Introduction to Coherence - An Amazon Prime Video Movie Review

 

How would you like to watch a movie that can be described as science fiction, with a hint of drama with plenty of suspense? If you like these attributes for a film – then the Coherence Amazon Prime video movie may be a must-see film for you.

 

The above being said, you may want to know if there were any downsides to the Coherence Amazon Prime Video movie and if so what were they?

 

However, the most important question is should you watch the 2013 Amazon Prime video movie Coherence or pass on it? Check out my movie review of the Amazon Prime video film, Coherence, to find out.

 

Synopsis of Coherence Movie

 

The Amazon Prime video movie, Coherence involves a crowd of people who seem to be having a get together around the dinner table. There are couples and single people there as well. Initially, you may begin to wonder who is exactly who and what is his or her role in the film Coherence. Pay close attention to the various conversations and you will find out that the movie is not only about couples and their relationships, but also about a strange phenomenon that you probably would not expect to happpe as the storyline unfolds.

 

To make a long story short, as a result of a comet, one of the dinner guests talks about odd actions that are happening. For example, for some unknown reason, Emily Floler's character's phone screen as well as those of others cr – which alarms the group at first. Everyone  seemed to calm down when Emily Foxler as Em shared the story of a previous comet’s unexplainable effects on people as it approached the earth.

By the way, the downsides of the Amazon Prime Video film included the constant conversations that were going on during the movie, especially those which did not move the story along.

As the movie’s storyline progresses, there is a power outage in the house. The group uses candles as well as a generator to try to regain light and electricity in the house. 

 

 In the meantime, two of the men ventured out to a house in the neighborhood that seemed to have lights and electricity. Upon the men’s  return, after coaxing from the group, they divulge a situation they saw at the other house where everyone who was currently at the dinner table, was also at the house they had just left. Of course, everyone is puzzled as to how this could be possible.

 

The remainder of the movie's storyline revolves around how the group tried various ways to attempt to explain and deal with what they were experiencing.

 

Suspense in the Coherence Amazon Prime VIdeo Movie

 

It goes without saying that suspense is high in the movie, Coherence, starting with the group seeming to be living in some sort of alternate reality. The major suspense is how and if they will solve this circumstance or ever find out what is really going on.

Acting Skills Displayed in the Coherence Amazon Prime VIdeo Movie

 

For the most part, the actors played their roles adequately. In my opinion, there were no break-out actors who stood out in the Coherence Amazon Prime Video movie. There was a break-out acting opportunity for Emily Foxler who played the part of  Em who first tied strange happenings with the approaching comet, but due to maybe the budget, script or other reasons, there were no stand out moments for her. 

 

The movie even has a scene where Emily Foxler's character confronts her “other self'' in one of the rooms in the house, which could have provided her the chance to display her acting skills -- but this did not happen. Since she was not the only one affected by the odd happenings that were going on, her lack of acting skills in these scenes did not affect my opinion of the Amazon Prime Video movie, Coherence.

 

Assessment of the Coherence Amazon Prime VIdeo Movie

 

I think the Amazon Prime video movie Coherence may keep your interest. You may get some Inception movie vibes while watching the fil, Coherence, however, without a doubt, due to the expert writing and acting in Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2010 inception movie, there is no comparison between the two. In short, I think the latter – Inception film -- far outshines the Coherence movie.

 

If you watch the Coherence Amazon Prime video movie, you may attempt to figure out if and how the group of people get out of this predicament and return to their daily lives.I believe the problem-solving lure of the Coherence Amazon Prime video movie may be one of the draws of the Coherence film.

 

That being said, I recommend that you watch the Coherence Amazon Prime Video movie, which may prove to be entertaining for you. Additionally, as the movie progresses, you will probably try to determine or predict how the movie will end – which can be suspenseful in and of itself.

 

Rating of the Coherence Amazon Prime Video Movie

 

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Amazon Prime Video movie 5 stars.

