What classics did you see last week ? (27 Oct - 02 Nov 2019)

Thanks again for stepping up, tele.




Domino / Brian De Palma (2019). Slack spy thriller from a popular director whose films I have never really liked. Nothing changed after this one. It opens in Copenhagen where two city cops, Christian (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau-Game of Thrones) and Lars (Søren Malling) get a call to look into a domestic dispute. Lars has something on his mind so tells Christian he will talk about it at the end of their shift. Now, anyone who has seen as many as three movies in their life knows that when a cop says anything about the future, he has five minutes to live, max. (This is what starts the plot going so not a Spoiler.) Christian, because of this, goes all rogue cop, and, along with partner Alex Boe (Carice van Houten), chases the terrorist responsible for Lars’ death to Brussels and then to southern Spain for a climax at a bull fight. My pulse didn’t pound a single time.
