Warrior Nun - Corinthians 10:20-21

The fallout from the ill-fated heist actually works itself out quicker than expected. Imprisoned by the crown,  Ava (Alba Baptista) awakes in a dark space with demon creatures, and only after she’s been sufficiently weakened does Father Vincent (Tristán Ulloa) remove the crown just as Miguel (Jack Meade) arrives for the timely save. Still coy about who he is and what he knows, the pair follow Adriel (William Miller) followers to a meeting where his acolytes are demonically possessing the scared locals who are running from the same hallucinatory fear gas let loose in the streets that Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young) encounters. Reminding more than a little of Scarecrow gas from Batman comics and cartoons, the effect works well driving people into the church’s arms.

For another week, the show offers Mercer working a case outside of his consultant role for the FBI finding a rhythm that has been missing in the previous episodes. “The Real Deal” gives us Alec on a date with Rose (Karen David) that turns into an investigation of a forged masterpiece. It’s easily the best episode of the series, in part to the chemistry between Martin and David, but also with the show capturing a bit more fun than the more gruesome cases Alec usually finds himself involved in.

Movies about assassins almost always fall into the forgettable B-movie action-thriller variety, however there are some exceptions. Michael Fassbender stars in this slow burn thriller as a skilled assassin who fails an assignment. The first 20 minutes of the film show Fassbender waiting patiently for events to line up to take out his latest target focusing on both the methodical routine and readiness he sticks to and the large amount of downtime, boredom, and waiting involved. When the hit goes wrong, out killer flees the scene and makes his escape only to discover his employers have decided to take precautions and remove him as well.
