Bionic

2024 / 110m - Brazil
Sci-fi, Crime
3.0*/5.0*
Bionic poster

A rather novel sci-fi idea, mixing crime and sports elements into the plot. The film could've used a little extra polish and streamlining though, because it's a tad messy. Fewer side stories and a slightly more economic runtime could've turned this into prime genre filler, but it's still a fun ride.

They could've gone for some near-future version of the plot, but luckily they weren't that lazy. The setting is futuristic enough, without being too alien. The sports angle is fun (and people worry about trans athletes), and the crime and action bits were effective. Performances are solid too, I just wish it was a bit more consistent.


Solace

2015 / 101m - USA
Crime, Mystery, Thriller
2.5*/5.0*
Solace poster

A serial killer with a very specific modus operandi and a clairvoyant FBI agent coming out of retirement. Solace isn't the most original of films, but Poyart directs it with the proper flair. Sadly that isn't enough to turn this into a great film, but if you like this kind of thing then it's a solid option.
