Mehnificent

Cold Wallet, the 2024 thriller directed by Cutter Hodierne, dives headfirst into the chaotic world of cryptocurrency, perfectly capturing the mania surrounding digital assets, meme coins, and the ever-looming specter of rug pulls. With a plot that is as relevant as today's headlines, the film follows a ragtag group of Redditors who, after losing their savings to a notorious crypto scam, resort to drastic measures. Their scheme leads them to the secluded mansion of the enigmatic Charles Hegel, played by Josh Brener, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown that blends dark comedy with moral ambiguity. As the film explores the lengths to which everyday individuals will go in the pursuit of justice—or money—it increasingly pushes viewers into a whirlwind of ethical dilemmas and tension.

where do I even begin with this cinematic adventure? Picture this: a movie that claims to be an action thriller but ends up feeling like a list of every bad spy cliché ever written—on a napkin.

As a huge fan of the original "The Crow," I approached the 2024 remake with mixed feelings. Brandon Lee's performance profoundly impacted me, and the tragic circumstances of his death during filming only added to the film's mystique and emotional weight. With high hopes for Bill Skarsgård, who I genuinely enjoy as an actor, I was eager to see his take on Eric Draven. However, I quickly found myself disappointed.

Despite the mixed reviews circulating online, I couldn't ignore the allure of “Criminal.” Critics have noted a disjointed plot and uneven character development, with some expressing disappointment in how the film utilizes its talented cast.
