Angel-A (2005)
Amazon meta-data said it was English audio; it's not. It's in French
Get the information right, folks. I can't watch this if I have to be reading subtitles all the time, and I'm not going to learn French just for this movie.
Balle perdue (2020)
Great action, good plot, one big problem
It's clear the actors are speaking French. That's ok, the English overdubs are done well. But whoever did the closed-captioning must have lived on a different continent and never talked to the vocal actors, not even once. That's the only explanation I can find for how the captions are totally, laughably different. I turn captions on especially for action movies in case I miss some dialog. It really gets in the way here because the dialog is completely different between captions and what's said in English. A fair number of movies have this issue, but it's the sign of a totally low-budget flick or else complete brainless inattention to this issue. I would tell Netflix in my review, but that lame streaming service doesn't allow for that kind of feedback. Just thumbs up or down now. So it gets my thumbs down, even though otherwise the movie isn't too bad.
Altered Carbon (2018)
Season 1 was great, season 2 is terrible
I don't know what happened, but as the most popular reviews are saying, it just isn't the same show. The writing has become erratic, the story cliche, the acting rough, the filmography sketchy. The roles seem to forget who they are and what they can do repeatedly. The heroes make stupid mistakes, some new weaker roles keep easily defeating them. It's almost like a new writer joined, read the outline, and started random new paths without bothering to review the details. Very sloppy, Netflix. And very disappointing.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013)
Used to be great but the writing has been going down
One step back, and then two steps back, and then...? Most of the last season was in space or on a partial earth, and out of time sequence. Most of the previous season was in a virtual reality world. The current season is also largely in space and around the universe, and the writing just keeps getting worse.
