Bad Samaritan (2018)

Two burglars target a house where they discover a woman is being held captive.

'Bad Samaritan' is a non mainstream thriller. The idea is not original, but interesting, and the cast quite appealing. And yet it loses a lot of value due to plot holes and inconsistencies that are hard to overlook.

Director:  Dean Devlin    

With: David Tennant, Robert Sheehan, Kerry Condon, Carlito Olivero

The Umbrella Academy (2019–2023)

A family of superpowered individuals reunite after the death of their father.

"The Umbrella Academy" is a fantasy, adventure, action series, mixed with some comedy and quirkiness. The graphic novel origins are felt at every step, and the charm of the whole is based on the character building and their interaction. With a much more interesting first season, when the mystery and the unknown can be used as a promising asset, the rest of the seasons remain intriguing enough to continue watching.

Director:  Jeremy Webb and others

Production:  Netflix   

Creator:  Steve Blackman, Jeremy Slater   

Duration:  4 (3 released so far, 1 to go this year) seasons of 10 episodes (1 hour each)

Mortal Engines (2018)

O poveste cu conspiratii descoperite de doi eroi atipici intr-o lume fantezista, postapocaliptica.

Un filme fantezie plin de culoare numai la propriu. O poveste fada intr-o lume fantezista interesanta dar improbabila, in care nici macar personajele negative nu sunt destul de interesante. Se merita doar pentru fanii cartilor.

Regia:  Christian Rivers      

Cu:  Hera Hilmar, Robert Sheehan, Hugo Weaving, Jihae

Rating: 6/10