The Tunnel: An Amazon Prime Video Movie Review

MV5BMTQ3ODYzMDI5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTE5NDQ3NjE. V1 copy

Introduction to The Tunnel Amazon Prime video Movie Review

 

It's been awhile since I watched a disaster film, so I decided to do so as a change of  pace in my movie-watching. You may recall that a few years back, there were plenty of disaster-type movies showing at the theaters.Some disaster films that come to my mind includeThe Perfect Storm with Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney, Armageddon starring Bruce Willis and The classic Poseidon Adventure, which appeared in theaters a few years back.

 

The major difference between The Tunnel Amazon Prime video movie is that it is a foreign Norwegian-made film while the other similar type movies I’ve watched were made in America.

 

You may be wondering if the location of The Tunnel movie made any difference in my interest in the movie. In fact, you may be skeptica if it is worth your time to watch The Tunnel Amazon Prime video movie due to its set location in Norway.

 

Check out my movie review of the Amazon Prime video movie The Tunnel to help you decide whether or not you should tune in to watch it.

 

Synopsis of the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel.

 

As expected from the title of the film, all the action as well as the drama in the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel happens near or in the vicinity of a specific tunnel in Norway. There is also some action in the 911 operator control room as the operator attempts to keep in contact with the victims of the tunnel disaster.

 

Interestingly enough, The Tunnel Amazon Prime video movie begins with a narrative that reveals the large  number of tunnels in Norway, as well as what happens if there should be an accident in the tunnel. The narrative continues to share that the film, The Tunnel, is based upon true events.

 

Suffice it to say that The Tunnel movie was unsettling, especially when you think about the prospect of getting help should this unfortunate tunnel accident happens to you.  In other words, the odds may not be in your favor – even though there is always a chance for a successful rescue mission, as depicted in the Amazon Prme video movie, The Tunnel

Drama in the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel

 

The Tunnel Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel is not 100% focused on the tunnel disaster.The movie's storyline involves family drama between a father and his daughter as well as how he is handling himself dating again three years after his daughter’s mother passed. Kudos to the writers for not making the new girlfriend character seem like a villain, even when there was friction between her and the father's daughter.

 Additionally,  and on a positive note, the father’s new girlfriend and daughter’s relationship improved in the midst of the tunnel disaster. 

 

Specifics of the Tunnel Disaster in the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel

 

To make a long story short, a fuel tank truck was leading another truck through the tunnel on a blustery snowy day when all of a sudden the driver of the first truck lost control of the vehicle. He checked beneath the truck and assured the 911 operator who was also the traffic controller that even though there was an accident in the tunnel involving the fuel tank truck, the truck was not leaking gas.

 

But alas, within a few minutes after the call, he found a huge fuel leak under the truck. Unfortunately, at that time, he met his demise as the truck exploded in the tunnel and fire and smoke cascaded downt he enclosed tunnel endangering the other drivers and passengers.

 

Personally, I thought it was smart for the authorities to close the tunnel; however, dangerous events were already happening due to the truck explosion that had already taken place.

 

In the meantime,the father who was the rescuer found out his daughter was on a bus with other people, who were initially unaware of the danger they were facing. In fact, many of the bus passengers thought there was a hold up or a vehicular back-up in the tunnel due to construction work -- which was of course not the case.

 

The Role of the 911 Operator in the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel

 

In my opinion, the writer went through great lengths to show that the 911 operator felt empathy for the people who were stuck in the dangerous tunnel. I think she played her role well as a 911 operator traffic controller, especially when she talked to and found out that two little girls were initially stuck in the tunnel and were unable to escape. 

 

Her advice to them was to leave their vehicle and go into the first vehicle they could find. The girls mentioned the word "Postm as they talked which gave the 911 operator the impression that they were going to seek safety in a mail or post office truck. This information was valuable towards the end of the movie, when it appeared the efforts were focused on finding the girls.

