An inspired combination of drawing-room mystery and ghost story, the modestly scaled, smartly staged “Brooklyn 45” is set in a single location on a single night a homey Park Slope brownstone on Dec. 27, 1945. But writer-director Ted Geoghegan packs in plenty of plot and gives an excellent cast some flavorful dialogue and rich characters to play; his crew supports them with a meticulously dressed set, a colorful visual palette, and some sparse but well-deployed visual effects. Most of what makes “Brooklyn 45” so entertaining doesn’t cost a lot of money. It just takes talent, and horror legend Larry Fessenden plays Lt. Col. Clive “Hock” Hockstatter, who invites some old friends and Army buddies to his home a month after his wife Susan died. He’s joined by the ruthless military interrogator Marla Sheridan Anne Ramsay and her Pentagon pencil-pusher husband Bob Ron E. Rains, along with the gung-ho old soldier Maj. Paul DiFranco Ezra Buzzington and the publicly disgraced Maj. Archibald Stanton Jeremy Holm. Hock asks the party to join him in a seance, which gets interrupted by a shocking act of violence and the surprise arrival of a German immigrant neighbor, Hildy Kristina Klebe, who may be a Nazi structures “Brooklyn 45” a lot like a stage play, where the characters reveal secrets about themselves over the course of one spooky evening — and where every 15 minutes the plot takes another surprising turn. Each actor gets a turn in the spotlight, and each makes the most of it, delivering little speeches about their characters’ wartime activities that subtly change the way the other people in the apartment see them. This movie is mostly an exercise in retro pulp, but it’s a well-made one with some sharper points lurking beneath the old-fashioned style. At its prickliest, this is a film about the ways social niceties can mask deep distrust and dark pasts — which still have a way of surfacing eventually.Brooklyn 45.’ Not rated. 1 hour, 32 minutes. Available on Shudder/AMC+Unidentified Objects’ Two standout leading performances mitigate against some overwrought kookiness in “Unidentified Objects,” an indie dramedy tinged with science fiction. Matthew August Jeffers plays Peter, a self-described “college-educated homosexual dwarf,” who spent the pandemic doing what he was inclined to do anyway sitting alone in his New York apartment, reading Chekhov. Sarah Hay plays Peter’s neighbor Winona, who refers to herself as “a human who does sex work.” Sarah offers to help pay Peter’s overdue bills if he can help her get to Canada, where she expects to be reunited with the extraterrestrials who abducted her as a trip involves Peter borrowing or more accurately stealing a car from an absent friend. On the way, the two encounter smugglers, cosplayers, violent goons and aliens — some of them real, and some merely figments of Peter’s constantly racing imagination. Director Juan Felipe Zuleta and screenwriter Leland Frankel get too cutesy with this blending of reality and fantasy, but they and their cast are spot on with their depiction of Peter and Winona’s shared desperation. They both have a lot riding on this journey, which they’ve come to believe is their last chance to wring some meaning out of lives other people see as pitiable. Jeffers and Hay have a strong chemistry, and they make Peter and Winona’s vivacity and pain feel equally real, even when the movie around them is shading toward the phony.Unidentified Objects.’ Not rated. 1 hour, 40 minutes.

