Bullet Train (2022)

An unlucky assassin boards a train for a basic mission, but realizes that other assassins are around, having similar intentions.

'Bullet Train' is an action comedy with caricaturist elements, in a similar style to Kick-Ass or Smokin' Aces. Imperfect, but it still keeps the viewer's gaze glued to the screen, curiosity and fascination winning in front of such a rich palette of atypical characters, with unusual traits and the interesting interaction between them.

The Harder They Fall (2021)

A famous gunman uses his gang to take revenge on the man who killed his parents, right after hearing news that the man is about to be released from prison.

'The Harder They Fall' is a western that's full of action and melodic choreography and originality, which does not necessarily come from the script but from the way the script was written and enacted. The music has become an undeclared witness to the events and very effectively maintains the harmony and choreographic balance of the meticulously arranged scenes. The story itself has a few plot holes, but this fact somehow fades when it is balanced with the general artistic and stylistic effect.

Director:  Jeymes Samuel      

With: Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, RJ Cyler, Edi Gathegi, Damon Wayans Jr., Regina King, LaKeith Stanfield, Idris Elba
