City Hunter - Another Live Action Adaptation of the Hugely Popular 1980s Manga

I have seen this movie in the upcoming section of Netflix for quite some time and was looking forward to watch it. So once it was finally released two days ago, I immediately gave it a try. Without further ado, let's get right on it.

Brief Story Line

Ryo Saeba (Ryohei Suzuki - Tokyo MER: The Movie, The Emperor's Cook TV series etc) and his partner Makimura (Masanobu Ando - The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn't Kill, Sukiyaki Western Django etc) were asked to find a missing person named Kurumi (Asuka Hanamura). While pursuing a lead, they found that Kurumi was involved in drugs that made people do erratic behavior. The case was also being investigated by the police, led by Detective Saeko (Fumino Kimura - Seven Secretaries: The Movie etc).

Having known that this movie would be released by Netflix on 19 April 2024, I already set my time to watch it as soon as it would be available. So yesterday after I came home from work, I immediately watch it from the comfort of my bedroom. All right, let's get to it then.

(TV SERIES) Fallout Season 1 - An Entertaining Sci-Fi Action Drama Series Based on the Highly Successful Video Game Franchise

I was already planning to watch this on the day it was released on Prime Video few days ago. But once I again I failed to realize that it was actually a series instead of a movie. So I decided to postpone watching it until the weekend when I could better concentrate to finish the whole season. Well I will go ahead with the series then.

Brief Story Line

219 years after nuclear war in 2077, some people were living peacefully in a Fallout shelter called the Vaults. Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell - Army of the Dead, Yellowjackets TV series etc) from Vault 33 decided to go to the surface in search of her father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan - The House with a Clock in its Walls, Tesla etc) and leaving her younger brother Norm (Moisés Arias - Samaritan, Jean-Claude Van Johnson TV series etc) who preferred to stay behind. During her journey, Lucy got mixed up in an altercation with a Ghoul bounty hunter (Walter Goggins - Ant-man and the Wasp, Vice Principals TV series etc) which would hinder her personal objective.