Available on Peacock Finalmente depois de muito tempo voltei por aqui, pra falar de um drama que terminou já faz um tempinho mas foi tão maravilhoso que tinha que vir aqui surtar com vocês! Em meio a uma temporada de dramas que começaram muito bem e me decepcionaram no término, Duel teve um excelente desempenho do começo ao fim. Duel tem uma história original e diferente, com muita emoção, tensão e surpresas, o drama é mais uma excelente obra da OCN neste ano. O elenco é sensacional, mas o destaque é Yang Se Jong, que deixou os dorameiros apaixonados por sua atuação impecável em seus dois personagens do drama. Duel 듀얼 Episódios 16 Emissora OCN Ano 2017 Sinopse Jang Deuk Cheon Jung Jae Young é um chefe de polícia. Em casa ele é um pai dedicado e bondoso. Ele conhece um clone humano e acaba envolvido em um caso chocante. Antes de tudo, preciso falar que essa história é muito nova no meio dos dramas coreanos, raramente há histórias de clones, e da forma que Duel foi feito, não vi nada parecido mesmo. A temática já me agradou assim que comecei o primeiro episódio e só foi ganhando força ao longo do drama. O roteiro é muito bem conectado e nos mantém presos em todos os momentos. A teoria apresentada na história é bastante interessante e a trama equilibra bem os momentos de tensão e emoção. Fiquei feliz como roteirista e diretor conseguiram retratar tão bem a trama complexa e densa que é Duel. Eu ficava tensa, daqui a pouco com raiva, e segundos depois já estava chorando sim! e depois sorrindo inocente sem saber que daqui a pouco tudo ia ficar tenso de novo… e bom, era um ciclo delicioso de emoções que poucos dramas conseguem proporcionar. Simplesmente uma obra de arte! De longe, um dos meus preferidos da OCN. Tudo começa quando a filha de Jang Deuk Cheon Jung Jae Young é sequestrada. Ela tem leucemia e acaba de ganhar um tratamento novo e único que pode salvá-la. Ele é um policial e a princípio, não entende os motivos do sequestro. Com a ajuda dos colegas de trabalho ele vai resgatar sua filha mas se depara com o suspeito do crime e outro homem em cena que é exatamente igual o suspeito. Eles são Lee Sung Joon e Lee Sung Hoon Yang Se Jong. Jang Deuk Cheon percebe que as personalidades deles não são nada parecidas. Aos poucos o detetive e a polícia se envolvem num caso mais complexo ainda que envolvem clones, doenças e experimentos. Lee Sung Joon é o “clone bom” como eu o chamava até descobrir os nomes. Ele é um homem que simplesmente aparece em cena sem memória, sem saber nada sobre sua vida nem o porque dele estar ali. Lee Sung Hoon é o “clone mau”. Um homem cruel e revoltado e ele sim foi o “verdadeiro” sequestrador. Não é spoiler! Tá no primeiro episódio! Se me perguntassem no começo de Duel qual dos clones era meu preferido eu diria logo que era o Sung Hoon, isso mesmo, o malvado Mas ao longo da trama pude enxergar o quanto o Sung Joon foi maravilhoso e não só pelo fato de ser “bom” mas pelo personagem ter crescido demais. A verdade é que eu amava os dois e me emocionei e senti muito por eles. Queria que ambos tivessem um fim digno e que todo sofrimento fosse recompensado de alguma forma. E eu já falei no começo do post, que o elenco foi ótimo, mas Yang Se Jong, minha gente, foi sensacional! Eu não imaginei que fosse admirar tanto esse ator que começou com um personagem secundário e levinho em Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim mas se destacou tanto nos dramas seguintes. Em Duel ele foi maravilhoso interpretando dois personagens completamente opostos. No começo eu sempre fico com uma sensação estranha, porque eu sei que é o mesmo ator interpretando dois personagens mas em Duel eu esqueci logo desse detalhe e fiquei tão envolvida que nem lembrava que era um ator só, ainda mais quando estavam os dois em cena e era tão perfeita a junção da atuação com a produção. Yang Se Jong, meus parabéns, você é maravilhoso! A história não para só nesses três não. É muito maior do que você possa imaginar, e eu tenho medo de entrar em detalhes e soltar spoilers, por isso só digo uma coisa é tudo muito envolvente. Quando você acha que está entendendo alguma coisa aparecem outros personagens que tornam a trama toda confusa de novo. Sem falar nas várias teorias, nos fatos que vão nos surpreendendo aos poucos na história. Nada óbvio, o que eu adoro. A filha do Jang Deuk Cheon é Jang Soo Yeon Lee Na Yoon, uma menininha encantadora que facilmente conquista as pessoas a sua volta. Ficava preocupada sempre que ela estava em perigo mas adorava o fato dela ser uma menina