The story lines are so drawn out like watching something in slow motion
The production is very clever because it literally goes around in circles and very limited story lines which are padded out for long periods with out much happening ...watch it and you will see what I mean but my wife loves it !!!

A View to a Kill
(1985)
Looking back 36 years and it stands up well
29 October 2021
I just rewatched A View to a Kill and in my opinion it is a good fun movie that holds up well but when it first came out I did think it was a little ridiculous but 36 years later I view it completely differently which is strange and Christopher Walken was excellent .

You Brits are so lucky!!
21 September 2021
I must say you Brits are spoilt with great TV drama and this is no exception.
Reading the other reviews are great fun and you cannot please some people.
This mini series is just a story but the majority of us really do not worry about if something is accurate or exactly correct because its entertainment for one to enjoy and watch something different.

The Squeeze
(1977)
Great British Movie
19 August 2021
Filming looks like July and August of 1976 with the "Heatwave" and all the actors are sweating a lot .
As soon as the UK Government appointed a Minister of Drought in late August the Heatwave broke just before I went back to school and this was all before Global warming or Climate change !!
This film is a hidden gem and I cannot understand why its never been broadcast on UK tv screens.

The Train
(1964)
Near perfect story telling with Lancaster & Scofield Brilliant
20 July 2021
Its lucky Arthur Penn got sacked after 3 days of being director on this movie on the instructions of Burt Lancaster or we would be watching a completely different film.
I have watched this a couple of times and its just incredible and Burt Lancaster was really one of the greatest actors and just such an interesting actor to watch plus his stunts and his whole body language and how he holds his body plus the film is just wonderful in B + W and it makes you feel you are in 1944 Its a unknown film underrated and very exciting and you feel the tension.

Edge of Darkness
(2010)
Very very underrated movies
13 July 2021
I expect you have stumbled on this great movie and wondering to yourself how you missed it first time around !!
I have watched it a number of times over the years and never get bored with it and Mel Gibson is a very fine actor and is well worth watching in this thriller.

Young Wallander
(2020–2022)
Very good drama on Netflix
24 May 2021
I see alot of people complaining that most of the actors are english speakers but the biggest market for selling a TV series is the english speaking World
Anyway it is very well done and the lead actor is excellent and I think he is Swedish so whats the problem.
Die Another Day
(2002)
6 for entertainment but script written by a BUNCH of idiots
23 May 2021
I remember watching this 19 years ago and thought what a ridiculous plot and today I rewatched it and THAT CAR " appeared and you have to laugh or cry and why such a ridiculous story and why Iceland and nothing original and lucky Jason Bourne arrived on the scene or James Bond would of continued on a downward spiral.
You have to watch it and the first 40 minutes is quiet good but suddenly the storyline is taken over by someone that has other ideas !!! Anyway he was never asked back and he was sent back to his ice cave in Antartica after having a 2 week holiday in North Korea.

An excuse for Morse to go on holiday
10 May 2021
Sorry but in my opinion which isnt worth much !!! The filming and settings are beautiful and the British public must of lapped it up in 1992 but the story is all over the place and Morse has got more power than Interpol or Europol
Not sure I watched this back in 1992 but just watched it today and Morse and Lewis need to get back to Oxford sharpish and leaving the reservation for this story is just an excuse for a holiday .
Harry Brown
(2009)
All OAPs should watch this and get inspiration ( Maybe move to the Cotswolds)
7 April 2021
I last watched this 11 years and thought it was very well done and really shows off the real side of Britain ...Everyone likes to see villages with cute little pubs but this is the face of inner city Britain with all its social problems .
Sir Michael Caine nails his part in this film and maybe one of his finest films.

Storytelling doesnt get much better than this
30 March 2021
This series is incredible and its a must see
Writing and acting are a pleasure to watch and listen to.
Superb and wonderful and very thought provoking .
Television at its best and why do the British make such good programs across the board.
