Chaos Walking (2021)

An all-male human colony goes through a shock when a ship with a female pilot crashes nearby.

'Chaos Walking' is an adaptation of a beloved YA Sci-Fi novel. With a ridiculous idea (men's thoughts are constantly exposed to those around them), the film has something to say in terms of entertainment, but as an artistic creation, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Director:  Doug Liman    
With: Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Demián Bichir, David Oyelowo, Mads Mikkelsen

Rating: 6.3/10

Dom Hemingway (2013)

After being released from prison, Dom Hemingway tries to collect the debt he's owed because he did not talk to the police.

'Dom Hemingway' is a serious comedy with English gangsters. Violent as much makes sense, dramatic when Dom has to learn a lesson, and comical when Dom refuses the lesson. A little more tragic than expected in places, the film retains one's attention enough to create a satisfying experience.

Director:  Richard Shepard    
With: Jude Law, Richard E. Grant, Demián Bichir, Emilia Clarke

Rating: 7/10
