I don't think it is as much his political affiliation as is how breaking the code but not acting on it (rather selectively acting on it) was affecting his morality. He felt every life needed to be saved while the officers felt some needed to be sacrificed for the greater good.

Re: The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)

Just finished watching Map of Tiny Perfect Things on prime. It's another movie based on time anomaly but without all the scientific / technical details, but rather a cute love story. A good one time watch. I would rate 3 /5. Available on Amazon Prime

Intern 5/5

Brilliant movie with simple story yet exhilirating. Robert & Anne were simply too good together. Reminds you of one's office going days which few miss. Watch it on Netflix if you guys havent.
There is a news that an official remake in bollywood is on cards with Amitabh & Deepika. They would need exclusive screenplay and direction to make any similar experience like Intern.

It was another team member who felt every life needed to be saved (the case in point being the Royal Navy ship with his brother on it) while Turing puts him down.

I got the automated mail that 'Wrath of Man' is available on Lionsgate Play.
But I am unable to find this in the app. Anyone else facing this too ?

Same here. Have been waiting for this one and was happy to see that it's available on Lionsgate Play as per the mailer. Sadly, it's nowhere to be seen.

I too am waiting for this ! Guy Ritchie is one of my favorites.

Off topic, I feel Lionsgate Play is the worst app of the lot. The design and the bugs really irritate me.

User pov, for me:
Netflix > Prime > Hotstar > Lionsgate Play

I've heard the soundtrack is to die for, and that it's not your usual Statham kick punch fest. The trailers seem to indicate a godfather meets John wick thing.

Lionsgate Play is indeed the worst OTT app. Got a notification about the movie and this is what I got.

I had shot a mail to them in morning. They replied that I need to send my account details etc. I did not reply. Now I got a mail that there was some technical issue and it's been rectified. Everyone waiting for Wrath Of Man, please download. It's available.

It's a typical Statham movie. You will get exactly what you wish. But, it's not a typical Guy Ritchie movie as his usual touch was missing here. Still a good entertainment.

Fear Street Triology 3.5/5

All horror movie fans do not miss this triology playing on Netflix. Watch it like a mini series and you wont be disappointed. It is one of those stories of witchcraft based in different centuries and overlapping curse. Most actors have done a fairly good job and keep you glued to the storyline. The climax is more or less predicatble but if you have ran out of good horror stories then this triology will keep you interested for good 6 hours.
Note: Few sexual content and swearing, hence not a family watch like other good stories like Conjuring Series .

Saw it last weekend. Part 1 and part 2 were good though I didn't really like the last part. As you said, it was too predictable. I was expecting some twists and turns. Also, the climax scene was slightly underwhelming.

But overall, a good one time watch.

The gore is actually quite limited. If I take into account movies like Wrong Turn series, or the Evil Dead series and assign them a 10 rating for gore, then this one is a 3. There is 1 scene in the 1st movie which may be qualified as being a real or a true gore depiction.

The other scenes or instances are shown more in a funny(casual is a better word since what I found funny may only be casual for someone else) manner.
