In what is certainly a lesser Michael Mann film, Chris Hemsworth stars as hacker Nicholas Hathaway released from prison to help a joint taskforce between the United States and China headed by Hathaway’s college roommate PLA Captain Chen Dawai (Leehom Wang). The small group also includes Dawai’s sister Chen Lien (Tang Wei) with Viola Davis and Holt McCallany making up the American side of the group. While not connected to the cyber-attacks themselves, Hathaway is responsible for the code used by the hackers to break into systems in both the United States and China.

Fuck Marry Kill

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Fuck Marry Kill
  • IMDb: link

I really do root for Lucy Hale, but she doesn’t make it easy. Fuck Marry Kill is a middling romantic comedy spliced together with a below-average thriller that leaves everyone unsatisfied. Hale stars as 30 year-old Eva who jumps back in to the dating scene after the end of a long relationship (with a doofus we can’t possibly see her spending 8 minutes with let alone 8 years) just as a serial killer is targeting young women from dating apps. While the killer is discussed early on, most of the first-half of the film follows Eva meeting three bachelors and discovering she’s walked into the classic Fuck, Marry, Kill scenario with her friends (Virginia Gardner, Bethany Brown, and JayR) and sister (Brooke Nevin) all having differing opinions on who she should end up with.
