Interceptor 2022
Unwatchable.
It's only 98 minutes long, but it feels like an eternity. To be fair, Elsa Pataky tried her hardest to act the part as written, but her character felt a lot like a Gal Gadot wannabe.

Having a film that tells the truth about growing up and the struggles that come with it is so important. I appreciated…
