Thrilling New Series: FBI "Pilot" Series Premiere

Image result for fbi pilot

If you're a fan of the Dick Wolf series, mainly the Chicago series, this might be a show you would enjoy. While the sequel premiere wasn't the most excellent pilot to watch, it's got some teeth and interest that makes me want to tune in.

When a bombing at an apartment building goes off twice and takes many, even a child, the FBI team of Agents Maggie Bell and Omar Adom Zidan takes the case. But as their investigation begins, it leads to twists and turns as their suspects either get killed in another bombing or jail. But not only do the bombings get connected, but also the killings, as their investigation leads to a white supremacist leader, Robert Lawerance.

Just as Lawernce is on a talk show, the team searches for the last bomb that will go off any minute, which was at a prayer event. But with Agent Kristen Chazal's quick and expert in disabling the bomb, while Bell and Zidan awaited Lawernce to make a phone call to his 'lawyer" that was supposed to be a direct call to activate the bomb, but didn't

We learn through the episode more about Agent Bell, who lost her husband a few years ago as an investigating reporter, as she deals with the after-effects of the bombing in that a mother lost her child. But she gets the courage after capturing Lawernce to go to the little boy's funeral.

It wasn't the best pilot of the year, but I very much enjoyed watching this pilot and enjoyed the cast as well. The model plays so well with each other on screen. The exciting story kept me on the edge of my seat like other Wolf series like Chicago PD and SVU. Missy Peregrym is as fantastic as Agent Bell. Dallas Roberts kills as the villain in this episode, but not as great when he guestarredtar on Chicago PD. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Not to mention that it's funny with this fact that it's been 30 years since Dick Wolf and CBS were working on Law & Order, but the network passed on it and went to NBC for the next twenty years.

You can catch FBI Tuesdays at 9/8c on CBS.

I literally can't wait for PD to return. The one thing that I'm literally looking forward is how Ruzek and Antonio's relationship will be during this whole mess. They weren't any brotherly love at the start of the season.

Oh man! I can't wait til Med returns. I have a feeling that Bekker tries to decline Rhodes' offer on going to the gala. Can't wait to see the son-father fist fight. As for Manstead, I still have hope that these two will be married, but I know too much damage has been done with one lie from Will.

Unsane: An Underdog Movie of 2018


Image result for Unsane



If there was one movie in 2018 that stood out from the rest with all the superhero movies, it has to be Unsane. Let me just say that Unsane was insane.

The film is about Sawyer Valentini (played by Claire Foy), who's had a troubled history of moving away from her stalker and decides to get help and talk with a counselor. But after her appointment, she unknowingly signed papers for her to be committed to 24 24-hour stay at Highland Creek Behavioral Center.  She tries to get out, even calling the cops and her mother, but they can't do anything.

She develops a friendship with Nate Hoffman (played by Jay Pharoah), a patient at Highland; that doesn't start too well but ends up maybe being more than just friends. But when Sawyer sees her stalker, David Strine (played by Joshua Leonard), posing as one of the orderlies, she has an outburst, repeating whether she's insane.

But she plays to David's game after he killed Nate and even Sawyer's mother. Sawyer breaks David down to the point where he follows her orders because he cares for her so much that he would do anything for her to rape a patient in front of her.  But as he performs, Sawyer attacks escapeescapets caught again by David and drives her to his place through the woods. But she escapes again, and he goes after her again, but as she gets caught again, she stabs David in the neck and kills him.

After Sawyer is back at work, he seems to be okay, but when she thinks, she spots David again a few feet away from where Sawyer is eating. She soon walks up there with a knife until she sees it isn't him. She runs out and drives off.

"Unsane" is a fantastic work that asks if the lead character is insane or not. It starts slowly and builds up to an intense and dramatic high. Claire Foy gives another fantastic performance as Sawyer, and her chemistry with Pharoah is excellent. It feels like a documentary, and one of the astonishing facts about this movie is that it was shot from an iPhone 7. It has the Cookoo's Nest feel to it. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the film, gives another masterpiece once again.  If you haven't seen "Unsane," find the time to see it.

Overall, I give it a 9/10.

You can find "Unsane" on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital.
