Black Crab (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A risk mission on the ice
Swedish Netflix film “Black Crab”, which was released a few days ago, does not bring anything particularly new to its gritty genre territory, and that was rather disappointing to me when I watched it in one early morning. Although it … Continue reading
Windfall (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Three people stuck in one place
