dialogues, and a plot that goes nowhere.

Why?
10 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The story is there, occasionally intense, hardly suspenseful, but still there. But then why does it have to be about a whiny, idiotic, clumsy, selfish, unkempt, unshaven drunk running around in a filthy yellow duvet borrowing homes, cars, favors he never thanks anybody for?

Masterpiece
29 March 2020
Ozark is the perfect tv show....great story, great actors, great screenplay, great directing, great intensity, great entertainment. You're left wondering how you could find under the same umbrella (Netflix) miserable products such as Toy Boy or, even worse, Money Heist.... Lack of content....?

Seriously?
20 March 2020
Everything is just so mediocre in this TV-series....plot, characters, actors you name it. It only takes 20 minutes to realize you're watching total trash so you wonder....where's all these great reviews coming from?
