Loved it. There have been a few Coben adaptations for Netflix, most have been sketchy. This was a high quality production, however. Pacing was really good and the acting was very strong across the board.

Started a Dutch/Belgian series called Undercover today. 3 episodes in and it looks promising.

I really enjoyed Undercover, S1 & S2. The villain's are kind of cartoon villain's but very enjoyable.

If they had done something better with ending, and had a little more activity in the first half hour, it would have been a decent movie. The scenes re the oxygen cannisters were tense.
But ultimately the ending was so flat, it just ruined everything.

Is there a recommendation thread for movies in general beside the Netflix and Prime threads?

There's a 'What I watched recently' thread you could follow.

Not what I’m looking for so I think I’ll start a thread.

Cheers for the response anyway.

He starred in a neonoir called The Kid Detective last year. It's on google play. I'd recommend it fairly unreservedly to a Brody fan. Gentle self-deprecating humour with a couple of well-earned bittersweet moments.

Two netflix docs I enoyed yesterday This has probably already been recommend,I loved "Dancing with Birds" a 45 min doc on netflix showing birds of paradise in papua and panama and the mating dances voiced by Stephen Fry

and not to do with Nature but contemporary Art, SkyLadder was also a great watch. The devotion between grandsons and grandmothers was touching. My Granny is dead 18+months and I still miss her...RIP

Saw this on TV a few weeks/months ago. Really good but also unbelievable that they were able to carry it out. You'll have to watch it to find out why.

Motherland is excellent.

I was slightly worried it would be kind of awful like the last Harlan Coben I saw on Netflix The Stranger but this is good so far!

Earthhorse · 11-05-2021 07:16PM

I just finished The Stranger last night. Yeah, it was pretty objectively awful but it passed the time.

I enjoyed it, I wasn't too clued in about the case bar the summer of Sam movie from a few years ago so I found it interesting.

Calling it now. She's a clone. Is this Aja's first French film since "Haute Tension"?
