Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

It's excellent.…to me that's possibly the first really decent proper "netflix film" I've watched.…..

Shite name is my only criticism...

I'm not saying ...I didn't enjoy some of the other ones.…but theyre filler, this is an excellent film

Great cast, great performances for the most part,

...really solid 8.5-9/10

I’ve noticed a lot of hate about lost on this thread. I’ve almost completed the six seasons again. I binged the series back in 2010 around the time of the finale. Stupidly interesting, mysterious, character driven series that I throughly enjoyed (both times) . Hard to believe the series started 20 years ago.

I wouldn't think extraction was a patch on it

But its definitely not in the same league as Bourne....but to me it's quite a different kind of film.....it might share some elements but there is more thriller/drama in there etc....Bourne to me is solid action, superhuman spy battles shadowy corrupt govt forces....its thrill ride from start to finish...including what has to be one of the best car chase set ups I've seen on a screen in decades

Taken is very enjoyable too but way more heightened and leaning towards the cartoon revenge action side of things..

I mean both of those are classics in their own right but neither of those were netflix produced films right? So I'm not really comparing it against them

Like I said, some of those netflix produced films, the ones they financed for their platform. (not necessarily the foreign films they just bought the rights to) were fairly meh for me, big stars maybe and solid enough but ultimately so so...I'd include extraction in that......in fact I can't remember many that I sat through and felt enthusiastic about at the end (the killer had a bit about it and wasn't bad I suppose......hitman. for all the hype and a likeable/enjoyable enough performance from Powell..again meh enough....the rest very forgettable if not excruciating in some cases)

Look it has it's flaws and this is all subjective but I'm unmoved in my review....I think Rebel Ridge has a lot going for it

Just finished watching The Decameron.

It's alright, very light, frothy - sometimes overstretched- comedy. Has some surprisingly good characters and acting, and then some mind numbing terrible ones.

Good to see another Derry Girls actor doing new stuff.

Just finished 'The Perfect Couple'.

Watched a couple of episodes with the mrs, got drawn in and binged all six.

I'll give it a solid 7.5 out of 10.

Good cast, decent storyline and enough twists and turns to keep you interested.

I managed to correctly guess the perp quite early on but don't ask me how! 😄

Episode 2 (worst ex ever) you are not wrong....genuinely insane... the US justice system is a complete and utter shambles!

I thought it was woeful. A generous 2/10.

Typical Netflix show of late.

Rebel Ridge is very good, it could have been even better with a bit of the runtime shaved off. Definitely could be a star making turn for him, interesting John Boyega was originally cast in the lead but dropped out he is an excellent actor but not sure he would have had the physical heft of Aaron Pierre.

Just finished watching The Pledge there.

Think I'd be generous in giving it a 8/10. Good original storyline. Slightly underwhelming performance from Jack Nicholson especially in the end of the movie. Feels like it's aged a lot since 2001, you'd swear it was an early 90s movie.

^ Some great cast additions there including Peter Capaldi, Paul Giamatti, Chris O Dowd etc.

I see new series of the very enjoyable Fisk is on the way in October in Australia I am guessing it will end up on Netflix like first two seasons!
