"Let's film this movie 2,5 times and then release it before finishing the effects so the WB execs can get their bonuses faster". This movie has gotten worse every time I've seen it and especially after hearing what the film was going to be. I liked the acting and characters (Ezra Miller is hit and miss though). Danny Elfman's score was good.

I laughed once while watching this. But this wasn't one of those painfully awful comedy movie watching experiences it just wasn't funny to me.

All episodes binge-watched in 2,5 days. I got a bit scared that the last episode was ending in a cliffhanger but fortunately it did wrap up quite nicely but rapidly. Overall the show was acted, written and directed well. Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan were really good in the lead roles. I had only seen Dornan in The Siege of Jadotville, where he was also great so I wasn't that surprised and Gillian Anderson was great in Hannibal and X-Files of course. Also the supporting cast did great work too. The show is dark but it also felt very realistic. The serial killer isn't over the top character like in American shows and until the truths start to reveal he feels like normal family man and that is really scary idea. The slow revealing of his psyche and condition was so interesting to watch in the series. And Dornan was so good portraing this.

There wasn't that much material that I hadn't seen before but overall this was well done documentary and McGregor is entertaining to watch in the octagon and outside of it he is really funny person too.

Rewatch on bluray, I didn't change the rating: I had the same problems still but overall this is really fun and entertaining film.

Well, this story took some turns. First episode was pretty interesting but I got hooked in the second episode when the peace loving community starts carrying Uzis around and threatening other people and doing some bioterrorism. One of those stories that you wouldn't believe true if it was drama series with actors.

Entertaining action movie with good acting and that annoying editing style of modern action movies with so many cuts that it's hard to tell what's going on. The movie borrows things and moments from the reboot game but overall the film is it's own thing.

A non linear neo noir film made out of 5 long single take scenes. John Hawkes was the main reason I decided to watch this from Netflix and he is good in the lead role (I liked the bar scene with him singing and playing guitar most). The camera work in the film is also great, the opening scene was great and kinda hooked me in fast with the zoom and how the camera moved around and switched the character it followed.