 

The above being said, my complaint here is the 911 operator should have shown great concern for all of the disaster victims. Maybe she could identify with the girls, but the reality is there were lots of other people who needed her help as well.

 

However, as the saying goes, "all's well that ends well."  As expected, the rescuer was able to enter the smoke-filled tunnel and ultimately rescue the two girls.

 

The Tunnel 2020

 

Assessment of The Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel

 

Even though the movie, The Tunnel is set in Norway and involves a Norwegian tunnel vice one located at an American location,  I think this movie is worth your time to check out.

 

Reasons being, there are a fair amount of action, suspense and drama in the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel to keep your interest. The suspense will probably escalate when you find out about the two little girls and may wonder if they will be rescued. 

 

Overall, I found the Tunnel Amazon Prime video movie interesting to watch, even if I cringed when I noticed the severe snowy weather conditions the characters had to contend with in addition to having to experience the tunnel disaster. The good news is the rescue mission was deemed a success, even though unfortunately a few people in the movie did not survive the smoke, fire, and other dangers that resulted from the fuel tank truck accident in the tunnel.

 

Realism in The Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel

 

Due to the adequate acting skills of the main actors in the Amazon prime video movie, The Tunnel, the film exudes a sufficient amount of realism. So real, in fact that you may be a little apprehensive should you have to drive through a tunnel, no matter your location.

 

Rating of the Amazon Prime video movie The Tunnel

 

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Amazon Prime video movie, The Tunnel 3 stars.

The Good Nurse Netflix Movie Review Versus Capturing the Killer Nurse Netflix Documentary Review

 WNUWUCQQIRGE5BRI3C5BFBDQJY

 

 

Introduction to The Good Nurse Netflix Movie Review Versus Capturing the Killer Nurse Netflix Documentary Review

 

I recently watched the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse which was a real eye-opener for me.

 

This is especially true since I had already watched the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse as well as shared my movie review of The Netflix movie, The Good Nurse not too long ago.

 

In my comparison between The Good Nurse Netflix movie and Capturing the Killer Nurse Netflix documentary, I realized that The Good Nurse Netflix movie was actually written with a movie audience in mind. As a result, there are several embellished scenes in The Good Nurse Netflix movie.

 

 

I’ve condensed my opinions of the Netflix movie The Good Nurse when compared to the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse below.

 

If you are curious as to which of the two versions of these tragic events that actually happened to watch, you may want to check out my comparison between the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, and the Netfflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse. You may even decide to watch both the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse.

 

 

Outstanding Acting of Eddie Redmayne in the Role of the Charles Cullen Character in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse

 

I repeat my opinion from my Netflix The Good Nurse movie review that actor Eddie Redmayne did an excellent job depicting the Charles Cullen character. You may even notice their similar appearance and eerie unassuming mannerisms which I discussed in my Netflix movie review of The Good Nurse. 

 

After watching the Netflix documentary where they showed the real villain nurse, who is Charles Cullen, I think you will agree that Eddie Redmayne gave an Oscar-worthy or at least an Oscar-nominated worthy acting performance in playing this atrocious character.

Embellishments in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse vs. the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse

 

–The partner detective who was working with the main detective is considerably younger than the actual detective who investigated these terrible and unthinkable crimes.

 

–The partner detective was new on the job and trying to make a good impression with his co-detective, so it is

unlikely that he was loud, condescending and verbally abusive to the female hospital administrator which was shown in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse.

 

Specifically, In the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse there is a scene where the partner detective caused both himself and his partner detective to get banned from the Somerset Hospital because of these actions.

 

As I suspected, when I watched the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse this alledged verbal altercation was not shown and probably never happened.

 

Additionally, during the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, nothing was mentioned about the detecves being banned from the Somerset Hospital where some of these crimes were taking place.

 

During the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, there is a scene where Jessica Chastain’s character allows a patient's husband to stay in the hospital room after regular visiting hours to stay with his elderly wife.

