Tack och förlåt (2023)
Its just boring with no aim.
I wanted to switch this off after first 10 minutes, but my wife wanted to give it a chance, so here i go...
Main problem is how unlikable main character is. People in the movie try to cheer her up or have meaningful discussion, but her favourite response is always "You should go now" or similar one word answer. Its very slow paced, with completely no character development at all, aiming nowhere and it doesnt have reasonable conclusion either. This was marked as comedy, but there was no single funny moment.
Maybe if you enjoy to watch clinically depressed, emotionless person, which doesnt even try, for 90 minutes, then this movie is for you.
This is rated 6/10 on IMDB and i had strong urge to controbute to rating correction to where it belongs - 3-4/10.
In the Loop (2009)
Felt like cheap TV-Movie done bad
I have to admit both me and my wife could handle no more than 30 or so minutes of this so called 'movie'. I am not native English speaker but i am fairly good at it, can understand usually 95%+ movies and 100% normal dialogue. But in this flick they just swear so fast, i had to constantly watch subtitles to get just like 70%, and still half of that was really just swearing. I don't mind the swearing really, i swear a lot myself but this was clearly over productive. Not funny and annoying.
Real disaster was camera work. If you really want to see it, do yourself a mercy and watch it on as small screen as possible, since shaky camera and constant switches / zooming made us both dizzy and uncomfortable.
I usually like British movies, but this one was truly bad...
Designated Survivor (2016)
Started out good, but starting to be disaster
Well... where to begin. I liked the show from start and it looked like its heading good direction, but after 8 episodes, it just feels the show has not much to tell anymore and is desperately trying to fit the time frame.
As the show progresses, characters, especially those from FBI, are starting to behave utterly irrationally, its hard to even believe average sane person would be that stupid, just to save the suspense. Show is trying to depict president job as extremely busy, President is all the time interrupted in what he is doing by somebody else and is forced to make quick, not well informed decisions, because each 5 minutes he is needed elsewhere. I honestly don't want to even imagine it works like this in real, this is just asking for bad decisions and chaos.
More and more focus on unrelated emotions and relationships, when the show should rather focus on the story (Breaking Bad or Fargo are good examples of where they don't ruin the show by excessive sentimental cliché), i am not even sure i want to see next episode.
