Read a synopsis for this movie and thought oh just an other Cop show and was pleasantly surprised, our lead character played by Naomie Harris was quite good and backed up by Tyrese Gibson as a reluctant helper.
What I liked about this movie was it maintained a believable story line but best of all there was a constant tension after about 15 minutes into it and right up to the end of the movie.
Black and Blue is quite watchable especially if you like Cop movies with corrupt cops as the plot line, I gave it a seven (7) as it was much better than a lot of the B grade rubbish on offer these days.
I am amazed at the low reviews for "The Kitchen" it's a Clich'e but did the bad reviewers watch the same movie as me?
Firstly not a big fan of Melissa McCarthy after some of her recent movies however the story line attracted my attention of three women taking over their husbands protection racket after the go to goal for 3 or so years.
Once the Ladies get it all under control the neighbourhood gets cleaned up and all the shopkeepers are happy even an adjoing Mob want to make deals with them.Problems arise in the third half of the movie when the husbands get out of prison.
Its not a comedy or serious drama definatly no Sopranos to be seen and not Oscar material however it is entertaing all the Actors played their parts ok,the story line is ok more could have been done with it.
Melissa McCarthy has redeemed herself a bit in this movie for me and always enjoy seeing Elizabeth Moss in anything.Worth a watch even if your not a gangster genre Fan,gave it a rating of 8,just to help it along I hope.
We love a good Detective show however did not know what to expect from Carnival Row and it took us by surprise, Its got everything covered - Murder Mystery, Fairies, Fantasy,Monster, Love Story etc. and of course some tasteful sex scenes and filmed In A dark Moody Victorian Era setting.
Orlando Bloom was excellent as the troubled Detective, Cara Delevingne as the love interest (First time I had seen her ) The rest of the cast all great characters.
This may not be a series for every one but worth pointing out you have nothing to compare it to in the past,
The First Episode may seem a little slow, stay with it by the end of the second one you will be hooked. We gave it a 9/10. Worth mentioning my wife and I are both in our early 70,s so it is a series for 18+ years of age.