 

The wife, unfortunately became a victim of these terrible crimes. According to the Netflix documentary, this visiing scene dispute which was shown in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse did not happen.

 

For added untrue dramatic affect in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, Jessica Chastain's character was verbally chastised loudly by her supervisor for allowing the visit.

 

This scene was not shown in the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, and probably did not happen.

 

 

Location where Jessica Chastain’s character attempted to get Charles Cullen to confess to the unthinkable crimes he was committing relative to his patients

 

In the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, both Jessica Chastain’s character and Charles Cullen’s character met at what looked to be a small “Mom  and Pop” Cafe. 

 

However, according to the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, they appear to have met in a bar where there was a lot of background noise making it difficult for the detectives to understand the conversation between the nurse and Charles Cullen.

Clarity of why Jessica Chastain's character was slow to suspect that Charles Cullen was destroying Innocent Patients

 

The Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse made it clear why the nurse was slow to suspect Charles Cullen was destroying his patients. This was not the case in the Netflx movie, The Good Nurse.

 

I guess the director thought that it was more important for dramatic purposes for Jessica Chastain to concentrate on acting as if she had a heart condition, than revealing why she was reluctant to suspect Charles Cullen was committing these tragic crimes.

 

However in the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, a scene was shown where Charles Cullen gave the real nurse who was played by Jessica Chastain medicine that she desperately needed for her health. This could have been her reason for being slow to recognize Charles Cullen as the montrous person he really was.

 

Two Scenes in both the Netflix movie The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse that Without a Shadow of a Doubt Appeared to be Accurate and Spot On in their Depictions

 

 

–During the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, it was revealed that Charles Cullen was indeed fired from his Somerset Hospital job as a nurse for an error on his resume.

 

--Both the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse were or seem to be accurate when it was shown that the hospitals involved were covering up the crimes that were taking place right under their noses. 

 

The Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse went so far as to provide details why the hospitals where these crimes happened would stoop so low a to cover up tragic crimes which they knew about for some time -- but did nothing to stop or deter from happening again.

 

Assessment of The Good Nurse Netflix Movie and the Netflix Documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse

 

In my opinion, both the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse are worth your time watching.  Just be aware that during the Netfflix, movie, The Good Nurse, for dramatic purposes, many actions in scenes were embellished as I alluded to above.

 

 

Based on my assessment after watching the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, I give both the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, same rating of 3 stars.

 

Howwever, due to the outstanding acting skills displayed by Eddie Redmayne as the main character, Charles Cullen, I would lean towards you watching the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse to witness the excellent acting skills Eddie Redmayne showed, especially, since he was acting as if he was this terrible monster, Charles Cullen who did tragic and fatal harm to hospital patients.

 

Rating of the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse

 

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars, with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Netlix movie, The Good Nurse and the Netflix documentary, Capturing the Killer Nurse, 3 stars.

The Good Nurse: A Netflix Movie Review

 a914b36fb52cd71c7c564dc4b26389e748d48a13 686x386

 

Introduction to The Good Nurse: A Netflix Movie Review

 

I did not hesitate to watch The Good Nurse Netflix movie when it was released.The main reason  I watched The Good Nurse Netflix movie is the film stars an A-List actor, Jessica Chastain. 

 

 I’ve watched a few of her movies in the past and have been satisfied with her acting performances. Some of her movies I’ve watched  include Ava, Zero Dark Thirty, Molly’s Game and others.

 

The above being said, little did I know that the Good Nurse Netflix movie also starred someone who I would classify as a “sleeper actor.” “Sleeper” in the sense that I was not familiar with him as an actor. However, after I watched The Good Nurse, I found out that this actor (Eddie Redmayne)  is well known in the acting circles. Additionally, I discovered that he is one of those actors who really gets into the role of whatever character he is playing.

 

In fact, when I saw him later on a talk show, It was eerie thinking what he was probably plotting in his mind – since he played the criminal character Charles Cullen so convincingly.