inocente e ao mesmo tempo corajosa, que sempre que estava com o sequestrador plantava um pouquinho da sua doçura nele. Eu queria que ela fosse curada logo tanto quando o pai. Eu também senti muito e torcia por ela. Soo Yeon não passou sua vida presa dentro de um laboratório, nem sofreu tudo que os clones sofreram, mas passou muito da sua infância em médicos e hospitais e merecia igualmente ser feliz. Fiquei encantada também pela Ryu Mi Rae Seo Eun Su, uma personagem tão amorzinho. Uma repórter que quer descobrir mais sobre o passado da sua mãe e acaba se envolvendo nos casos. E ela simplesmente sem questionar muito começa a ajudar “dois estranhos” que precisam de ajuda. E ela dá casa, carro, comida e muito apoio. <3 Além disso, parte para os planos junto com eles e acaba tendo muito importância na história. Ela é uma fofa! Choi Jo Hye Kim Jung Eun é a detetive responsável pelo caso de sequestro da Soo Yeon e claramente se envolve no caso dos clones também. Mesmo com o mesmo objetivo de resgatar Soo Yeon e resolver o caso, os ideais dela são opostos aos de Jang Deuk Cheon o que cria ainda mais conflito na trama. Não é das minhas personagens favoritas, mas gostava da inteligência dela e do modo como lidava algumas coisas. Já falei muito o quanto os personagens do Yang Se Jong foram ótimos, mas também quero destacar o perseverante Jang Deuk Cheon, que diante das situações terríveis que vivenciou permaneceu firme. Claro que boa parte do seu ânimo de continuar foi por causa da sua filha, o tanto que esse pai queria protegê-la e salvá-la foi tocante mas ele se envolveu de tal forma com o Seung Joon e a Mi Rae e o amigo mala dela, rsrs que eles formaram um belo time. Nos poucos momentos que dava pra respirar normalmente no drama, eu até dava sorrisinhos com eles, que acabaram formando uma linda família. Eu queria falar de outros personagens e certos pontos da história, mas não vou dar spoilers aqui. Só saibam que a história só melhora a cada episódio e vai surgindo contas que me deixaram extremamente curiosa e envolvida . Todos os episódios são muito dinâmicos e cheios de reviravoltas. Eu achei que sofreria muito no fim do drama, e de fato sofri sim, com muitas coisas que aconteceram e principalmente por ter acabado um drama tão bom! Mas o final foi bem feito, fechadinho, bem explicado e teve seus momentos de deixar a gente feliz também. Vale super a pena! Como de costume, OCN sempre arrasa nas produções de ação, toda parte “técnica” do drama também está de parabéns. A trilha sonora não tem muitas músicas, mas é muito marcante, principalmente a dramática Nightmare do Mad Soul Child. As cenas do vídeo abaixo são dos primeiros episódios Enfim, Duel foi excelente e recomendo pra fazer maratona porque a curiosidade de ver o que vai acontecer é grande demais. Eu ficava a semana toda esperando por novos episódios e agora fico pensando o quanto deve ser bom assistir Duel tudo de uma vez. Assistir Legendado Tem Duel legendado no Kingdom Fansubs e no Dramafever. E vocês que já viram? O que acharam? Beijos, Mari. Duel is a suspense drama about a police detective Jung Jae Young whose daughter is kidnapped by a murderous human clone Yang Se Jong. But when he meets a man who looks just like the kidnapper, he finds there’s a bigger mystery going on then he would have ever expected. Duel was such a fantastic ride! Clones are pretty unique territory in Dramaland, and I was curious how the story would be handled. Luckily, it was handled wonderfully and gave me a story full of intensity, action, mystery, and heart. Jung Jae Young plays Detective Jang Deuk Cheon. And he’s one intense guy! He has a very sweet and nurturing relationship with his daughter, Soo Yeon. When she gets kidnapped, he is willing to do anything to get her back. He appears to be constantly on edge, and I easily felt his frantic energy as he worked to find her. Excellent performance! Yang Se Jong was fantastic in dual roles as the good amnesiac Sung Joon and the villainous kidnapper Sung Hoon. As Sung Joon, he was so endearing with such an innocent quality. I felt so bad for him! When he’s accused of kidnapping Soo Yeon, he’s left confused and afraid as he has no memories from before a few days ago. He doesn’t want to believe he could have done bad things, and he really wants to help Deuk Cheon find Soo Yeon. I also think poor Sung Joon gets beat up more than any drama character I’ve ever seen! He’s seriously a punching bag for almost everyone he comes across. I already felt bad for him, then to watch him constantly