@canefan I think more a commentary that he had history as a bad egg, rather than him actually being guilty.

Right. No one in that position is squeaky clean. Just that he didn't do that crime?

Yeah the same as David Doherty , who admitted he was a career criminal but didn’t do the crime he was sent away for.

How it ends. Apocalyptic movie with father and prospective son-in-law battling their way across the country to save the daughter/ fiancee. It's a bit long and there's the required "as if" moments, but it moves along and fills up the time.
If you've got two hours and want to be mindlessly entertained, watch it.
Watched this last night, agree was pretty decent. End was weak, but otherwise decent.

Extinction on Netflix. Good concept horribly executed. And another great example of why children in survival situations should be the first to go. Making noise and running off exposing everyone else to needless danger.
Don't bother.

Obviously, I haven't seen the movie referred to but from previous docos on TV no one has glossed over the fact that he wasn't a totally innocent citizen, just that he was innocent of murder. In fact it was key to the narrative that the police used his background to pin the murder on him (particularly gang affiliation) and ignored other facts.
It will always be an issue with police investigations that they get diverted by bias such as that mentioned by Virgil above. -
Did a bit of flying and caught up with some movies.
Black Panther - I enjoyed it but glad I was pre-aware that it had been massively overhyped. 3.5 ethno-states out of 5.
3 Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri - Gripping but it seemed a little far fetched which kind of tempered my enjoyment for some reason..you know for a movie that was kinda realistic rather than a straight up fantasy. 3.5 midget dates outta 5.
Avengers (new one..) - Waaaay better than the last Avengers, time seemed to fly by. 4 outta 5 infinity stones.
I also re-watched 'Fight Club' which I hadn't seen in a number of years. I was a little nervous about doing it as a number of older movies haven't lived up to my memories of late. Well I needn't have been. Solid 5 punches in the ear outta 5. Easily my favourite movie of all time.

I reckon Fight Club is one of THE most overrated movies of our times. It's ok but no more than that.
How did you think 3 billboards was far fetched?

@Rembrandt Like you, I have done a bit of flying in past 10 days (London and Back)
Watched all three Avengers. I am a bit of a softy for a nice ending and was left gutted and disappointed with the last Avengers. Some awesome characters eliminated (I'm assuming they will use a time stone to bring them back or summink)
Fight Clubs Rooooocks! I have just watched that again recently. Brad Pitt is one of my favourate actors I think.
I know most people dislike but I watched Justice League on the way to London and again on the way home. I really liked it.

Hard to put my finger on exactly, much of the characters actions just didn't seem likely, found it very difficult to engage my 'suspension of disbelief'. Still enjoyed it though.

I can only assume this is a troll. Or a russian bot. No red blooded male would ever make such a statement, even in jest.
