Movie Details:

In Absolution (2024), a former assassin, John Mercer (played by a grizzled action star), is dragged back into the underworld when his estranged daughter is kidnapped by a vengeful crime syndicate. With time running out and his skills rusty, Mercer must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, brutal shootouts, and moral reckoning to save her. The film is a high-octane blend of Taken and John Wick, set against a rain-soaked urban hellscape where every ally has a price and every shadow hides a threat.

Director James Cullen Bressack crafts a relentless, adrenaline-fueled thriller that balances bone-crunching action with raw emotional stakes. The fight choreography is brutal yet precise, with Mercer dispatching foes using everything from silenced pistols to improvised weapons. Flashbacks reveal his dark past, tying into the present-day chaos as he confronts former associates—some offering help, others aiming to bury him.

The film’s climax unfolds in a neon-lit warehouse, where Mercer faces off against the syndicate’s sadistic leader (last actor: Steven Seagal in a rare villain role). The showdown is a visceral mix of martial arts and gunplay, ending with a haunting choice: redemption or damnation.

Movie Details:

Riff-Raff (1991) is a gritty, darkly comedic slice-of-life drama that plunges viewers into the harsh realities of London’s construction underclass. Directed by the legendary Ken Loach, the film follows Stevie, a young Scottish laborer (played by Robert Carlyle in a breakout role), as he navigates the exploitative world of temporary construction work. With a mix of humor and raw social commentary, the film exposes the brutal working conditions, dodgy employers, and the camaraderie among workers struggling to survive.

Shot in a semi-documentary style, Riff-Raff feels startlingly real—thanks to its improvised dialogue and non-professional actors plucked from real construction sites. The film balances bleakness with warmth, particularly in Stevie’s tender yet tumultuous relationship with Susan, a homeless singer. Loach’s unflinching lens captures the systemic neglect of the working poor, making it both a rallying cry and a deeply human story.

A hallmark of British social realism, Riff-Raff is funny, tragic, and unforgettable—a film that punches you in the gut while making you laugh at the absurdity of life on the margins.
