HUDSON & REX
Stopklatka and Filmbox+ are showing the latest season of "Hudson & Rex" at 7 p.m. CET Monday to Friday starting tonight. Over the next 3 months I'm going to catch up with previous seasons as well as the new one and let you know if they're worth seeing.
THE SURFER
Watchable. As a thriller where one protagonist strives to make his dream come true at all costs (literally) while cornered by a group of thugs it works: it's gripping, unsettling, you root for the hapless American guy remembering surfing in Australia in childhood. But the social background of who the thugs are and their motivation is far-fetched. All this toxic masculinity is over-the-top and disturbing. But men in the audience applauded the movie at the end so maybe it rings some bells for them. There's a voice-only post-credit saying: "You either surf it or you get wiped out". That clarifies the protagonist's hellbent motivation when anyone else would have given up.
