<p>‘<strong>The Postcard Killings,’ </strong>a crime <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/thriller">thriller</a></strong> starring <strong>Jeffrey Dean Morgan</strong>, is currently the <strong>number 1 <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movie</a> on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a> in the US</strong>, according to the specialized website FlixPatrol. The film has been climbing the charts during the week. In just two days, the movie skyrocketed from the eighth spot to clinch the top position. </p>



<p>The film premiered back in 2020 to mostly negative reviews and lukewarm box office grossings, but that hasn’t stopped audiences from connecting to it. Directed by Academy Award winner<strong> Danis Tanovic</strong> (No Man’s Land), the film follows a detective investigating a serial killer. </p>

<p><strong>Cush Jumbo</strong>, known for The Good Wife, plays journalist Dessie Lombard, while <strong>Famke Janssen (</strong>X-Men) portrays Kanon’s wife, Valerie. The rest of the cast of the <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/films">film</a></strong> includes: <strong>Joachim Król, </strong>Steven Mackintosh, Naomi Battrick, Ruairi O’Connor, Denis O’Hare, Eva Röse, Lukas Loughran and more.</p>



<h2>Is ‘The Postcard Killings’ based on a true story?</h2>



<p>The film follows Detective Kanon, who has to investigate a series of murders in Europe. They are all connected t<strong>rough postcards sent to local journalists before the crimes are committed</strong>. To try to find the person or group responsible for the crimes, Kanon teams up with journalist Lombard.</p>



<p>As there are many crime thrillers based on true stories or true serial killers, there are many people wondering if there’s any truth behind the film. However, that’s not the case. The movie was based on <strong>Liza Marklund and James Patterson’s novel</strong> of the same name. Andrew Stern and Ellen Furman adapted the script. </p>

<p>However, per Screen Rant, there was a serial killer known as “The Postcard Killer” and his name was<strong> J. Frank Hickey</strong>. But neither author said that they took inspiration from the real life story.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240123#SPEN#2750"></div>


<p>Patterson and Marklund’s novel interested Hollywood since its publication back in 2010. However, the film was stuck in development hell. Some of the names that were attached included <strong>Patrick Dempsey</strong> to play Jacob Kanon, director <strong>Paul Greengrass</strong> and <strong>Dakota Fanning.</strong></p>

<p>According to the metrics-specialized site Flix Patrol, the production has quickly become a trend, so it’s expected to continue climbing the charts as the hours pass and the number of views increases.</p>



<p>Like any good crime thriller, suspense and chaos are essential. This time, the story follows the investigation of a series of serial murders involving postcards sent to journalists with graphic details of the crimes.</p>



<p><strong>Jeffrey Dean Morgan</strong> (The Walking Dead) portrays the main character, Detective Jacob Kanon, while <strong>Cush Jumbo</strong> (The Good Wife) plays journalist Dessie Lombard, and <strong>Famke Janssen</strong> (X-Men) portrays Kanon’s wife, Valerie.</p>



<h2>What is The Postcard Killings about?</h2>



<p>The story follows Detective Jacob Kanon as he investigates a series of brutal murders throughout Europe. The murders are connected by postcards that are sent to local journalists before the crimes are committed.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240126#SPEN#3198"></div>


<p>For this reason, Kanon decides to partner with journalist Dessie Lombard to trace the killers and uncover their motivation. However, not everything is as easy as it seems, and chaos quickly takes control.</p>



<h2>What did the critics say about The Postcard Killings?</h2>



<p>The critical reception of <strong>The Postcard Killings</strong> was mostly negative, as it received criticism for its predictable plot and for not fully realizing the potential of the source material. However, not everything was entirely negative, and some had their praises.</p>



<p><strong>Dennis Harvey </strong>of <strong>Variety</strong> was one who quickly wrote a review in March 2020, stating, <em>“While Tanovic somewhat gratuitously stops short of showing the gruesome results of these serial murders, the actual violence occurs off-screen, and given the nature of its story, the film seems strangely uninterested in emphasizing action, fear, or excitement</em>“.</p>



<p><strong>Red Reed</strong> of <strong>Observer</strong> described the film as <em>“tasteless in almost every respect”,</em> calling the thriller a <em>“puzzle of many twisted parts played by a large and poorly directed cast</em>“.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p><strong>Frank Scheck</strong> of <strong>The Hollywood Reporter</strong> joined his professional colleagues and wrote, <em>“Unfortunately, none of the storylines proves convincing, despite the lurid nature of the crimes, various surprising and vulgar plot twists, and Jacob’s struggle to deal with his profound grief even as he tries to act professionally</em>“.</p>



<p>However, <strong>Noel Murray</strong> of the <strong>Los Angeles Times </strong>was a bit more forgiving, stating, <em>“Oscar-winning director ‘No Man’s Land,’ Danis Tanović, gives an artistic touch to the lurid cop story”,</em> but also noting that the mystery elements didn’t generate much mystery.</p>

