I find it bizarre that so many reviewers of this movie have either given it a 10 or <3. The movie deserves none of these (extreme) ratings. It's a solid Middle East thriller that doesn't seem to be too far fetched given what's gone on in that part of the world over the past few decades. However, it's certainly no classic yet, it still kept me interested.

I'm lead to understand the budget was on the low side so for what its worth, I think the quality of cinematography was good as well.

Give it a watch...

I was wondering why this show had a lower rating than I'd expect. Then, I read the reviews. Can't we go 5 mins without bleating about the politics? Basically, the left thought it stereotyped race and the right though it normalised illegal immigration or some such rubbish. The rest of the low scores complained about the fact that the main character Ben couldn't speak Spanish (a fair point which is why I took off a point and settled for an 8).

Anyway, I found Coyote to be well paced with a nicely developing story that gets you quite interested in the characters. Although it's no Breaking Bad, I get the feeling that was where they were aiming.

So, I can thoroughly recommend this if you can leave your politics at the door and enjoy it for the fiction that it is.

I read the plot of Ted Lasso and though, meh, bit corny. But, having watched it, I found the characters are great and they actually get better with each episode! No spoilers here, just to say if you're a bit down and this doesn't lift your spirit, seek help. 😉