take such beatings was heartbreaking. Kudos to Yang Se Jong for really getting into character and going through so much. Then as Sung Hoon, Yang Se Jong nails the villain role. Sung Hoon has that creepy smile, he’s confident, and he’s a force to be reckoned with. He shows no mercy for those who get in the way of achieving his goal. Because he’s a villain who doesn’t really show remorse, it’s difficult to sympathize with him for a long time. But the more we learn, the more tragic his story becomes. Slowly, we begin to understand what made him into the man he is, and I couldn’t help but feel sorrow for him. And I fully believed that Sung Joon and Sung Hoon were two separate people. They looked exactly the same, but their personalities and mannerisms were completely different. I’m still thoroughly impressed by Yang Se Jong for being so convincing as each guy. Even more impressive is that there are scenes where Sung Joon impersonated Sung Hoon and I could always tell it was actually Sung Joon. That’s pretty crazy for my mind to wrap around. This was my first time seeing him, and he made me an instant fan. Ryu Mi Rae Seo Eun Soo is a reporter. While looking for information about her mother, she finds herself right in the middle of the mystery Deuk Cheon and Sung Joon are involved in. And then there is Prosecutor Choi Jo Hye Kim Jung Eun who is running the mission to locate Soo Yeon, but her fierce personality tends to put her at odds with Deuk Cheon. I ended up thoroughly enjoying Duel. It was thrilling, had a fantastic story, and even had heart to tie it all together. There’s an intriguing mystery in place as we go on a journey to learn why Soo Yeon has been kidnapped as well as what Sung Joon’s connection to her and the kidnapper are. We get dropped right into the middle of the action at the beginning of the series, and the intensity continues throughout the drama. Something I particularly love in dramas is when the heroes end up on the run. Even better when the duo has to reluctantly work together. And that’s exactly what this drama does with Sung Joon and Deuk Cheon. With Sung Joon being framed for kidnapping Soo Yeon and Deuk Cheon needing Sung Joon to find her, they end up on the run from the cops as they search for answers. First, it’s very intense as there are plenty of close encounters with cops as well as bad guys. I also enjoy getting to see the two guys slowly bond in the midst of their difficult circumstances. And watching the relationship slowly develop between Sung Joon and Deuk Cheon was very nice throughout the series. There is also a well-developed mystery surrounding the clones, their purpose, and their connection to Deuk Cheon. The drama was plotted wonderfully as it carefully revealed pieces of the puzzle while maintaining a good pace and intensity to keep me engaged. The story of Sung Joon and Sung Hoon is quite tragic. Learning their back story and how they are connected was very emotional. It brings up questions as to what makes us human and shows the terrible things humans will do to survive. Their relationship was an interesting one that delivered so much emotion. There are a couple minor negatives that you should be aware of about the drama. There’s a decent amount of shoddy police work and poor decision making throughout. There’s also several times where the plot devices were of the far too convenient side. They are the kind of things where you roll your eyes and go “Come on! There’s no way that could happen!” or “Are you kidding? Why is he doing such a stupid thing when any sane person would know better?” These sorts of situations only really stand out a few times, but you should be aware they are there. I personally think that the story and everything else was so good that these things didn’t bother me much. Again, roll your eyes and move on. There are also a few unanswered questions as well as some plot holes here and there. But these issues felt minor considering such a well developed mystery and story was in place that for the most part was executed very well. So overall, I found Duel to be a thrilling and emotional ride. I really enjoyed the characters and the intense journeys they went on. The clone element was handled well and certainly added a freshness to the story. And finally, Duel is exactly how I like my crime thrillers with action, mystery, and heart. It was a truly wonderful combination. My Rating Click here for more Kdrama Reviews. Sign Up to receive email updates of kdrama reviews, casting news, trailers, and more.

