Yeah, I have heard a number of stories around him that make him sound like a less than heroic character. This is always the case in these things though. Any autobiographical film usually annoys one side of the coin.
What film did you watch last night?

Babyteeth (2019) - Just randomly selected something to watch.
Started off thinking I don't care about these characters, they appear so cliché and unlikeable. Ended the bloody thing in tears. If you like a low key romance, with a slow inevitable crawl towards tragedy then this is for you.

The Courier - 9/10
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8368512/
Thoroughly enjoyed this, based on a true story which I knew nothing about, based on a normal British businessman recruited to be a handler of a top KGB General leaking nuclear missile secrets to the US leading up to the Cuban Missile crisis.
Superbly acted by Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Intimidation Game - 7/10.
Benedict Cumberbatch really is a brilliant actor and weirdly just seen the post above also mentions him!

What hype, think that is about its average score on here. These things go to top of netflix because everyone has watched everything else already.
Dune 1984
then
Dune 2021
Never seen either before. Story was pretty good.
There were times the cast and theatricality of 1984 definitely seemed better than the 2021s higher quality sfx and technical complexity.
Javier Bardem looked exactly like Oliver Reed.

Saw 'news articles' saying its the biggest film buuuuut as you say, its probably has everyone is bored and went to watch it due to the cast.
Man of Honour
Intrusion (2021)
A Netflix original film, which should have been warning enough. A wholly unoriginal, totally predicable thriller, completely devoid of any thrills.
Save yourself 90 minutes of life and don't bother. Or just watch the first 15 minutes and guess the rest. Trust me you'll be spot on.
The synopsis should have read, movie characters do the dumbest things and are too stupid for words.
2/10
Don't know what the 2 points are for. Actually it's for the house most of the film takes place in. Would've like to have seen a Grand Designs episode on it.

Marathon Man https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074860/
I've seen it several times before but it's one of the greats, IMO.
If you haven't seen it and like thrillers, then you should.
