I started into this documentary with great interest as I lived in Brussels for quite some time and got to know the 'Brussels bubble' a bit closer than most viewers in the world. But sadly, I did not get to like it, and my interest fell pretty soon.

If I have to characterise 'The Brussels Business', it's like a 'smart' movie of the dumb people, comparable to how an infamous brexiteer politician is often characterised as the "smart person of the dumb people" (Britons know who I mean :) ).

The Brussels Business seems more of a propaganda movie with subtle intonations and subconscious suggestions to put reality in a different light. The movie itself is not a sci-fi, and shows a lot of real person and facts, just in a light that changes reality.

Surely, no Oscar material, or a match to Guy Ritchi's Gentlemen, but this movie gave me a very entertaining two hours with a well told story, massive efforts from not very talented actors (but efforts go a long way) and a consistent use of practical effects.

Surprisingly, the few well-known names (Meany and Pertwee) deliver the films least memorable moments, but Colm Meany's worst is still on par with the lead actors' best. But the lead cast do try to "steal the show" from them. Kirk delivers a solid performance as lead and I do not felt that I ever dropped my attention or got bored of her as the lead.

Altogether, I enjoyed this move and I wouldn't mind seeing it again in a few months' time.

Buddy-mercenary comedy with jungle survival is probably one of the oldest clichés, Freelance make it a brilliant and refreshing take on the genre.

Never been a big fan of Cena, but this movie suits him so well, and comes together just right. The storytelling is spot on (e.g. The intro that explains the whole life and character of the main character), the refined details that make the supporting cast much more three dimensional, even if the story seems predictable at first glance.

And then it all get mixed up so well, the friends are no longer that friendly, the bad guys get to show some depth and even badder guys show up, and you find yourself on a really enjoyable rollercoaster.
