The Blacklist: Mr. Solomon (No. 32): Conclusion (2016)
Where the hell is this show going
Time after time this show tries to reinvent itself. Time after time it fails. How stupid is Elizabeth and how stupider is the fawning pretend husband Tom? The more we get into this the more we don't want to watch it. It may be entertaining to the US audiences but it sure as hell isn't entertaining to anybody with a modicum of intelligence. Reddinton is very rarely wrong so when is Elizabeth finally going to realise that he has her best interest at heart if never, why carry on with it? it is pathetic, ill conceived and a wast of air time. the acting is shambolic and the only person which holds it together in any way is James Spader and he is rapidly losing credibility.
Unbroken (2014)
Completely missed the point
The whole point of the story is that Louie want from being a tearaway to being an Olympic athlete. Then when he joined the army air corps and was captured by the Japanese that prowess turned against him and he was berated for it. Following that there was a whole 'man's inhumanity to man' issue with 'The Bird' which is neither fully explained or really portrayed. The whole film skimps on the important parts of the book and tries to portray a sanitised story. It misses out so many characters both Japanese and allied.
Angelina Jolie should be ashamed
A very poor attempt at a fantastic book.
