The Debt
Was cool. And intense. I think it suffered from a non-linear timejump trap in that one plotline (the one in the 60s) was much more engaging than the other (the one in the 90s), which might've been fine for its own movie but paled in comparison to the spy-thriller claustrophobia of the other half. However, the 1960s plot was pretty amazing even though it easily could've been corny, and I got dragged into caring about Rachel/David like the corner of my jacket caught in a meat grinder. All the acting was tight, but Marton Csokas stood out the most for me, followed by Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain probably. Though Ciarán Hinds retains his ability to make me feel things.
I'm never sure how I feel about the morality of Nazi-hunting movies, but that's true of pretty much all of them. This one didn't really have the room to be more complicated about that than it was.

Have been reading and watching more stuff than I whap up here, of course, but a few one-shots: Suits finale good but not as good as the penultimate episode. I don't even know what I'd say about The Hour, too awesome. I don't even know what I'd say about Doctor Who either by this point, too... well, there's awe involved, definitely, I have experienced what you could call awe.
