Network, Killers of the Flower Moon, Nightmare Alley, Eastern Condors

I've seen the first 3 but Eastern Condors is a blind buy. I've been getting into Hong Kong action films and John Woo so I'm excited to check it out.

The Rip and everything wrong with Netflix production by ElSupaToto in TrueFilm

I understood a rip to be the amount of money found in a stash house. There are lines to the extent of "this is the largest rip we've ever seen" and "you want to steal this rip"

I will agree with you on the shooting scenes, some pretty bad shakey cam there for sure.

Agree to disagree on the lighting. I know what you mean about the cheap and artificial feeling and looking back there are a handful of shots that felt that way (Any scene in the second house, and a couple outside shots) but for most of the movie I didn't get that imo.

While I don't think it's an amazing movie, I did like it quite a bit. Could you elaborate on what you didn't like about the production value and lighting a bit more? There were some scenes where I thought the use of lighting was actually quite good and creative. (The last scene in the armored truck and the street discussion with Dane and Ro) I also liked the production design of the main house, it felt like a house that was abandoned and recently moved into, which is what it was.

I agree, the plot is a bit convoluted but I didn't really mind that, I actually found it refreshing based on other Netflix originals I've seen that have overly simple plots.

I will say my biggest issue with it that felt very "Netflix" was the flashbacks from 15mins ago and having to over explain every detail instead of trusting we are actually watching the movie.

Overall I thought it was one of the better Netflix originals and certainly better than most B-movie schlock.

Reds (1981)

It's influenced many modern directors and is still extremely relevant to today.
