    Would have made a good episode of COLUMBO or something but hardly worth dragging yourself to the cinema for. Also you NEED the option of being able
    to fast-forward Toni Collette, unpleasant at the best of times she just
    looks HARROWING in this.

    To think she is the same age as me. I suppose that's the difference between being a sun-worshipper and a devil-worshipper.

    I was moderately entertained by the film, but found it relied too much on
    lucky coincidences/timing. Nowhere near as clever as some would have you believe.

    The first film I watched in 2020 was FORD V FERRARI (AKA LE MANS '66).
    Almost certainly going to be the best film I see this year, so I probably should have stopped there.

    I thought the same about John Wick 3.

    There's an interesting cartoon on Netlix that isn't aimed at five year old girls you could try:

    I like Knives Out a lot. Yes the plotting is hokey at times, but that's
    part of the genre. It was great fun to watch a movie with great actors
    batting smartly written dialogue back and forth, like a tennis match [if
    tennis didn't suck]. And Christopher Plummer remains a treasure whom we
    take far too easily for granted.

    "The Silent Partner" 1977 was one of his greatest turns!!
    One of the most vile villains in screen history in a movie that is rarely seen any more!!

    An excellent film. Plummer's character is brutal.

    Well, I'll just skip the cinema & watch it.