 

By the way, from the talk show, I found out the movie The Good Nurse is based on a novel by Charles Graeber and that the movie only showed about ⅓ of what was in the book.

 

However, regarding the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, the question is: Did The Good Nurse Netflix movie keep my attention? Also, WIll it keep yours? More Importantly, should you watch The Good Nurse Netflix movie?

 

Check out my movie review of The Good Nurse Netflix movie to find out.

 

Synopsis of The Good Nurse Netflix Movie

 

The storyline in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse, is based upon true events that actually happened.

 

The movie plot involves a nurse by the name of Charles Cullen who to me appeared unassuming in the movie. He did not seem particularly angry, sad or melodramatic. The word I would use to describe him would be unassuming as I mentioned previously.

 

Apparently as the story goes, Charles Cullen used his access to patients not as a way to care for them, but as a way to unfortunately end their lives.The deaths at several hospitals seemed unusual which sparked an investigation by the police.

 

 It did not take long for Jessica Chastain's character to notice something unusual was going on with her patients. Specifically she found out that Charles Cullen was filling saline bags with extra doses of insulin and injecting the fluid in patients which proved to be fatal.

Realism in the Good Nurse Netflix Movie

 

There is quite a bit of realism in The Good Nurse Netflix movie, starting with how the hospital tried to cover up the crimes. Even though patients were being destroyed. Interesting enough, there were no internal investigations within the hospital once the deaths started.


Additionally, I noticed an unrealistic scene in the movie where Jessica Chastain’s character walked in the room where Charles Cullen was being questioned. She immediately requested the detective to remove Charles Cullen's handcuffs. Although the detective  knew this character was prone to raising his voice, and becoming   unruly, he obliged her request and removed the handcuffs. In real life, I do not believe this action would have taken place.

 

Another unrealistic scene in the Netflix movie The Good Nurse occurred when the detective very sternly told the female administrator to sit down. Because of his loud tone of voice, and maybe his choice of words, he and his detective partner were banned from going to the hospital, even though an active investigation was going on.  I do not think this would happen in real life.

Assessment of The Good Nurse Netflix Movie

 

I categorize The Good Nurse Netflix Movie as slow moving almost to the point of being boring. However, what may keep your interest in the story is the character depiction of Charles Cullen by the actor Eddie Redmayne.

 

Charles Cullen’s character was lowkey throughout the movie but there was something sinister about him. In other words, in my opinion, he did not seem trustworthy – even though for some reason Jessica Chastain’s character took awhile before she became suspicious of him.

 

Acting skills Displayed in The Good Nurse Netflix Movie

 

Both Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne did an adequate job of playing their roles. However, If I did a side by side comparison, I would place Eddie Redmayne’s performance higher than Jessica Chastain’s simply, because I’m sure he was aware that the audience would be focused on him since he was portraying someone who performed these tragic criminal actions.

 

The above being said, I am unable to recommend that you watch the Netflix film The Good Nurse.  As I look back on the movie, I remember a lot of screen time was spent on showing Jessica Chastain’s character's home life, which did not move the story along. Also there is no suspense in the movie because right off the bat, you knew who the criminal was and the crimes he committed.

 

However, If you are a fan of the actor, Jessica Chastain, You may want to check her out in the Netflix movie, The Good Nurse. Or you may want to check out other Netflix movies that will keep your interest instead.

 

Rating of The Good Nurse Netflix Movie

 

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Good Nurse Netflix movie 3 stars.

Blackout: A Netflix Movie Review

 Blackout movie film crime thriller cartel 2022 Netflix Josh Duhamel review reviews 1

 

Introduction to Blackout: A Netflix Movie Review

 

I intended to watch the Blackout Netflix movie starring Josh Duhammel as Caine as soon as it was released. However, my Blackout Netflix movie-watching did not happen as soon as I planned. 

 

To make a long story short, eventually, I watched the Netflix movie, Blackout. Was I satisfied with the movie after I watched it. Did I regret not watching the Blackout Netflix movie sooner?