<p>The title is intended to be the sequel to <strong>Concrete Utopia</strong>, a 2023 South Korean drama, and picks up the story of Seoul’s transformation after the earthquake into an apocalyptic wasteland, where the world as we know it has collapsed.</p>



<h2>Badland Hunters is Netflix’s second most-watched movie</h2>



<p><strong>Badland Hunters</strong> is the new post-apocalyptic <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/action">action</a> thriller that has been captivating <strong>Netflix </strong>users just hours after its release in the catalog. As estimated just a day ago, it has become one of the most-watched movies on the platform, ranking second worldwide, according to<em> Flix Patrol</em>, the metrics-specialized site.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240126_SPEN_3198_Ma-Dong-seok-1024x576_b49943da.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-3200" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/01/Ma-Dong-seok-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/01/Ma-Dong-seok-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/01/Ma-Dong-seok-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/01/Ma-Dong-seok-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/01/Ma-Dong-seok.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ma Dong-seok in Badland Hunters. (Source: IMDb)</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Ma Dong-seok</strong>, better known as <strong>Don Lee</strong>, is one of the three protagonists. The Marvel and <em>Train to Busan</em> actor portrays Nam-san, a ruthless wasteland hunter. During an interview with <em>Publimetro Mexico</em>, he confessed that his role was very different from his previous characters.</p>



<p>The South Korean star had to perform several action sequences during the scenes, wielding swords, machetes, pistols, and even rifles. He assured that he always tries to keep his fellow actors safe while performing such maneuvers.</p>



<p><em>“I try to maintain my stamina and prepare, so every time there’s an action scene, I can go straight into it. I think it’s almost the same for all actors. We look at the scripts, the director, and who we’re working with, but you know, in most of my projects, I also produce besides acting, which gives me more freedom”</em>, he confessed.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240125#SPEN#3038"></div>


<p>The story has become popular in record time, but it’s also due to the fact that many viewers who watched the first installment, <strong>Concrete Utopia</strong>, were eagerly awaiting its continuation. This time, the plot follows a hunter who springs into action to rescue a girl in the clutches of a deranged doctor.</p>



<p>The narrative is set after an earthquake turns Seoul into a lawless and inhospitable land, so the main trio has only two options: hunt or die. <strong>Lee Joon-young</strong>, <strong>No Jeong-ee</strong> and<strong> Jun Hee Lee</strong> are some of the figures who accompanied the 52-year-old actor.</p>



<h2>What critics said about Badland Hunters?</h2>



<p>As is always the case when an interesting title is released, critics don’t hesitate to publish their reviews on official portals. So far, the majority have been favorable towards the project and have given considerable praise, especially for how <strong>Badland Hunters</strong> was executed and the performances of the main actors.</p>



<p>One of the first to write about the dystopian thriller was<strong> Joshua Kristian McCoy </strong>from <strong>Game Rant</strong>, where he revealed, <em>“Badland Hunters starts to feel like a Mad Max knock-off from its first trailer, but it’s willing to go in a very different direction. Though the story won’t break new ground, the execution will elevate this fascinating action outing well worth a watch”</em>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>Additionally, the cinephile and licensed psychologist spoke about the plot and how refreshing it could be at times, departing from the norm in post-apocalyptic movies. He wrote:</p>



<p><em>“The movie suffers in the story department. It’s refreshingly strange, contained, and brief enough to stretch its barebones narrative without breaking it. At 107 minutes, the film doesn’t overstay its welcome. It doesn’t have enough to say to broach the social commentary of its supposed predecessor, but it’s compelling enough to stand on its own”</em>.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240125#SPEN#3020"></div>


<p>On the other hand, <strong>James Marsh </strong>from the <strong>South China Morning Post</strong> also commented on the K-movie, writing, “<em>Audiences who embraced the gratuitous bloodletting and mad professor experiments of Project Wolf Hunting should be sufficiently entertained, while Ma ensures his lovable lunkhead lands a few laughs in between skull-crushing blows”</em>.</p>

<p><strong>Mindcage </strong>has not only become the sixth most-watched movie on <strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a></strong> worldwide but is currently the most chosen serial killer <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/thriller">thriller</a> by users, according to the specialized site Flix Patrol.</p>



<p>Directed by <strong>Mauro Borrelli</strong>, the story is a new bloody proposal from the streaming platform that has kept viewers on the edge of their seats. It starred <strong>John Malkovich</strong>, <strong>Melissa Roxburgh</strong> and <strong>Martin Lawrence</strong>.</p>



<p>The actor from <em>Bad Boys II</em> has departed from his comedian role to portray Jake, one of the detectives leading a crucial investigation and must seek help from a notorious serial killer when a copycat strikes.</p>



