Movie Forums Top 100 of the 2010s - Group Watch

I watched Marshland (2014), and it was okay, but I didn't love it the way most people seem to love it. The first hour was too slow, but it picked up a bit as it went on. But I never really cared much about the characters, so it basically just seemed like an average crime mystery to me. And I didn't really care for the open ending.

OPEN FLOOR.

The unresolved ending worked for me, but I understand how it wouldn't for others.

I loved the original Secret in their eyes. Will look up Mystery Road.

Marshland

This film has some amazing cinematography. Right from the start it catches your attention with its visuals.

Set against the back drop of post Franco Spain, a nation still healing and dealing with the ramifications of its despotic past, 2 detectives must work together to solves a disappearance. Or two rather. Sisters. The mystery deepens when they turn up murdered, and further murders are revealed.

The detectives are of course, different in terms of political ideology. Pedro, a family man, wrote papers denouncing Franco, and was punished for it. His partner, served under Franco has to deal with the rumors of his past associated with it. Their respective differences are never really dealt with satisfactory to my liking. But I think that was the point.

Regardless, the tale is a grilling and taut thriller, and one I’m not likely to forget anytime soon.

Those top down views were amazing.

Yes, and absolutely yes.

The next host is...

Usual story, if it's freely available to me I'll try to give it a spin.

To be really clear, I wasn't upset that it wasn't resolved. I think that's realistic to how people in a country that was so split would have to uneasily exist side by side without some neat resolution or whatever.

I wish that it had been explored a little more. How does this guy feel about his past? Is he ashamed? Is he indifferent: that was my job then, this is my job now?

Haven't heard of it before, will try to watch.

It's on Tubi

Let's just get to the countdown already lol

We still have like a month until the deadline. Some of us are still busily preparing. I'm nowhere near ready to vote.

Whoa there big fella.

But you haven't even submitted your ballot yet.

Laziness. Although there are about 4 more I want to watch before the countdown.

Right, so then you're not ready for the countdown to start right now, correct?

Once I'm done with those 4 it can start immediately.

Fair enough, just make sure to take about a month and four days to watch them.
