Police investigator Bettina Käser is investigating the murder of Gottfried Rösli in Langenthal. His daughter Käthi Güdel found the old farmer dead at the Lochmatthof farm, shot with a pellet gun. Everything points to Käthi's husband Sämi having lost his temper: he had been in a nasty argument with his father-in-law. But Bettina Käser has her doubts about Sämi's guilt. Together with her Zurich-based assistant Roberto Egger, the investigator sets out to find the perpetrator. However, the revelation of the truth holds a surprise in store for Bettina Käser herself.
Netflix’s new mystery thriller, The Marked Woman (released originally as La Desconocida), is confusing. More critically, though, it commits the worst mistake a movie can make: it’s boring. From Spanish director Gabe Ibáñez, the film squanders its premise at every turn, fills the story with unlikeable characters, and lacks emotional payoff.
I highly recommend Kill Bill: Volume 2. In classic Tarantino fashion, specific sections of the film are a tad too long, but overall, it’s a wonderful piece of escapist fiction.
We’ve always known that Edgar Wright is a mixologist when it comes to blending sound, light, colour, and texture. This is especially true in the first act of the film. In fact, all of my positive feedback is directed exclusively at the first act of this film.
It’s a cool looking Marvel character right off the page! He’s got these glowing eyes and he just kicks ass everywhere he goes, seemingly impervious to pain.
For those tranquil houses with white fences, what is happening behind every closed door?
'The Mad Woman and the Feminist': This Spanish entry for the MiamisFF directed by Sandra Gallego handles a difficult conversation in a smart, memorable way.
