A hotel manager-type is key in a plot with a politician-type.

To dispose of bodies, criminal enterprises send people back in time to kill them. For some reason.
I mean, it’s a movie. It’s not bad, but it’s definitely dumb.

A boy is saved by a mob man, and becomes an assassin as repayment only to become embroiled in the crime world.
Gentle and moody. A little cheesy and a little lame, but I still like it a lot.

A criminal group sedates and enters the dreams of targets to steal their secrets.
I’m sure it’s wonderful and nuanced for lots of people, but to me it’s just okay. I find it rather obvious and uninteresting.

A couple moves to a quiet and friendly town, but the wife, with no job and her kids grown up, has enough free time to be unhappy.
Many movies build very slowly, and this one comes from a time when that was acceptable. So if you can handle have the patience to not fidget while you wait for “the big reveal” then you will definitely like this.

Some mumbling hoodlums have shitty lives that get shittier.
I guess this is a fair character story, but I can’t understand enough of what they’re saying to really be enthralled by the acting or drama.

The past returns to haunt a retired crime boss.
Quite watchable. I think it’s trivially surpassed by a lot of movies, but this has a reasonable simplicity without creating too much of a superhuman protagonist.

The son of a criminal boss strikes a deal that goes bad, and veteran muscle becomes embroiled in the mess.
It’s standard fare; nothing particularly interesting, but if you like this sort of thing then it’s perfectly watchable.

A drama about a secret society of nerds? I don’t know.
Fuck man, this show is utterly alien. It’s Chinese, and this storytelling is just fucking terrible. I guess I’ll wait for the American version.

- Unfortunately it’s partially (and badly) animated.
