Tracker (2001)
Good for a binge weekend watch
If you are a binge watcher you should enjoy this series. People are comparing it to highlander. I came in not having watched much of the highlander series (except the movies) so my view wasn't tainted by it.
The series wasn't bad. The early '00s SFX was what it was but the series progressed pretty well and the shows were logical and put together thoughtfully. There was not much disbelief to suspend.
There was a nice amount of humor and a lot of humanity in the show which is I guess a bit ironic. It was a bit of a 'pretty people' show but if you like pretty people then there is that for you too.
The only negative part is that, near the end, you kind of got the impression they got the bad news or were saving on money because they focused on previous episodes. This was a bit tedious but at least they tied the end together and left something at the end to open the door for future potential. So it ended cleanly and we might see it in the future.
Bottom line: Logical and bingeable.

Foreign translation
Was it me or was all the foreign dialogue not translated? I could get subtitles in other languages but not English. The only thing I could get was English descriptive and the lost information was vital
Blood Pressure (2012)
I think this will fill up a rainy afternoon if you have one open
This was a bizarre movie that took some interesting twists and turns. It left me numb at the end, not sure how I should feel about it. I guess that is why I wrote this right after the end of the movie. This is the type of movie that you need to mentally chew on for a while to grasp the scope, motivations and reactions of the characters. This could even be good for a second viewing which I rarely do. This would help you see the movie from the other side of the mysteriousness This is quite an interesting premise. It goes to places you don't expect it to go and where you end up is probably not where you expect to end up.
I think for an interesting project, they should give the script to five or six different directors and then take them to a certain point in the movie. Then, just step back and let them take it from there. This is the type of movie that would turn into five or six equally satisfying yet different movies if that idea was followed. That is the type of movie this is.
I gave it 7 stars for the creativity and thoughtfulness of the premise. It was enough to look past the acting. I'm not saying the acting was bad, it was actually quite good in places, but I have never been a judge of acting. The movie stimulates your curiosity enough that you can look past the performances. Someone else will need to comment on that.
I will say that I wouldn't mind seeing the leading lady more. She is pleasant to look at and believable. Even as I write this it is growing on me, but I'm quite easily entertained :)
