The Father. 25/10.

 

Disturbingly  Devastating.

 

The best thing we've watch  in a long time.

You don't want to miss a single twist - so -

Don't blink, talk, go to the toilet or make a cup of tea. 

 

Anthony Hopkins,  Silence of the Lambs, The Worlds fastest Indian, etc, etc, etc.

Olivia Colman,  Broadchurch, the Crown etc, etc, etc.

Olivia Williams,   the brilliant, Counter part  & equally brilliant the Nevers.

Mark Gattis.  (the excellent) Good Omens, the League of Gentlemen, etc, etc, etc.

Imogen  Poots.  (the very, very strange) Vivarium.

Rufus Sewell,   the brilliant,  Man in the High Castle.

Ayesha Dharker,  the Indian Doctor, etc.

Roman Zeller

 

All pull together to make this one hell of a thought provoking film.

 

One of the Best Films Ever ? 

25 out of 10.

 

Watch & Decide.

 

Enjoy.

The Outpost  8/10

 

True story based on the Battle at Kamdesh, Afghanistan, involving US troops and the Taliban.

 

Very intense and excellent choreography, in addition to the actors playing the real life soldiers- particularly Scott Eastwood (dead handsome son of the great Clint).

 

Well worth a watch.

I agree with that rating. Good film.

 

Hard to believe that they actually set up an outpost in a location like that.

Agree, especially when the soldiers get to see the aerial view the Taliban had- unbelievable.

 

I watched the YouTube video of Romesha getting his medal of honour from Obama,  if you wanted to follow up on the real life interviews.

Same here, was very good.

 

I still can't understand how this killer/ rapist spent 30+ yrs on death row.

 

It's not like he didn't confess or there were holes in the investigation.

 

Crazy and a waste of taxpayers money!

Did Donald Trump’s administration have anything to do with Long’s execution?  There was a spree of executions when he was President.  He must have also thought what a  waste of taxpayers money keeping murderers on death row.

It's due to the time required to go through all the legal avenues for appealing against a death sentence. Since the 1970s about 180 people given a death sentence have later been exonerated by new evidence.

 

Another reason is that since 2010 European countries, including the UK, banned the export of certain chemicals to the US on ethical ground because they were only being used for lethal injections. This created a shortage in the US and prevent them from carrying out executions. In recent years certain US states have resorted to bring back electric chairs and firing squads.
