Will Trent – He Lives!

  • Title: Will Trent – He Lives!
  • IMDb: link

Believing his uncle to have been captured by one of James Ulster’s (Greg Germann) disciples, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) rushes to Puerto Rico to work with an FBI agent (Mallory Jansen) to rescue him. The episode offers the trademark comedic spots, including Will barging in on Antonio (John Ortiz), who hasn’t been taken yet, and his lady friend, before things get serious in a trek through the jungle and a twist (which, admittedly, is pretty easy to see coming). It’s not the strongest episode, but the story does allow Will to continue working through his complicated feelings about Ulster while also offering the possibility that a number of his crazed fans might be out there to do his dirty work from the grave.

Dhurandhar The Revenge

  • Title: Dhurandhar The Revenge
  • IMDb: link

After an extended flashback explaining the circumstances in which Jaskirat Singh Rangi became Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh), the sequel continues the undercover agent’s work pitting the local Karachi’ gangs against each other while sewing dissent and rising in the ranks until he’s able to land a crippling blow against Pakistan’s terror network. Intentionally bloodier and gorier than the first film, Dhurandhar The Revenge completes the story loosely inspired by real events with a patriotic, and one could even argue propagandist, spin.