 

Even more importantly, should you take the time to watch the Netflix movie, Blackout?

 

Check out my movie review of the Netflix movie Blackout to find out.

 

Synopsis of Blackout Netflix Movie

 

The Blackout Netflix movie centers around Josh Duhammel as Caine who is the main character.  Josh Duhammel’s character has lost his memory and the movie storyline shows what happens to him when he did not have his memory.

 

On a positive note, Josh Duhammel's characteris  doctor assured him that eventually his memory would return. However, the problem is that in the interim, unsavory characters are chasing Josh Duhammel’s character with the intent to harm him. Even worse, Josh Duhammel's enemies are unknown to him. The enemies are after the silver suitcase that Josh Duhammel’s character had in his possession shortly before he lost his memory.

 

Action Scenes in Blackout Netflix Movie

 

The Blackout Netflix movie has a fair amount of action scenes. If you watch the Blackout Netflix movie, you will see chases, explosions etc. that are  usually part of an action movies' playbook.  

Blackout movie film crime thriller cartel 2022 Netflix review reviews Nick Nolte

Realism in Blackout Netflix Movie

 

There were a few unrealistic scenes in the Blackout Netflix movie. For example, while Josh Duhammel’s character was in the hospital, he asked his visitors who they were iincluding his wife who he, of course, did not recognize due to his amnesia.

 

However, I thought it was strange that he was not curious about how he got to the hospital. He also did not seem concerned who the doctor was who was treating him – for instance, his name, medical credentials, etc.

 

Repetitive Scenes in the Blackout Netflix Movie

 

During the Blackout Netflix movie, you will see several scenes where Josh Duhammel’s character is being chased with the majority of the action taking place in the hospital when he was being treated. I think the Blackout Netflix movie would have kept my interest if the locations of the action scenes were more varied. This is especially true when I found out that Josh Duhammel's character's job is with a spy agency.

 

In other words if the locations of the action scenes changed from the hospital, the movie would have, in my opinion, been more enjoyable to watch. This is the case even though the Netflix Blackout movie is about an agent who lost his memory. To summarize, I think the writers could have chosen more exciting locations for the action scenes that took place in the Netflix movie, Blackout.

 

Suspense in the Blackout Netflix Movie

 

The above being said, there is low-key suspense in the Blackout Netflix movie. For example, you may wonder if Josh Duhammel’s character will get his memory back. You may also be curious about the contents of the briefcase that was in his possession shortly before Josh Duhammnel’s character lost his memory.  Even with this smidget of suspense, unfortunately, I’m unable to recommend you watch Blackout, if you expect to enjoy an entertaining action movie.

 

The saving grace of the Blackout  Netflix movie is that should you decide to watch it despite my movie review, the film will not take up too  much of your time – lasting 1 hour, 21 minutes.

 

As for me, I’m happy I prolonged watching the Blackout Netflix  movie. After finally watching the movie it looks like I was not missing much.

 

Assessment of the Blackout Netflix Movie

 

As I alluded to above,  I waited quite a while to watch the Blackout Netflix movie. Now after seeing the Netflix  movie, Blackout, I have no regrets in waiting to watch this film.  Reasons being the storyline to me was too simple, the actions were repetitive and there were no standout scenes in the Blackout Netflix movie that is worth talking about.

 

As a comparison, after watching  a Tom Cruise action movie, you may recall some of the stunts or in the case of the Top Gun:Maverickmovie, you may remember when Tom Cruise’s character took it upon himself to fly a plane along a dangerous mountainous route that he was teaching his students. This was daring on his part and one of the many memorable scenes in the Top Gun: Maverick movie.

 

In the case of the Blackout Netflix movie, I can unequivocally say that there are no standout moments in the film.

Rating of the Blackout Netflix  Movie.

 

Based on a rating og 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Blackout Netflix movie, 2 stars.
