Notes: Unfortunately, like pretty much 99% of what Willis has done during the last 10 years of his career, the damned thing turned out to be borderline unwatchable, I’m afraid. Where should I start? Even the title didn’t make much sense since there was no reprisal whatsoever. These movies were actually shot in 14 days and it shows and you might wonder how long it took them to write such a clunky script (2 days maybe?). And who came up with the great idea of casting Frank Grillo as a banker? I have to admit that Grillo was actually not bad playing a guy on the edge and traumatized by a bank robbery (at least, he did try which was more that what you could say about than the rest of the cast) but he was still completely miscast for this role. The saddest thing is actually that Bruce Willis did retire back in 2022 because he was suffering from aphasia and you might wonder if he was already suffering from this disease back then. At least, he did have more screen time than in this usual direct-to-VOD garbage but it was just rather painful to see the veteran obviously struggling with his performance. The fact that his character could have been easily removed without having any impact on the plot probably didn’t help either. Concerning Olivia Culpo, it's only after I watched this movie that I discovered that she was actually crowned Miss Universe back in 2012 so she was definitely charming but I’m not surprised that her career as an actress never really took off after being involved in such drivel. 
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award, I thought I might as well check it out. Since I’m French, of course, I heard about Lourdes, one of the most famous pilgrimage sites, and I have to admit that it was i” read more

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick, in fact, it was Nick, my step-son, who picked it up this week when we went to the movies together.

What is it about?
In 2003, rock singer Bertrand Cantat killed his partner, actress Marie Trintignant. This documentary reviews the case that divided a nation.
My verdict:
Even though I have left France more than 20 years ago, I heard of this case which was huge in France. What was (and still is) so shocking for many French people growing up in the 90's like me was that Bertrand Cantat was definitely one of the coolest music artists in France. Charismatic, talented, politically and socially active on the left side,... And, yet, after watching this mini-series, it is previous that the guy was (and still is) actually a toxic narcissist piece of sh*t after all. Of course, the women he was involved with (Marie Trintignant and Krisztina Rády) were probably psychologically not super stable but they certainly didn't deserve to be mistreated like this by such a psycho. That so many people kept supporting him for decades after what happened to Trintignant is just mind-blowing. 
“It has been ages since I saw a movie directed by Akira Kurosawa and, since this movie was available on YouTube, I was really eager to check it out. In fact, even though I had never heard of this movie before, it was actually quite a milestone for Kurosawa as it was the first time he was working with” read more
