Is this film as action packed as some blockbusters? No, but it is very cleverly done and that's what makes it unique from other action films.
The film stars Rami Malek as Charlie Heller who works as a decoder for the CIA and after his wife's unfortunate murder the CIA refuses to help him go after his wife's killers. Charlie then decides to go on his own revenge quest, but whilst completing this quest he also has to avoid the CIA, who keep sending agents to stop him.
Along the way Charlie soon finds out that he's not capable of looking the terrorists who murdered his wife in the eyes just before he pulls the trigger. So instead he sets up traps for them and these traps are clever. The ways he elludes the CIA is also what makes his skills stand out and what makes the CIA work out that they definitely underestimated this computer hacker.
But when Charlie is first trying to get the CIA to help him and trying to escape from the CIA the film seems a bit slow. I also think the film could have benefited more from making the deaths more gory and more like games from the Saw movies.
However I do still think that this film is quite unique compared to other action films and that's why I would buy it on DVD...at a cheap price.

I'm not usually into sea life documentaries but the way this competition show educated and kept me on the edge of my seat really kept me entertained.
The fun fact side of the show educates you by telling you different facts about loads of different species of not just sharks but sea life in general. Whilst the competition side of the show keeps you on the edge of your seat when you see 4 pairs of divers compete by trying to photograph as many different types of sharks as possible. But they can't just photograph some sharks, they have to photograph all the sharks because the rarer the shark the more points it scores.
To make the show more interesting the competitors travel through 6 exotic locations which look gorgeous and face not just sharks, but also strong currents and equipment mishaps that really push them to their limit. And whoever is leading by the time they leave each location wins a mini prize which is nice to see because some Netflix shows only give out a big prize at the end but hardly anything along the way.
So overall I really enjoyed seeing this unique show and hope they make a new series soon, because I can't wait for a second bite.
