Especially Tom Hanks. His portrayal of the life boar trauma was simply fantastic. We were right there sweating and shaking with him. So easy to believe it was all really happening. Just how they shot those inside lifeboat scenes is a mystery really. The motion, the closeness, the heat,the noise.

Of course at the end with Chief O'Brien as the medical officer...she and Hanks topped off the movie experience with such an award winning PTSD scene. Nobody could have even scripted those exchanges. They entirely real, even to some of the movie crew. Tom Hanks continues to impress me in all that he does. WOW.

Tried this because of Thierry Godard who I know from several French films, like SPIRAL. A good addition to MHz Networks. Story moves along, good child actor, who in fact brings out the fuller backstory. Don't really want to say more.....but review requires like 400 characters.

Heck, not wish to add spoilers.

The new detective shows some promise and obviously the guy she replaced was well liked, but went off the rails due to tragic accident.

See what you think about that?

Would have liked to see more episodes since they already had a nice cast, and cast of characters.. Maybe there are more. MHz Choice has some great stuff. For sure watch SPIRAL if you like gritty stories. It is a hit.

This one Copy Cat sort of sneaks up on you. Not sure where else you can find it. You are either a MHz world film watcher who doesn't mind subtitles, or you are a person who doesn't know other countries make great movies and happen to speak different languages? Really? You can go away.

Starts out slow...but slowly builds. The interplay of the characters is simply fantastic. The overall theme of LIFE AS A DANCE......is just exquisite and insightful. Still looking for a copy of this version, meaning with Mathew in the play. He was in Seattle for the live production. Saw it with Dan, a friend. We were so moved we saw it again the next matinee. The actors came out and chatted. They talked about many scenes but especially powerful was the 'spit' scene. During the rehearsals the actual spot was held back.....but at some late rehearsal it became real. For the actors and the crew that was a large moment...transition......sort of brought up the race issue we had right then in real time. It was quite a riveting live play AND discussion with the actors. Wish that production had been filmed. I do have a dvd of the one available on Amazon. Have had it for maybe 10 years. Can't seem to open it...watch it. Afraid it won't be a POWERFUL as my original experience. I will update with a review of that other version when I watch it.

If anyone knows where I can obtain a copy of these actors on DVD. I read that Danny Glover was on ¿Broadway? In it. Thanks, Brogan from Seattle.

Until a very sad ending....I'm getting to like this show more and more.
