Elementary (2012–2019)

Sherlock Holmes is a detective in the present New York and is helped by Watson in controlling his drug addiction.

'Elementary' is a modern reimagining of the pair of detectives formed by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, in which Sherlock is a drug addict and Watson a woman. The tandem of the two and the chemistry of the actors work perfectly in the new recipe and the cleverness of the cases and the staging of the investigations are all elements that maintain the quality of the entire series at a high and constant level. To such an extent that those who have tasted Elementary will no longer be able to look at something like Criminal Minds with the same eyes.

The Tomorrow War (2021)

A physics teacher leaves his family to fight in a war 30 years in the future.

'The Tomorrow War' is a sci-fi action movie with some logic flaws, but a success in terms of entertainment. It's not anything special, but its heart is in the right place and the audience is not disappointed.

Rating: 7/10

The Hunt (2020)

12 strangers wake up in the middle of a forest where they discover without delay that they're about to become the objects of a human hunt.

'The Hunt' is a satirical thriller with slasher accents. It's fast paced, unexpected at the right times, cleverly written, with engaging dialogue and well-written and well-executed action sequences. The main character is delectably brought to life by the wonderful Betty Gilpin, and the whole audience can't help but cheer her both vocally and emotionally. Naturally, the plot has some holes, but that doesn't damage the overall highly satisfying entertainment effect.

Director:  Craig Zobel  

With: Betty Gilpin, Hilary Swank, Ike Barinholtz, Wayne Duvall, Ethan Suplee, Emma Roberts, Steve Coulter

Rating: 9/10
