The Next Three Days (2010)
A story line that is a little soft became dramatic as the story built.
Great actors can give a story line a bit more cred. Such is the case with The Next Three Days. There were no fabricated story lines. But savvy twists that you were discovering with the actors to make their get away real. I found myself hoping it would work. Serious material handled in a no nonsense form. I enjoyed this movie.
Russell Crowe was strong, sensitive, and believable as a husband, father and lover in a damn tough spot. Elizabeth Banks tossed in her share of 'what other choice do I have moments'. And Liam Neeson set up a credible cameo with just enough toughness. The older Luke (Ty Simpkins) could have had a bit more leeway to be more rebellious and would have enhanced his role.
The Bear: Next (2024)
Action - NOT !!
What am I missing here? Dialogue? Yup. If this was any more repetitive and mind numbing I won't need a fast forward button. Thank gad I have one. I have been using the FF button a lot on way too many of these episodes.
In this episode there was no action. Every character didn't move two feet from the preparation station ! Riveting - NOT.
Here is a bit of what I'm attempting to describe.

It's too redundant !
The Bear: Fishes (2023)
Intense - yes. Ugly - Oh yeah.
Not sure the extreme evidence that addiction can destroy, hurt, and isolate people who are supposed to care and love one another as family. But with only one spoiler that should have been realized in this series by now - is the whole family has addiction issues.
This was painful to watch. I fast forwarded through every segment. It was like a Hallmark movie, I got it in the first three minutes! I didn't need it jammed down my throat for an entire 40 minute episode!
If you like to feel most uncomfortable - have at it. But I don't think you need to watch it to gleam any insight to the story line. Good acting - OK. But a car chase scene (in other movies) is more exciting than this episode.
Tomato Red (2017)
This movie goes nowhere very slowly.
No direction, no interaction between actors, and no storyline! If you watch this and don't agree in the first 15 minutes you're going to waste the rest of the hour and a half you watch this movie. What a shame for Julia Garner who carried Ozark in many episodes. But wasted or lost her talents in this snoozer. So let me put it like this if you read this twice you may get the message.
