The Invisible Man (2020)

Saturday, 21 March 2020 10:32

The plot of this movie is far removed from H.G. Wells' story line in his famous book. The only similarity is that a main character is invisible! It's more about contemporary issues such as marital...

The Hateful Eight (2015)

Friday, 20 March 2020 10:40

This offering from Tarantino is unlike his other movies, in that there are no continuous violent action sequences. It is more dialogue driven and is somewhat similar to a stage play or Alfred...

The Helicopter Spies (1968)

Wednesday, 18 March 2020 09:12

The TV series "Man From U.N.C.L.E." was one of my favourites when growing up. It had a great mix of action, martial arts, and espionage with a spoof of the spy genre underpinning it. Unfortunately,...

1917 (2019)

Monday, 16 March 2020 20:28

I finally got around to watching this movie and was not disappointed. What it lacked in individual character development, was made up for in the sweeping cinematography and the tension caused, in...

Richard Jewell (2019)

Richard Jewell

Another masterpiece from Clint Eastwood. This movie takes on the "fake news" media and an FBI investigation that tried to "fit up" the accused, without having sufficient evidence of his criminality.

Richard Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser) is protrayed by the authorities as a security guard (cop wannabe) who, despite alerting police to the existence of a pipe bomb at the 1996 Summer Olympics at Atlanta, Georgia, was actually responsible for planting the bomb to gain "hero" status.

The "Human Capital" story was told in three parts, according to the perspective of three main protagonists.

The first part unfolded showing Drew (Liev Schreiber) and his relationship with his daughter, Shannon (Maya Hawke), who is in a relationship with Jamie (Fred Hechinger). Drew is driving Shannon to Jamie's house when he discovers it is huge and he is in awe of the wealth displayed by this family. As a result, he decides to negotiate an investment with Jamie's father, Quint (Peter Sarsgard), which he has to borrow heavily for to raise the investment funds. The backstory reveals that Jamie has to leave a party early because he becomes intoxicated and is driven home by Shannon, with another person driving Jamie's 4WD vehicle for him. This vehicle hits a bicyclist and is quickly driven away in a hit and run incident.

The plot of this movie is far removed from H.G. Wells' story line in his famous book. The only similarity is that a main character is invisible! It's more about contemporary issues such as marital abuse, gaslighting and how powerful people can hold sway over others when it comes to believing the truth of an incident.. Melbourne born director, Leigh Whannell, keeps the movie on track with slick camera direction and other devices learned in his creation of the "Saw" franchise. However, this was not enough for me to accept this as having the same quality.
