Synchronic (2019)

Two paramedics encounter very bizarre consequences caused by overdoses of a new and popular drug.

'Synchronic' is a sci-fi film with melodramatic accents. Interesting, beautifully made, and with characters that the viewer cares about. It tries to asks philosophical questions related to the evolution of evil, the evolution of humanity and the effect on nature, without forgetting the heart of the action.

Director:  Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead   

With: Anthony Mackie, Jamie Dornan, Katie Aselton, Ally Ioannides

Rating: 8/10

The Woman in the Window (2020)

An agoraphobe witnesses a crime in the across the street neighbor's house.

'The Woman in the Window' is a thriller, adapted from a popular book, like many genre titles of the last 10 years. Amy Adams is worth watching, but many of the situations are a bit too pathetic to be taken seriously. The movie isn't terrible, but it isn't great either.

Director:  Joe Wright   

With: Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Fred Hechinger, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Wyatt Russell

Rating: 6.5/10

Outside the Wire (2021)

Un pilot de drona sa alatura unui supersoldat ca pedeapsa pentru insubordonare.

Un film de actiune ce amesteca multe genuri intr-un mod destul de echilibrat. Exista elemente de razboi, elemente SF si elemente de filme cu spioni si elemente de pura actiune. Povestea e destul de originala sa creeze interes si face destul uz de imitatie pentru a pastra acel interes.

Regia:  Mikael Håfström      

Cu: Anthony Mackie, Damson Idris, Enzo Cilenti, Emily Beecham, Pilou Asbæk

Rating: 7/10
