Predator: Killer of Killers — 7/10

Four stories in a short time provide ample room for a lot of action. There are only short pauses between action scenes. The animation style enabled the director to focus on fights, and it paid off. A few rare moments are stretched, but the rest is solid entertainment. Just the Bullet’s name is confusing.

История дня по итогам голосования за 26 декабря 2025

Сижу одна в парке на скамеечке, никого не трогаю, отдыхаю, наслаждаюсь свободой и тишиной. Подходит какой-то мужичок и садится рядом. Я его спрашиваю:

– Деньги принёс?

Видели бы вы, как он рванул.

Paradise War: The Story of Bruno Manser — 7/10

Another movie based on real-life events that seem too cinematic to be real. But there you go: majestic nature, great story, nice directing. The hero is quite inspiring! I wish I learned about him earlier.

Kneecap — 8/10

This might be one of the best biopics I have ever seen, and it doesn’t even pale in comparison with completely made-up stories. I would have never guessed that the trio is playing themselves, that they are not professional actors. The plot is very lively and funny, while its style is reminiscent of Trainspotting and Guy Ritchie movies. However, these small events are nicely woven into a bigger narrative. Next time I’m watching it, it would be interesting to guess which parts have actually happened.

Relay — 7/10

This story felt fresh, and the movie has properly thrilled me. The long build-up didn’t feature much acting, which was justified, but then there was action and acting in the final third. I’m not in the business of guessing twists, so I didn’t anticipate that turn. I have a slight feeling that some earlier moments didn’t fit it very well, but nothing obvious to me. And the final scene was a good touch, especially in contrast to an opposite story in a train in a different movie.