Completados wavy386 pessoas acharam esta resenha útil História Acting/Cast 10 Musical Voltar a ver 10 I had to take a couple of days to process my thoughts before writing this review. I have never been so affected by a drama before in my life, and honestly I don't know if my longing for this drama is something I'd ever care to repeat. I started this hoping for action and serious topics. I wanted plot and not romantic shenanigans. The drama starts off being pretty much all about a cop looking for his kidnapped daughter. This guy, however, is far from likable, and I found it difficult to sympathize with him in his plight. Why? Because he was, to put it simply, crazy, violent, and screaming. Lots of screaming. Lots of swearing. Lots of beating up suspects without evidence, heavy police brutality. This dude cared for nothing and no one but his daughter and wouldn't hesitate to brutally assault anyone he perceived to be in his way. That's where Clone 1, Sung Joon, comes in. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything. He has no memory of who he is, but Chief Jang decides poor Sung Joon is the key to finding his daughter. When these two meet, this is when the story really kicks off. I hated the detective for the first 2 episodes, but he does become more tolerable thanks to Sung Joon, who is kind and warm and patient where Chief Jang is crass, rude, and prone to fits of random rage. So for the first part of the drama, I watched because I was invested in the development between Jang and Sung Joon. I thought they were a great pair and really balanced each other nicely, and I'm a sucker for any kind of non-romance relationship focus. Chief Jang treated Sung Joon like a tool at first and didn't see him as a human being at all, and I wanted to see that change. There was some mystery and plenty of action for the first 6 episodes, but then it slows down and becomes mostly just drama and mystery with action sprinkled in. Eventually, the plot moves away from the father-daughter focus and we realize that ultimately this is a story about two clones. It's a sad story. Don't watch this if you don't want a ride on the rollercoaster of emotions. One clone is "evil," selfish and out for revenge and the other is kind, selfless and willing to put his life on the line to help near-strangers. But the characters are not simple, and evil clone is not actually just an "evil clone," but is a deep, complex character that will remain in my mind pretty much forever. What is the story really about? It's about clones learning to be human. It's about a father and his daughter. There's also an evil dude who wants to cure his illness and there's his evil spawn who aren't really worth mentioning but the story isn't really about them. No romance, just friendships and family relationships. Yay! Without Yang Se Jong, this drama would be nothing. His portrayal of three characters is something you really have to see for yourself. But let's say I had to keep reminding myself that it was the same actor. He brought the clones to life in a way that made me feel like I personally knew them. The other actors are good too. And JJY is so much more tolerable when he's not screaming his head off. It's not a perfect story, and there are aspects I wish had been different more interactions between the clones, more father-son bonding with Jang and Sung Joon, less of the secondary cop characters, but these factors don't change my love for this drama. I can't stop thinking about it and have already rewatched most of it 2-3 times. Leia Mais Esta resenha foi útil para você? There is somewhat of a spoiler in this review for both dramas. The only similarity is the twin aspect. I find the twins in both Arthdal Chronicles and Duel to be similar. In Duel Sunghoon and Sungjoon are mere clones however, the two are very different. Saya in AC reminds me of Sunghoon so much. The two are both very stylish and the more well-kept compared to their twin-counterparts. Both of them are very eerie and are super smart. Both Sunghoon and Saya are evil but as a fan you'll find it very very hard to hate the both of them. Both twins are lonely and were mistreated as children. Now we get to Sungjoon, he reminds me of AC's Eunseom aka Saya's twin because they both have a sense of doing what's best instead of their twin-counterparts. These two aren't entirely similar as Eunseom at the beginning and sometimes near the end is very naive this is due to how he grew up. Sungjoon too is naive but this is due to his memory not being fully there. Other than this you still find yourself routing for this twin as well.
