This was quite an engrossing watch for me with a close similarity to the sixth sense, Nicole Kidman is very believable as the protective mother and the supporting actors convincing as the housekeepers and groundsman, this film twists and turns it's way to quite a shocking finale even though the 6th sense broke this ground earlier doesn't detract from the surprising conclusion.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but the cast alone caught my eye. It slowly turns out to be a very compelling watch. A bit predictable about half way through but an intriguing story nevertheless and only 7 episodes long.

Now I have to say that I wasn't 100% sure of the story behind Bombshell that stars Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and an unrecognisable John Lithgow, what I did vaguely know is that the movie is based on the rather powerful and controversial media empire Fox News and of the story of the woman that brought down the man that created the well-known empire.

It's certainly a refreshing change from all the action and adventure films that I've been seeing lately and ys it is a slowish paced film, but Bombshell kept me interested in the storyline, as they fight to take on the power of Fox News and Roger Ailes (John Lithgow), this is a film that is pretty powerful to watch and is intriguing and interesting as Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) takes on the media mogul in a fight for justice.

I had a few thoughts while watching this film: Would Nicole Kidman actually look like that in real life if she hadn't gotten her face done? As well as, damn, I think this film is a remake of Point Break.
I saw this a few days ago, and honestly, Sebastian Stan was the best part. I didn't think there was enough of him, obviously, the story was focused on Nicole Kidman's character. The storytelling was interesting, and a pleasant surprise. But, this film is essentially Point Break by another name with slight changes.
