Terminal (2018)

A female assassin hatches subtle plans to steal the clientele from the competition.

'Terminal' is a modern film noir, full of the typical elements of the genre: the femme fatale, men of dubious character, the gentleman, treasonous plans and sunset-type lighting. The film manages to score points in terms of style, but the story is not strong or surprising enough.

Director:  Vaughn Stein    
With: Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg, Dexter Fletcher, Mike Myers, Max Irons

Rating: 7/10
