Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) is a New York cop that takes his wife Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston) on a long awaited European trip in an attempt to reinvigorate their relatively stale marriage. Instead, however, the pair end up tangled in the middle of a murder case after witnessing the death of an elderly billionaire. A solid Adam Sandler comedy flick that contains two or three genuine laugh out loud moments, but probably isn’t something you’ll be watching again anytime soon.
Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a highly skilled federal air marshal, traveling on a transatlantic flight from New York to London but at the same time he’s struggling to overcome his daughter’s tragic death – turning to drink as a result. While on duty, he receives a series of text messages from an apparent fellow passenger, demanding 150 million dollars to be transferred into an offshore bank account. If this isn’t done, the perpetrator promises to kill a fellow passengers every 20 minutes for the duration of the flight. A surprisingly entertaining movie that keeps you entertained and guessing from start to finish.
A movie centered around Howie Ratner (Adam Sandler), a fascinating New York City jeweler, who’s struggling to cope with a crippling gambling addiction as well as the breakup of his family.

A marmite movie for some, that perhaps got a little too much hype for its own good before being officially released to audiences. Uncut Gems is currently streaming on Netflix.
After being caught up in the shooting of a young and seemingly innocent man, Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg), is a cop that consequently loses his job, forcing him into eventually working for Mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe) in a job that from the outside seemed simple enough, but this proved to be just a minor piece of a much larger and more complex puzzle in this politically charged drama.
A relatively impressive Netflix production sees five former secret agents, most of who’m were going through financial hardship, re-unite for one seemingly final task – to raid and eliminate a drug lord that until now, had successfully evaded authority.
