Pieces of Her (2022– )

A young woman, uncertain about her life choices, suddenly finds herself in a completely unknown world on the day her mother defends her from an armed assailant in a surprising manner.

'Pieces Of Her' is a thriller miniseries, with a strong plot and more or less charismatic and relatable main characters. The first 4 episodes fills the viewer with enough tension and intrigue to keep curiosity at an intense and constant level, but as the details begin to be revealed, the mystery is less impressive and the overall effect is much diluted, with a final twist that can be seen from a great distance.

Blind Fury (1989)

A Vietnam veteran, blind but an expert in martial arts involving sword fighting, is looking for his best friend but is forced by circumstances to protect his son in his absence.

'Blind Fury' is a typical B action movie from the 80's. With Rutger Hauer in the lead role, this film was a subjective favorite for many a childhood before the times invented action movies made with class and  written by screenwriters who know what they're doing. 

Director:  Phillip Noyce   

With: Rutger Hauer, Terry O'Quinn, Brandon Call, Noble Willingham, Lisa Blount, Nick Cassavettes, Meg Foster

Rating: 8/10
