Film Review: Trigger Warning
Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Film ● Review: City Hunter
Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

K-drama ● Review: Strong Girl Nam-soon
Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Equalizer 3
Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

K-drama ● Review: Black Knight
Post-apocalyptic dystopia with truck-driving delivery man hero. Not bad in any respect. Mostly tight at 6 episodes. Can use more wow factor.

Vigilantes solve and fight crime. Generally good pacing, acting and production, making an entertaining and satisfying series.

Not a Taken clone but rather a vigilante-revenge black comedy. Enjoyable and recommended.

Tries to be a gritty vigilante-revenge film but execution is lacking. The action and logistics just feel awkward.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Equalizer 2
Instead of thugs, McCall is going up against skilled operatives like himself. Lacks the energy and emotional satisfaction of the first film.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Foreigner
Not supposed to be a shoot ’em up but it still works. Good to see Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan not be typecasted.
