The Courier (2012)
A specialist carrier is hired to deliver a mysterious case to the underworld's most dangerous hitman.
Average thriller has lots of action, but with an uninteresting, costrued plot and a disappointing ending.
Wind River (2017)
A veteran hunter helps an FBI agent investigate the murder of a young woman on a Wyoming Native American reservation.
Finely directed crime mystery with a convincing story, excellent cast and great landscape cinematography; unfortunately, the ending celebrates an act of vigilantism.

First Lines: Philip Kerr - A German Requiem
It was a cold, beautiful day, the kind you can best appreciate with a fire to stoke and a dog to scratch.
Babylon Berlin, Season 2 (2018)
The true nature of the locomotive, smuggled into the country and hijacked by Russian counter-revolutionaries and re-captured by the state, sitting in a hangar in the middle of nowhere, is finally revealed.
Successful continuation of the story with equal quality in style, atmosphere, period detail and the same excellent cast finally wraps up its complex plot into a final, albeit twisty conclusion.
The Fourth Estate (2018)
A look at how The New York Times covered President Trump's controversial first year in office.
Extensive, close-up and intimate documentation examining the inner workings of a newspaper in constant response to daily events; highly revealing, even in minor details.
