Blanchett's first collaboration with him since The Good German. The film
also is Soderbergh's second venture in the spy genre. A thrilling, intense, and
suspenseful mystery that slowly unravels, keeping viewers on their toes.

larger sports community that she was the right choice

comedy, then sprinkle a lot of Kate Hudson on, you get a
pretty entertaining and fun show to watch.

Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+)
Matt Murdock finds himself on a collision course with
Wilson Fisk when their past identities begin to emerge.
Resurrecting Charlie Cox's Daredevil with
his virtues intact, namely Vincent D'Onofrio
as his terrifying adversary the Kingpin, Born Again is
an ambitious and at times ungainly crime saga that marks
a mature tonal shift for the MCU. Absolutely the best
thing Marvel has released on their streaming
service and definitely lives up to the qualify and
visceral action of the Netflix show.
