Reckoning (2019)
slimy slam
I also did not find any of the characters likable,and found the whole thing to be hallmark-ish and with a liberal slant. Mostly I did not appreciate the positive slant on drug use by the wife (paige) and neighbor boyfriend. I certainly did not like one very openly obvious and other subtle underhanded offensive slams against our president. I should have turned it off right there.
The Coolest Guy Movie Ever: Return to the Scene of The Great Escape (2018)
Brings back memories
This was a good overview of the movie production and its filming locations for one of my all time favorite films. I enjoyed seeing the location and beautiful landscape details of the set where it was filmed, a region in Bavaria where I visited a couple of years ago (but I did not know of the movie setting at the time).
But I was a little disappointed that little or no mention was made of the actual prison camp location at Stalag Luft III near Zagan, in Poland. I also visited there a couple of years ago, were there is a reproduction prison barracks and a museum portraying the actual escape event, including the actual tunnels and WWII memorabilia from the camp. The local people and the museum staff are dedicated to the memory of Steve McQueen and the entire movie cast, whom they seem to genuinely love. Well worth the trip.
