Cowboy Bebop (2021)

A group of bounty hunters often become accidental heroes in a world of space travel.

'Cowboy Bebop' is a live-action adaptation of a much-loved anime series. Full of adventures that somehow bring the main character back around the same typical and obvious antagonist, Cowboy Bebop could have evolved into something special with a slightly longer life than it's been allowed. Not being received by the fans as desired, the series suffers from an unfair underappreciation.

Mercy Black (2019)

Un grup de trei fete comit acte oribile in numele unei entitati. 15 ani mai tarziu, una din ele este eliberata dintr-o institutie de psihiatrie si descopera ca ideea lor a devenit virala, cu inclusiv nepotul ei obsedat de fenomen.

Un horror/thriller de calibru mic, dar eficient in ideile sale preluate (elemente din Phenomena sunt imprumutate in mod neasteptat). Amesteca realismul thriller-elor in mod convingator cu misticisme horror, facand rezultatul un pic inegal si nesigur de directia abordata. Finalul reuseste sa repare din stangaciile acumulate pana atunci.

Regia/scenariu: Owen Egerton

Cu: Daniella Pineda, Austin Amelio, Elle LaMont, Janeane Garofalo

Rating: 7/10
