Believe it or not, Netflix has vastly improved its online streaming library over the last few months. Here are some films to take a peek at:
Oldboy – If you’re looking for a thriller that features quality character development, a deep engaging plot, and epic fight scenes, Oldboy is a must see. Korean filmmaker Chan-Wook Park delivers on his trademark vengeance plots and stomach churning visuals. Not a film for the easily queasy or uncomfortable, Park often likes to push and pull his audience with graphic scenes of sex and violence. Don’t be discouraged however; this film is worth every uncomfortable and intense moment. In the end you will be left wide eyed and with incomprehensible satisfaction.
Netflix synopsis: With no clue how he came to be imprisoned, drugged and tortured for 15 years — and no one to hold accountable for his suffering — a desperate businessman seeks revenge on his captors, relying on assistance from a friendly waitress. (Subtitled)
Other Netflix Notable’s:
Act of Valor: A story of heroism and honor. Filmed using real life Navy Seals, Act of Valor reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice our military members make every day to protect our homeland and defend freedom. – Great action sequences.
Tommy Boy: Rewind to 1995, funny men Chris Farley and David Spade make the perfect dysfunctional comedic duo who will leave you laughing out loud once again. – Stellar comedic performance’s mixed with a little romance.
