The Tutor

“The Tutor” is a 2023 thriller starring Noah Schnapp (Stranger Things), Victoria Justice (Victorious), and Garrett Hedlund (Four Brothers).

A professional tutor (Hedlund) takes on a mysterious wealthy new student (Schnapp), whose parents are paying him 1500 dollars a day to tutor. Seems like easy money, but soon the new student forms an unhealthy obsession with his tutor.

It’s a little of a slow burn at first. Nothing exciting or major happens and you think to yourself is this it? However, about halfway in things start to get dark, and it takes off fast. Noah Schnapp pretty much plays the same character as his character Will in “Stranger Things”, but maybe just a little more unhinged. Will isn’t exactly emotionally stable in “Stranger Things” either though. Both Hedlund and Schnapp play their characters well, although Hedlund is a little bit better. Overall, it’s a good watch. I wish it was a little faster paced in the beginning but still worth the watch as it engages and draws you in the second half. I give it a 7/10.

Triple Frontier

‘Triple Frontier’ is a 2019 Netflix original. I say it every time, Netflix always kills it with their original movies, unlike most of the other movies they stream. ‘Triple Frontier’ isn’t any different. ‘Triple Frontier’ is about a group of special force operatives who are brought back together by one of their members, when he decides to take down a drug king pin and keep his 250 million hiding in his jungle fortress. Problem is, it’s easy taking the 250 million, but it’s much harder making it out of the jungle with it.

‘Triple Frontier’ has a good cast starring Ben Afflek (The Way Back), Oscar Issac (Ex Machina), Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Garrett Hedlund (Dirt Music), Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian), and Adria Arjona (6 Underground).

I love seeing Ben Afflek getting back into more roles. He’s a great actor, and his movies are normally always good. ‘Triple Frontier’ is a non stop adrenaline rush from start to finish. When you don’t think anything else can go wrong, it does. ‘Triple Frontier’ is a must watch, I give it a 8/10.
