Fresh coverage of movies, television, cast and characters, endings, and the places where stories were filmed.
The premise of Facing El Chapo sounds almost too convenient for a thriller: two officers nearing the end of an ordinary shift stop a stolen car and unexpectedly find one of the most wanted men in the world inside. But the central event really happened. Facing El Chapo is based on the real January 8,…
Netflix’s Facing El Chapo does not need a fictional twist to make its ending tense. Viewers already know from history that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was captured in January 2016, but the movie shifts the suspense elsewhere: can Arturo Carmona and Hector Rosales keep him in custody long enough to survive? They can. Carmona and…
“Facing El Chapo” approaches one of Mexico’s most notorious criminal cases from an unusual angle. Rather than building another biography around Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, director Chava Cartas concentrates on two federal officers whose routine patrol becomes anything but routine after they encounter the fugitive cartel boss. Alfonso Herrera plays Carmona opposite Noe Hernandez as…
Netflix’s Swedish crime thriller Blood Sacrifice wraps up its central murder mystery in five episodes, but the ending does not necessarily close the door on Thomas and Alfred Berg.

Peter wants Alfred to become the final “sacrifice”…
“Never Stop Chasing” does not have filming locations in the conventional sense. There are no dressed streets pretending to be somewhere else and no soundstage standing in for Tornado Alley. Ken Cole’s documentary follows meteorologist Reed Timmer and Team Dominator into the places where violent storms are actually forming, sometimes with cameras rolling only a…
Never Stop Chasing is completely rooted in real events. It is a documentary rather than a fictional film, following meteorologist Reed Timmer and Team Dominator as they pursue violent tornadoes using the armored Dominator 3. Director Ken Cole combines recent storm footage with material spanning more than 20 years of Timmer’s career, including the deaths…

The episode then ends before she reveals which house won,…
For much of Silo Season 3, Orla Kent’s murder looked as though it would lead directly to the Harwood family and whatever was being hidden behind Construction. That suspicion was only partly right. Season 3 Episode 8 finally identifies Orla’s killer as her boyfriend, Mike Davidson. Mike had been stealing supplies, Orla discovered what he…
