The Locksmith (I) (2023)

Shocking story but some ok acting

[2/10 · 10 February 2023]

General story is incredibly badly written. The premise is made on the idea that the main character has very little common sense. So, f you get annoyed by people choosing the most obviously wrong choice for an entire film, avoid this.

Overall a dull story and frustrating to watch it unfold without wanting the scream at the screen at every choice by the main character.

The acting itself isn't bad and the cast work well together but they are held back by the poorly written dialogue.

If you don't get annoyed by asinine decisions throughout a movie then you may enjoy this but I couldn't deal with it.

The Watcher (2022– )

Another Netflix show which starts off well but struggles to close

[5/10 · 21 October 2022]

Another one of Netflix's shows which starts off strong with a good story and has a gripping episodes. However, as usual the story starts to fall apart as it gets past the halfway point.

The standard Netflix style of make the actors do ridiculously stupid things or have no common sense seems to be a strong part of the show in the later episodes.

During the first few episodes, they were quite gripping and provided some suspense at the end of their episodes. Then suddenly it gets to a point where the main characters decide to constantly have decisions or through processes, which are just questionable to say the least. These ridiculous moments lead the story to where they want it to go but just make it frustrating.