<h2>Mindcage is the seventh most watched movie on Netflix</h2>



<p><strong>Mindcage</strong> is Netflix’s new murder-themed <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/films">movie</a> reminiscent of “<em>The Silence of the Lambs”</em> and has become the seventh most-watched cinematic production in the catalog for the week. Its popularity defies the initial negative reviews it received for the execution of the story, which dealt with inevitable comparisons to <strong>Anthony Hopkins</strong>‘ classic.</p>

<p>While many have commented that it feels like a shadow of the 5-time Oscar-winning film starring <strong>Jodie Foster</strong>, the movie has everything it takes to succeed on the platform, such as a constant sense of tension and intrigue, suspense, excitement, unexpected twists, hidden motivations and complex, multidimensional characters.</p>



<p>The story is quite different from the recent releases on the streaming giant, and this time, the plot follows Jake Doyle and his colleague Mary Kelly, who are called to solve an enigmatic case where the bodies of three women are found in the city, but the corpses have a peculiarity: they are adorned as if they were angel sculptures.</p>

<p>Convinced that this has happened before, Doyle turns to The Artist, a serial criminal whose modus operandi was the same. However, it’s not all too easy, as he has been incarcerated for five years and has been sentenced to capital punishment. Both detectives try to get his help to catch the mysterious imitator.</p>



<p>The criminal is portrayed by <strong>John Malkovich</strong>, who does an exceptional job embodying a killer negotiating and seeking a reduced sentence. In addition to the three main actors, the cast also includes other notable figures such as <strong>Jacob Grodnik</strong>, <strong>Aidan Turner</strong> and <strong>Jeremy Turner</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>“Point Blank,”</strong> a<a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/thriller"> <strong>crime thriller</strong></a><strong> </strong>starring Captain America’s star <strong>Anthony Mackie </strong>and <strong>Frank Grillo</strong>, is one of the most-watched movies on<a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix"> <strong>Netflix</strong></a> globally as of January 22, according to <strong>FlixPatrol. </strong>The film, which was originally released in 2019, has climbed to the sixth position of the <strong>Top 10 </strong>at the start of this week.</p>



<p>The film was directed by <strong>Joe Lynch</strong>, who is known for movies such as “Creepshow” (2021) or “Suitable Flesh” (2023). The story follows an ER nurse (Mackie), who is forced to spring a wounded murder suspect named Abe (Grillo) from the hospital when the man’s brother kidnaps his pregnant wife and wants to make a trade.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240124#SPEN#2885"></div>


<p>Apart from Mackie and Grillo, the film also stars <strong>Marcia Gay Harden</strong>, Teyonah Parris, Boris McGiver, and Markice Moore. The movie is a remake of the 2010 French film, <strong><em>“À bout portant</em></strong>,” directed by Fred Cavayé, who co-wrote the script with Guillaume Lemans.</p>



<h2>Point Blank is a homage to 80’s remakes</h2>



<p>In an interview with <strong><em>Decider,</em></strong> Grillo, who also produced the movie, explained that the idea came from the producing company that made the original film. The new script was written by <strong>Adam Simon</strong>, who is known for movies such as <strong>Man Down. </strong>He also appears in the film as an officer.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Grillo explained that in post-production, the team came up with the idea of making the film as an <em>“<strong>homage to those ’80s action thrillers</strong>. We nurtured this thing from an idea to the page. It was kind of like giving birth.”</em></p>

<p>However, while the film is being embraced by audiences, critics weren’t that enthusiasts of the movie. It received mixed reviews, with critics praising the action and humorous moments of the film, but stating that the characters were undeveloped. It holds a <strong>40% approval </strong>rating on Rotten Tomatoes.</p>



<p>Curiously, the movie isn’t the first remake of the French movie. There is a 2014 South Korean remake titled <strong>“The Target,”</strong> which starred Ryu Seung-ryong and Lee Jin-wook. Also in 2019, another remake, the Bangladeshi <strong>“Password”</strong> was released.</p>

<p>In another curiosity, this isn’t the first time that Mackie and Grillo worked together. The actors previously collaborated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where Mackie played Sam Wilson/Falcon and Grillo portrayed Brock Rumlow/Crossbones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added: “<em>You have to throw all those out, try not to listen to them, and go, ‘Okay, well, I have to have the courage to create our own version and my own understanding of the character.’”</em></p>



<h2>What are other adaptations of The Talented Mr. Ripley?</h2>



<p>Before the movie <strong>“The Talented Mr. Ripley”</strong> in 1999, the novel had been turned into the 1960 film <strong>“Purple Moon,”</strong> where Alain Delon played the character Tom. In 2009, BBC Radio 4 brought all five Ripley novels to life, featuring Ian Hart as Tom.</p>
