Crooks (2024)
Excellent series - keeps you engaged!
The series captivates with its compelling narrative, keeping viewers glued to their screens. It offers a raw, unapologetic depiction of the underworld, distinct from conventional portrayals by other directors or movies. The creators spare no detail in showcasing the harsh realities and violence of the underground scene. Through a diverse cast of characters and cultural influences from across Europe, the show delivers a fast-paced, action-packed experience that seamlessly weaves together various plot-lines into one cohesive narrative. The slight friction between Germany and Austria is entertaining in terms of language specifics / the way how close and far from each other the two countries are. Worth watching! Thumbs up!
Road House (2024)
Missed opportunity
The movie is kind of ok-ish, if you don't have anything else to watch or to do! I am surprised about the missed opportunity that the remake could have turned into - although there are action scenes and a lot of muscles involved, the whole time I had the feeling of slow motion story development. I am not sure what was the aim of the movie - to get Amazon pay for kind of "original content" and deliver this result OR nobody else wanted to invest in the product. The 80s are still "in", you could have tried and added something from that period, but properly. I am not sure if 5 stars is not too high...
The Gentlemen (2024)
The tv series is needed
From the beginning till the end you will be part of a world full of witty dialogues, dark humour and you will never know what the next scene would bring! I watched it over the weekend and after that I wanted "more" so I rewatch the movie ;) For me personally it's a 10 because of the storyline, great cast and something refreshing I was looking for quite some time!
The delicate balance between aristocracy and the gangster world, the development of the script and every new line can bring one to a delight of time wisely spent! I would definitely want to see a second season and track how the main characters will develop and what would be the next challenge to world domination! Thumbs up!
