Michael Cuesta
12 and Holding (2006)
Cipriano and...Cuesta (
L.I.E.
) show realism, tender regard, and the benefit of the doubt for their young characters, but little of the same to their childish parents.
Homeland: The Complete First Season (2011)
Imagine
The Manchurian Candidate
as a television series, and you have a pretty good idea of what you're in for with Showtime's paranoid thriller
Homeland
, adapted from the Israeli drama
Hatufim
(a.k.a.
Prisoners of War
)
Dexter: The Seventh Season (2006)
Kill the Messenger (2014)
Rather than a fiercely intelligent, live-wire exposé, the well-intentioned picture comes across as weak-tea drama that never fully justifies its docudramatic form.
American Assassin (2017)
Has a mindset trapped in the 1980s, when Chuck Norris ruled the roost of disposable shoot-em-ups. This repulsive macho fantasy seems expressly designed to appeal to the readers of
Soldier of Fortune
Magazine.
