L'Odyssée (2016)



Highly influential and a fearlessly ambitious pioneer, innovator, filmmaker, researcher and conservationist, Jacques-Yves Cousteau's aquatic adventure covers roughly thirty years of an inarguably rich in achievements life.

Well-produced biopic with some great nature and underwater cinematography and a competent cast never quite captures Jacques-Yves Cousteau's love and enthusiasm for oceans and nature.

Zulu (2013)



Two  South African policemen investigate the brutal murder of a young white woman, apparently provoked by the availability of a new illegal drug and somehow connected to the disappearance of black street children.

Despite professional production and a good star cast this movie is a cliché-ridden crime story (e.g. the messed-up drunken cop in a divorce), pumped up with some extreme violence and a political background story.

Anthony Zimmer (2005)



In Nice, the international police force and the Russian mafia are chasing Anthony Zimmer, an intelligent man responsible for laundry of dirty money in France, who had extensive plastic surgery, and his new face and voice are completely unknown.

Goodlooking thriller offers little suspense, and the twist ending is highly predictable.
