Helen embarks on a passionate romance with a man who has no idea what her secret identity is. Helen’s employer, caught in the crosshairs when her lover falls victim to London’s dangerous underworld, calls Sam to protect her. He plays Bingo, the owner of the guitar shop where Sam obtains weapons. Rat Scabies, a member of The Damned.. Starring Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). Fairytale of New York Written by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowan Starring The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl. Various other characters enter the kaleidoscopic story as Knightley and Whishaw are drawn deeper and deeper into an increasingly inscrutable plot, while the mountain-sized bodies pile up around them, sometimes in their hands, while Whishaw still has time. to rekindle an old romance. Sharply directed with believable acting from its A-list stars, it somehow failed to deliver on its early promise for me and flopped on an overwrought plot that relied too much on chance, violence and unpredictable, offbeat characters. When it all came together at the end, I felt it fell somewhere between James Bond-type fantasy and Le Carre-type realism, with the escapism, unfortunately, ultimately winning out. I was wrong, it killed it. The same goes for Ben Whishaw, who also looks like he’s 100 pounds. Both were completely believable in their roles. I binged it and binged all 6 episodes over the weekend. Once I started watching it, I was hooked. I’m glad they’re planning on doing a second season because one isn’t enough. I want to see more of these characters and the world they’ve built here.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more!
