I mostly write positive reviews for movies I find to be underrated, but Kimi has gotten so many 5 star reviews (out of 6) in my country's biggest media, that I feel almost obligated to write this.

This is by far the most shallow movie I've seen in a long time. It wants to comment on the effects of technology and COVID, on society and on individuals, but these comments have been seen a lot of times already. The pandemic have been here for over two years, and therefore I felt this should have come out last year. Maybe that is why it doesn't seem original at all.

But even if it had premiered a lot earlier, I don't really believe it would have been easier to feel the character(s) journey, because of the level of shallowness in Kimi. You learn almost nothing about the characters or the relationships betrayed in the film. Kimi is just there on the screen and she talks to her mother, her shrink, her kind off boyfriend (i guess), some contractor-guy downstairs (what is up with him), a guy on zoom, who drives the plot forward etc. Etc. A guy is looking at her with goggles from across the street, which is creepy but mostly forgotten later in the film.

And then the biggest problem: It is boring! Because you feel nothing for the character(s) and the relationship, you are not engaged in the plot in any way. There are not even twists and turns or any entertaining features that would have made it an easy no brainer thriller for Saturday night. It really feels like HBO sent out an unfinished film, and it is hard to see that this is from the same man, who made Side Effects (2013).

Kimi just forgets plotlines (what happens to Brad for instance?), which annoyed me to the point where I almost turned off. The acting is horrible, especially from the bad guys, but overall bad. It seemed almost like a Movie school-project in some scenes for me. I hate to be so negative, but this is just a non interesting film...

Things I liked: The cinematography is overall decent and I liked Zoe Kravitz as Angela, but I highly recommend you skip this. If you watch it anyway, try noticing how the relationships are portrayed and how the movie just forgets things along the way. If nothing else this is an interesting case study for how not to do plot.

Just saw this for the first time, and although my own knowledge about movies in the thriller genre is quite good I had never heard of it. Therefore I wanted to know why, and I can understand that many reviewers found it too unpleasant and even offending towards muslims.

I respect that viewpoint, but in my opinion it is a complete misinterpretation of the movie and its message. For me it is all about questioning our own ethic and morality. It's the essence of humanity. Who is the evil one in this piece? Is H a hero? Is he a villain? Would we completely destroy a human being to save millions? How much is one life worth?

"Unthinkable" had me questioning myself and my values and shift constantly between hating Yusuf and feeling sorry for him. And the same thing goes for H. I wanted him to achieve his goals to save millions of people but in some sequences I hated him more than Yusuf. What the movie does so brilliantly is showing H as a loving father and husband in one scene and the next as a monster, so that you have no chance deciding what is right and what is wrong. How can you do that to another human being and still be a "normal" person?

I think "Unthinkable" displays the lack of morality with almost every character, especially in the end, where even the most kind person shows his or hers dark sides. As much as it says anything about muslims. I can understand if one confuses this as an evil movie with the message of how everyone in the end is capable of doing evil things - even with good intentions.

This movie does simply not take part, and therefore is unbelievably hard to watch, because it demands so much of its viewers. I found it very unpleasant, even though Im not faint hearted at all, and that must've been the point. In some way, this movie does a lot of good, because despite of all the evil in it, I wanted to be even more good and kind to other people that day. We all have the ability to do evil, but the most important thing is, that we have the ability to do good as well - and Im not particularly religious.

I thought it was brilliant because of the reflection it encourage you to do. All this aside it's also just a very tense thriller, that will have you on the edge of your seat. The acting is good and especially the three main characters are superb. I admire Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Sheen for their bravery taking on these parts, because they most have known that this movie could cause controversies and divide the audience into two groups.

It's very important to say, that Im not a muslim myself, and therefore can't feel whether or not this is offending to this group, but as described I interpreted the message in this movie in a whole other way. It's so rare coming across movies that make you questioning yourself all the way through but this one does, and if nothing else that's highly interesting.

This is one of the single best episodes of a series I've ever seen - and I've seen all the Big ones.

One of the outstanding things about this show is that the writing is incredible, almost flawless. It seems orchestrated down to the smallest details. This is not an action filled series. I mean it's a show about some spoiled kids all wanting daddy's company, but still it delivers jaw-dropping nail biters like this. Im speechless. If I could give it 11 stars I would.
