Now, I know that there is a growing theory that Daniel is the bad guy and he won using an illegal move, I am not sure that I can agree with that. Much like First Blood where Rambo isn't really the good guy, Daniel isn't the bad guy. Everyone is wrong, including the girl.

Specifically, there is this lawyer that I just couldn't stand. I will say that my wife liked a character that I felt was a waste of time so take that into the mindset of if you like people or not. Overall, I thought they did a good job, just a lot of it felt like it was over the top.
Movies
I have to say that acting is incredible. I don't think there is a person who doesn't miss, minus Anthony Ramos, who also missed in Ironheart. There is one scene relatively late that caught me so off guard that I had to back the movie up and catch it again.

Brad Pitt is hit or miss with me and this one is a grand slam. He is outstanding and you really get to see his natural charisma. The young driver, Damson Idris, I could leave. I am not sure if it is the actor or the character, but I just can't stand him. I will have to watch him in something else
TV
It was a catastrophe of epic proportions in living up to that. Investigating these types of events is what I do for a living, and so I wanted it to be good, but talk about doing the bare minimum to make the language right and tossing it aside.
TV
Speaking of the second season. The last episode of the second season look me probably 4 hours to finish. It was terrible. The fights, boring. The story in the final episode, negates most of the entire season. They knew the show was ending and threw it in the trash.
Movies
The story also highly predictable. From the git go, the breadcrumbs are laid in front of you like bread loafs. From the gaslighting to the overall plot, it is one of the most predictable stories ever. Especially when you see the mad sprint the movie takes. 1.5 hours of running through the story.
TV
How they did the age of the show, i.e., the old cars, decor, style in the house, etc. is so well done. I am honestly not sure how they do it so well 50 years later or so. It really helps you feel what how things happened. I do feel there are some modern language patterns that make no sense
TV
The other two standouts are Tom Pelphrey and Emilia Jones. Tom took a bit to grow on me, but when he does, his actions become so clear. Emilia, who plays Maeve, I've never seen or heard of I don't think. But she came out swinging in this show and easily took one of the top spots
Movies
I know the importance of what the United States did for the world, the blunders it had, the errors it continues to make, and ultimately the level of corruption that took place under the guise of "National Security." I say all that knowing that I am still proud to have served my country Post-9/11
Movies
The musicality of this movie is good. My favorite scene is when Denzel and the kidnapper have this educational rap battle. It reminds me of the fluidity on Transformed and how there is a rhythm to the spoken word, not just the rhyme.
Movies
I don't know how to even start this. This is my LEAST favorite Christopher Nolan film and I don't know why people love it so much. Was that acting good? For sure. Was the movie good? Meh.
