Streaming Sleepers: In Rae Red’s THE GIRL AND THE GUN, A High-Caliber Emotional Gut Punch

A young sales clerk (Janine Gutierrez) is under appreciated at work and faces soul crushing challenges both professionally and emotionally in the big city. After a horrific event at work, she finds a revolver that changes her demeanor, giving her confidence and a way to even the odds in a misogynistic and cruel world. All the while she is unaware that the gun has had a dark journey of its own before finding itself in her hands. The solo debut feature by director Rae Red, The Girl and the Gun is the story of both the girl AND the gun in an intertwining tale that calls to mind similar crime films using a nonlinear storytelling format. Dripping with style, as well as featuring a powerfully devastating performance by the excellent and doe-eyed Gutierrez, this feature is an enthrallingly dark and gritty tale of the darkness that violence begets as well as how […]

SQUAD 36 Review: Olivier Marchal´s latest action thriller lands in Netflix with a potential that doesn’t go full throttle.

A crime thriller directed by veteran director Oliver Marchal, based on a novel by Michel Tourscher titled “Flics Requiem,” Novel that was initially conceived as a sequel to Marchal’s film, “36 Quai des Orfevres.” The film follows Antoine Cerda (Victor Belmondo), a police officer with unorthodox methods, who investigates the death of some colleagues, stumbling upon a network of police corruption that he will try to uncover. The cast is led by Victor Belmondo, grandson of the legendary Jean-Paul Belmondo. The heir to such an illustrious film surname holds his own well as the protagonist, although comparisons to his grandfather are odious and unfair. Because who could live up to someone as unique and unrepeatable as the protagonist of gems like “The Professional” or “Breathless?” Exactly, no one… Not even his grandson, who bears a strong physical resemblance to the star. Squad 36 has a powerful start with good action […]

THE SHADOW STRAYS 2 Is In The Works!

A sequel is officially in development at Netflix for Indonesian action thriller, The Shadow Strays, according to a social media post by Timo Tjahjanto on Friday. The director also hinted at the return of actress Aurora Ribero in a caption he wrote saying “She will return.” The line is a likely reference to Ribero’s portrayal of “13,” a member of an elite clandestine organization of ninja-like assassins whose forced hiatus in Jakarta results in a violent investigation into the murder of a young boy’s mother. Her quest escalates into an all-out war with a gang of politically-connected criminals, as well as her own organization. The film throws in a lot of moving pieces that definitely set up more story arcs, so this would be an ample opportunity for Tjahjanto to capitalize on those, particularly with the cameos of action star Yayan Ruhian, as well as actress Mawar Eva de Jongh.
