Knives Out fits that bill. Twisty, funny, whodunit. Great cast.

Red notice. They have changed the story and characters enough to make this a nonsense. I guess this way, it is cheaper to film, but, it's just not the same story.

Inside out. Quite enjoyed it.

Not read the book so was spared that particular disappointment.

The Next Three Days. From 2010 but never seen it. Really enjoyed it despite it being over 2 hours long.

Just watched it; it is indeed bizarre & shocking. A good watch but if you don't get angry then there's something not right.

I stuck through it. Endured would be a better word. My wife gave up (more sense than me).
Only reason I watched it was to see who would turn up from the original. Turns out everyone. So it was the same characters doing the same jokes, plus clips from the original movie too. It wasn’t a sequel it was an homage to the original, totally pointless.
It reminded me of those Friends episodes which are just clips stitched together from previous series.

Watched The White Tiger on Netflix after a recommendation on here, pretty good and worth a watch.

Zack Snyders’s Justice League.
A big improvement on the cinema version but at 4hrs he’s having a laugh. I reckon he could have done it in under 3 without compromising anything.

Escape from Pretoria; 'twas okay but from the fuss about it I was expecting more.
Is it just me or does anyone else tend to end up being a little underwhelmed by the Made for Sky/ Amazon exclusive/Netfix only films that are being churned out?

Broke my recent policy of viewing 'known quantities' only and wished I hadn't bothered...
The Sisters Brothers didn't, for me, cut it as a 7+ IMDb rated watch...

It's a pity they totally misrepresented the role of the British Embassy in the story.

Finally got round to watching Contagion, scary how true it became.?
Think I've got the delights of Aquaman tonight ?

Start with low expectations and you will be okay. It's oddly bad in a way that is slightly endearing.
The upside is it's not Wonder Woman 2, I'm still bitter about paying to watch that rubbish.

CGI overload, my head hurts, 2/10.
I wouldn't argue against that score. The bizarre thing is it actually made a lot of money

Saw Dark Waters last night - excellent film and a must watch. A 7.6 on IMDB, with a great performance from Mark Ruffalo. The second half was a slight dip in quality over the first but a really good film of a shocking subject matter that everyone should see

I really enjoyed it, amazing how different the 2 versions are.
I did not mind the 4 hours, actually thought the time passed pretty quickly. I guess part of it was because for a long time it was uncertain whether it would be released as a film or a mini series, hence the episodes. Still, was an interesting experiment that is unlikely to be repeated often outside of these unique times, to allow a director to complete his version of a film unhindered by Cinema run times.
