Hitman (2007)
Too Bad
This is the type of thriller that I love normally. But when the secret contract assassin walks around with a bar code tattooed to his shaved head, you lose me. Worse, that had nothing to do with the plot.. Too bad. It ruined the movie for me.
The Men Who Built America: Frontiersmen (2018)
Very Interesting With a Minor Flaw
I found this series to be informative and balanced, explaining both the perspectives of the natives and the westward-pushing Americans. Along the way, tidbits of knowledge filled in gaps of my own. For example. I never knew that Sacagawea had been stolen as a child and was reunited with her brother while guiding Lewis and Clark - a fact that saved the expedition. The series abounds with these factoids.
I have one complaint, though. Couldn't the producers have found a flat part of New Zealand to film some of the scenes in? I cringe when I see scenes supposedly of lower Michigan, northwest Ohio or central Indiana, filmed in a mountainous area. Those locales might pass for Wyoming or North Carolina, but not the flat flat flat Midwest.
Nonetheless, the series is entertaining and I recommend it.
