The Stranger

   The Stranger, which had its world premiere at Cannes this year, revolves on the newly introduced couple Mark (Joel Edgerton) and Henry (Sean Harris). They start engaging in potentially illegal activities while appearing to be total strangers. Henry was expecting to meet with another man whom he had just met on a bus when Mark takes him up. They travel in tense, mainly quiet convoys, meeting men in dark parking lots or strangely empty hotels with almost no other visitors.

    Soon, a wary Henry starts to confide in Mark and relaxes. Although it would be difficult to term it a friendship, it feels like the closest they have been in a while. Mark, however, is not who he is purporting to be and is not here to make friends, as is made clear to us right away. He is actually an undercover police officer who is seeking to elicit information from Henry, who initially seems unconcerned, about a crime that has gone unsolved for a long time.

   The way that frequent interruptions can stifle conversation is oppressive. The muted audio that is catching all of the discussions frequently pulls us out of the normal sound. When a piece of equipment malfunctions, the recording briefly assumes a darker, almost demonic tone. The movie engages in a delicate dance that borders on horror before bringing us back from the brink. What makes The Stranger effective is how everything comes together to give the impression that the two guys are nearly condemned to a life of endless wandering in what appears to be an Australian purgatory.

Plane (2023)

 Plane (2023) IMDb  Rating - 6.6/10 Director-  Jean-Francois Richet Writers Charles Cumming J.P. Davis Run Time - 1h 47m Plane (2023) Recall how every January or February, Liam Neeson started a tradition of releasing a corny action/thriller? Neeson looks to have left that company, allowing Gerard Butler free to enter via the open door. Butler exhibits a similar level of on-screen charisma to Neeson (but without the Oscar nomination) and demonstrates his ability to portray the heroic everyman role. He's stuck with a dull title (who could think of anything more catchy than Plane?) and a duller storyline, but that's standard fare for action movies with an '80s vibe. The largest error made by Lionsgate, the movie's distributor, was to release it in theaters as opposed to negotiating a contract with a major streaming service. The plot of Plane resembles a cross between Rambo and Airport (a 1980 parody of the 1970s disaster-in-the-sky franchise Airport) (insofar as that was a...

An island, a sumptuous dinner, and an odd guest list are sure signs of a brutal murder, as any casual reader of whodunits knows.    While on his honeymoon, screenwriter Will Tracy had supper at the Cornelius Sjmat restaurant in Norwa...
