In the Grey - A Fun and Enjoyable Ride Guy Ritchie's Style

I knew this film was about to be released this week since the biggest cinema chain in Indonesia now always shows the schedule up to one or even two months ahead. At first I was a bit doubtful cause I never heard of the movie. But once I saw the lead stars and director, I thought I should give it a try. Yesterday my wife and I got the chance to see it in the theater very near to our home. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Manny Salazar (Carlos Bardem - Escobar: Paradise Lost, The Chosen One TV series etc) had been borrowing large amount of money from a Financial Institution but failed to return the loan. Bobby Sheen (Rosamund Pike - Now You See Me, Now You Don't, The Wheel of Time TV series etc) who worked at the Bank was assigned to recover the debt from Salazar and ultimately agreed to the proposal from Lawyer Rachel Wild (Eiza González - Godzilla Vs Kong, 3 Body Problems TV series etc) for arranging the recovery despite her huge success fee.

Timur - Directorial Debut of Iko Uwais Which Sadly Underperformed

This week, Netflix got plenty of new movies and series released, including several older shows from other networks that made me pretty busy playing catch up. But this film that was made available yesterday caught my attention so I decided to immediately watch it last night. All right then, why don't I get right to it.

Brief Story Line

A group of researchers that included few Indonesians and foreigners together with local guide Apollo (Aufa Assagaf) and Yoseph (Adhin Abdul Hakim) who went to East Indonesia were captured and taken hostage by terrorist group led by Tobias (Arnold Kobogau) and his right hand man Frans (Macho Hungan).

With negotiations going nowhere, the Indonesian government decided to do a military operation by the Special Forces Corps (Kopassus). Timur (Iko Uwais - Ash, Triple Threat etc) and his best friend Sila (Jimmy Kobogau) were among these elite soldiers who were assigned on this highly dangerous mission. 

The Punisher: One Last Kill - Would Be Even More Special With Longer Duration

I remember reading somewhere that there was going to be a Punisher TV special on Disney+ but I forgotten it was scheduled for release yesterday. So I ended up only watching it this morning once I had the chance. OK then, I'll just get right to it.

Brief Story Line

Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal - His & Hers mini series, The Amateur etc) who was suffering from PTSD had trouble in dealing with his loss and having no life purpose. But things became really bad for him when Ma Gnucci (Judith Light - The Menu, Who's the Boss? sitcom etc), the head of Gnucci crime family put a bounty on Frank.

With so many people trying to kill him, Frank had no choice but to fight them all.
