What film did you watch last night?

Copenhagen

A film version of a stage play concerning Heisenberg's visit to his former professor Neils Bohr in occupied Copenhagen. Very much of the unreliable narrator theme which echoes "complementary" from quantum mechanics where (simplistically) you can get different results depending on how an experiment is done. Three first class actors: Daniel Craig as Heisenberg, Steven Rea as Bohr, and very much an equal player Francesca Annis as Mrs B.

The meeting is quite famous with lots of conflicting accounts, including from those involved. Was Heisenberg trying to recruit Bohr, perhaps even to help the war effort? Or was he asking for "permission" to deveop the a-bomb / or asking Bohr to help agree with the allies not to. Other themes included whether Heisenberg did a bit of a go-slow on the bomb for moral reasons, as he claimed post war, or, more likely, missed a key calculation? Could it have gone another way?

First class writing, acting and storytelling

9/10 at least

Where did you see this ?

We couldn't find it on Netflix nor BBC so bought a secondhand DVD for a couple of quid

"Marco Polo", a 2007 TV movie with Brian Dennehey. Easy watching, Mr Dennehey is convincing Khan (though not a patch on Mr Montelban).

Surely John Wayne's performance is definitive for this role ?

Shelter at the flicks tonight, fair to say if you're a fan of the Statham you'll enjoy it, a solid 7/10 from me.
The other half wasn't quite so generous with her praise 🤣

Is he by any chance playing a retired special forces operator/ special agent/government assassin who has retired and is laying low when his old life catches up and he has to kill his way to the top of the organisation thets out to get him?

For a unique twist maybe this organisation could kill one of his family members, then he could go all out to seek revenge?

I can't see anything as outlandish as that being considered though.

To be fair, the Stafe killing bad dudes under any pretext suits me just fine.
