A neo-horror flick about how the criminally aggressive US health care system is hell bent on crushing the working class out of existence after stealing all their money, and an evil God that will do everything in his power to prevent you from saving your daughter's life on your own unless you get on your knees and beg. Scary shit.
Solid near future dystopia thriller. I enjoyed it.
The acting. I need to start at the acting before anything. Every single person on that screen was every inch of believable. Even that dog, the dog, amazed me with its acting skills.
Next up is the cinematography, it was filmed almost like a documentary and I think that's what makes this different from most movies for sure. I loved feeling like these characters were real.
The story and the dialogue are both top-notch, and the ending is very controversial, I'd say. Also, the soundtrack is both soothing and chaotic. I love it.
The only reason I'm not giving it a higher level is because I didn't feel connected enough to any of the characters to care enough. The case itself is interesting, but the answers are too thin.
Having been a die-hard fan of the video games I have high hopes (but low expectations) that this show will be awesome! I felt Silo had a very Fallout feel to them and if this is at least as good as Silo has been then this will be a winner!
A high quality production of a really shocking story. I went in blind, hadn't heard about this case before, and I couldn't believe how it transpired. A very emotional watch with an outcome that could have been different if it were not, yet again, for police corruption and incompetence. I've watched some sensationalised, low-quality true crime recently and I felt that this one was empathetic and coherent in its retelling of events. The victims voices are centered from the very start and the case is detailed in a refreshingly succinct three-parter. There are some loose threads which I really wish had been answered (such as why did Muller want Andrea? who else was involved when Denise heard people come to the house?) but I am just so relieved it was resolved thanks to Det. Carauso!
This movie is being targeted by the far right across the internet. Don't take any ratings or comments as useful information, you're on your own for this one. Maybe just watch it and find out. It's perfectly fine for children to watch, so maybe just put it on and find out. The only way it's not suitable for children is if you have a middle-aged man shouting at the screen behind them.
[tv+] Throughout this kind of anthology that establishes connections between the characters, there are some stories that are more interesting than others, especially as it moves forward in time and show more distant possible futures. It isn't so much a question of imagining a future marked by climate change, but of forecasting, based on current scientific data, what life in our society would be like in forty years from now. There is less dystopia to propose some solutions through bioengineering, and although it is inevitably discursive, the proposal is more interesting than usual.
SUPER excited for this. The Silo series books were fantastic, and I always thought they would make a great movie or show. Fingers crossed that the show is just as interesting as the books!
I’m not sure what the end of the film says about the questions it initially asks, but it was a mindless afternoon watch and you could do much worse this Halloween season.

Season 4 is lame compared to previous seasons (except episode 1). Not much happening, too much drama and emotions, not much shooting or real story lines. The main story of ‘who shot John’ and Jamie visiting the prison to find out his father did it bled dead and instead they fill the episodes with all these stupid emo shit. The airport plan is just taggling along, wtf they just killed this guy with the snake who was STILL fishing in the stream next to Dutton, random shit happening.
This is a very unpopular opinion but I really like this series. You could see how much effort they put into it, not only musically but also cinematography. The camera shots were distinctive, outstanding fight choreography and funny dialogues. I know many people would disagree with me since it wasn't purely accurate to the anime... But you have to think of this: If it was a full copy of the Anime, it would be quite boring. Besides, not everything that is animated you can shoot on screen. People always neglect that! Therefore, you have to consider this series as separate from the Anime, then you can probably enjoy it.
For me, I enjoyed it a lot and hope they make a second season despite of the stigma
Edit: Unfortuneately, the second season got cancelled. But there is also a petition for it. So if you want more of Cowboy Bebop, you can support them on the following link:

The rating I’m going to give for Bingo Hell is for a “B” movie rating. I’d give it a solid 8. The performances are good and the movie has a good gimmick and made me laugh my ass off.
If you love B horror movies your miles may vary, but I really enjoyed it.
So far most of the comments I've seen here have been pretty negative. Personally I very much enjoyed the movie taking it as a fun action ride. Yes, there's been plenty of time loop based movies, but the combination of the good fight scenes, little comical points and nods to other movies combined with the time travel aspects made it to me highly enjoyable. Overall I thought the acting was pretty good for this type of movie from the Grillo, Gibson and Watts and on the whole it was an enjoyable watch.
Let's remember, we never watched the old 80s movies with the classic action stars because they were going to win oscars, they were about having a bit of over the top mindless fun. And this for me fit the bill well
