Taken (2017)
Give it a chance; could potentially be a great show
2017 is the year of pilots after well-known successful movie franchises. It is a classic revenge story about a loner military type character.
Training day was not that good. I am not going to watch it.
I was not hopeful for this one too. But I was pleasantly surprised.
Firstly, the lead is a good choice, the actor who played the brother in Vikings. He had the charisma and alpha male look and most importantly talented enough to handle the dramatic scenes.
Action scenes was alright but could be better. Story was good for a pilot which made me curious enough to watch it next week.
Don't hesitate because they are using a well known franchise. This show could be potentially great.
A Street Cat Named Bob (2016)
Inspiring story with a whiff of melodrama
If you are looking for a story based on real life about a cat saving an addict street musician, this might be the movie for you.
Ad addicts life has been told millions of times but this movie captures the ups and down without emphasizing too much of the highly dramatic struggles like withdrawals. It shows that life is full of struggles no matter who you are or even what you are :)
Screenplay, directing and editing was on point. I don't think there was one scene which was out of place or boring.
Lead actor was a great choice as well as the supporting cast. Of course Bob did a great job too :)
If you are looking for a realistic story this might be the one for you. Trust me you will feel inspired, hopeful, and happy after watching it.
24: Legacy (2016)
Nothing can touch the original but it is promising
So after reading a lot of hateful reviews against the show, I had to say my two piece.
Definitely not at the level of the original show with Keifer Sutherland as the lead. The lead actor is not bad but he does not have the charisma that we 24 lovers are used to.
On the other hand this show definitely does not deserve a 6/10.
It has the same ingredients as the original. suspense, action and good acting. Casting shows promise to me except the lead. Maybe he will grow on me in time.
If you are die heard fan of 24 give it a chance but don't except the same satisfaction you would get from the best season of 24.
If you never watched 24, definitely watch it as it is a good start as an action series which is rare these days. For maximum pleasure try to watch it in bulks other than week per week.
Quid Pro Quo (2008)
A film that leads to self-realization and restoration; that ends beautifully with a touch of reality
I watch a lot films; in a week it differs from 5 to 10. This screenplay was unique in way that made me think about myself and life and how vulnerable we are.
These two very interesting characters where the moment you met them you want to learn more about them is acted by two very talented actor/actress named Nick Stahl and elegant Vera Farmiga. Before the half of the movie I presumed the big twist about the Nick's character but it was hidden and portrayed in a fine way that when the answer is shown to the audience, you don't feel so much surprise but also you don't feel cheated in any way. Hence, it feels like life itself.
Consequently, the ending which was very beautiful cinematographically with a touch of reality that makes it absolutely delicious that leads to pause when Nick's character ends the film with the line: Isacc Knott, Public Radio, New York.
