I wouldn't say this is one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's top 5 episodes: but the acting towards the end is 10 out of 10.
Pros: Some of the photography, scene music, dialogue, and acting is just incredible here! The message throughout this episode is: Nobody is perfect. Seeing Riley get caught at that vamp nest was surprising! Plus Spike with his sly remark afterwards lol.
During the Buffy and Riley brake up scene: This is pretty much Sarah & Mark's peak acting. The dialogue is so good here. It's actually one of the more stronger acted scenes through out the whole show! Afterwards another strong acted scene with Xander.
Seeing Riley takeoff in the helicopter, buffy walk through the streets: so melodramatic! Grate😀. The photography & and music was incredible here. Then their final scene: A photography shot of Buffy on her house stairway sad. Which fades to Riley in the helicopter, with his hair blowing through the wind wow! The scene music is so good here!
Cons: The first half of the episode is not that relevant to what the episode is about. It's like their is two topics going on!
Overall: I really felt the 2nd half of this episode. It really shows that no man or woman is perfect. Through life we search for Mrs or Mr right but not even they are perfect. Figuring this out is a fight for Buffy, (and most people at this age). Unfortunately she loses this fight. I remeber seeing this episode airing on Skyone channel back in the day. I have to say, it still holds up. The topic is more for mature people but still good. Grate acting, and production.

Pros: Angel was made in an era where entertainment was all about imagination. In this show, it reflects this a lot. The writing is super-colourful. So many grate fanatasy characters. Grate production qualities. Has high rewatchability. Cool location sets, vibrant worlds like: Piliah (the sets in this world are amazing), and the gritty streets of L. A. Nice action scenes, sideplots, and cross-over characters. Terrific costume, and makeup designs, and dialogue. This show has good all-around balance: It's dramatic, funny, imaginative, and serious all at the same time. Good mix of old and new school special effects.
Cons: To be honest, there's not much i disliked about this show. The first season had a darker tone. Also it was darker in comparison with Buffy, but thats it. The story isn't super complicated but it doesn't need to be. It's the correct balance for this type of show.
Overall: What more is there to say! This is peak t.v fantasy at its best. I thought it was incredible back then. It still is now. The show made David Boriarnez who he is! And alot of others actors too. Highly recommended fantasy watch.👍 Final grade: 8.2 out of 10.

Son of a gun review.
Pros: This is a good little independant crime movie. What shines here is the acting from 3 star actors. It's rare these days you see actors of this quality star in a film like this. Ewan Mcgregor does a marvelous job as a robbery convict. Brenton Thwaits has a good onscreen breakout performance here: as a young criminal in a bad jam within prison. Last but not least: the beautiful Alicia Vikander plays the lost girl; looking for a way out of a crime syndicate. The story is good, and so is the feel of the scenes. There's some nice photography shots, cool-edgy prison dialogue, and edgy action sequences and atmosphere. Grate characters too.😀
The best part of the movie is probably the first half. However the acting by the stars was solid all the way through.
Cons: The story could have been more elaborated. More details could have gone into how things unfolded for specific scenes & action sequences. Mainly some of the prison stuff and middle of the movie. Some of the scene editing was too fast. Dialogue within scenes could of been more detailed throughout whole movie: with more explaination of how things play out.
Overall: It's a good little crime movie. It's not perfect, but will entertain you as a watcher. Gritty crime fans will probably love it. This type of genre is what made Ewan mcgregor famous in the first place. If you like him as actor: which most do, you will enjoy this. Cool mid-2000s crime movie. Final grade: 7.1 out of 10.
