Girl at the Window (2022)
Worth a watch
This movie gets a hard time from reviewers but as thrillers go, I rate it better than sixty percent of what I've watched.
It did keep me guessing and there were a couple of proper scary moments thrown in. The acting was pretty good overall, most characters were convincing and it had a fairly strong plot that admittedly could have been fleshed out more.
On the negative side, the serial killer is rather unconvincing and the police failure to find him also. All in all as a thriller fan, I was pleasantly surprised having read some pretty terrible reviews.
So I would recommend giving it a go. If you don't agree then you can thumbs down this review.
Occupied (2011)
Possibly the worst movie ever
Just like the movie, I don't even know where to start. Literally nothing happens for the first forty minutes and then anything that happens after that (not a lot btw) makes any sense. Two characters in the entire movie, three if you count the two minute appearance of a next door neighbour. I will not comment on the kids performance because, well she's a kid. The performance of the main protagonist, a seemingly deranged young lady was the most unconvincing I have seen in years. To be fair to her, there was literally no plot. No background to her insanity, no context whatsoever to the entire movie, a few absolutely useless titbits like a mysterious locked office, a strange demonic notebook, security cameras everywhere but none of them where ever explained or in anyway relevant. Absolute garbage from start to finish. I would give one star but that's just mean.
Shantaram (2022)
Excelent
I read the book many moons ago and have since recommended it to all my friends who subsequently read and loved it also. I was super excited when I heard about the upcoming TV series and have not been disappointed. Yes, of course there are the little let downs such as changes to event sequences and some settings. Some characters are not how I imagined them but all such misgivings are forgotten by the end of episode one. The acting and scene setting is very good and the infusion of humour into life threatening scenarios serves to lighten the experience. In short, an excellent adaptation and thoroughly enjoyable.
