(2026) The Runner - Lacking Punch for a Supposedly Thrilling Premise

I saw this movie in the Coming Soon section of Prime Video and was looking forward to watch due to its interesting premise. So when it was made available yesterday, I immediately gave it a try once I was able to do it. Let's get to the movie now, shall we?

Brief Story Line

Maia Marten (Gal Gadot - Heart of Stone, Wonder Woman etc) was a famous attorney based in London who raised her young child Noah (Rory Wilmot) by herself. During one of her usual morning run after dropping Noah to school, she got a mysterious call from a man claiming he had kidnapped her son. The caller (Damian Lewis - Our Kind of Traitor, Billions TV series etc) demanded Maia to do a specific thing within one hour before he release Noah.

(TV SERIES) Furious Season 1 - A Dark and Heavy Crime Drama Series Loosely Inspired by 1987 Movie Black Widow

Few weeks ago while I was checking on Disney+, I found this series and another one which were both intriguing for me. However just like the usual Hulu original series, it was having one episode per week release (except for the first three that were released at the same time). Two days ago I noticed the last episode would be released on Monday, so I decided to start watching the day before and finished it last night. OK then, I'll get on with the series now.

Brief Story Line

Rookie FBI agent Alice Black (Emmy Rossum - Cold Pursuit, Shameless TV series etc) who was formerly from NYPD, was asked by her old partner Detective Danny Kelly (Scoot McNairy - Man on Fire TV series, Luckiest Girl Alive etc) to look into the death of a wealthy billionaire's son. Though it looked like a simple overdoze, Alice was suspicious with similar case that occurred 14 years before and tried to bring it to the attention of Nora Washington (Quincy Tyler Bernstine - Power TV series etc), the FBI's head of sex crime units. 

Wings of Dread - Full Action Martial Arts Movie Set on An Airplane

This movie was released in Indonesian cinemas since last Friday. I was quite interested as the premise sounds promising plus it starred one of the most well known Indonesian action star. Unfortunately it only played in two studios of the biggest cinema chains which were far located. However, it did play in the other cinema chains but also at very limited studios and time. Anyway my wife and I finally got the chance to watch this yesterday afternoon. OK then, I'll get right on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

Gu Chao Yang (Ashton Chen - Detective Chen, Heroes TV series etc) was an air marshall who decided to go onboard the plane where his girlfriend, flight attendant Dong Lu (Nita Lei - Mojin: Return to the South China Sea, Here We Met Again TV series etc) was on duty. The flight was almost fully booked with a lot of passengers including criminal Du Jiu Lin (Tao Hai) who was being escorted back to China by the police, mysterious woman wearing cap (Qu Jing Jing - The Whole Truth TV series, The Body Guard etc), a soft spoken psychologist (Iko Uwais - Mile 22, Wu Assassins TV series etc), the influencer Li Jie (Yu Mu Lin), the disability guy with walking stick (Liu Feng Chao - The Butcher's Blade, Black Storm etc) and plenty others.
