The Killer 2023

★★½ Watched 29 Nov 2023

There is a certain élan about the audacity of the opening section of monologue and meticulous observation of preparation for a shooting and a genuinely engaging sequence with Tilda Swinton's 'Expert' but the rest is a rather uninteresting catalogue of fights and kills associated with a revenge plot which seems wholly unearned. This is accompanied by the protagonist's continuous recitation of his credo which deliberately veers towards the absurd but could have been far better mined for black comedy.
Soul Kitchen 2009

★★★ Watched 28 Nov 2023

Genial, fast paced, farce adjacent comedy which becomes very broad in the final stretches, probably to its ultimate disadvantage.

Tenet 2020

½ Watched 05 Sep 2020 1

A film which is indeed a ‘temporal pincer movement’: very very boring going forwards and very very boring going backwards. Xanax is also a palindrome. Better to take one than watch this nonsense.
Moving 2019

★★★★ Watched 02 Nov 2019

At a mere 8 minutes this wonderfully conceived short manages to imbue the attempt to carry a mattress solo up a flight of stairs with the full gamut of life's frustrations until by the end you feel as if you have conquered Everest and then had a fit of the giggles.
