MAYDAY
The film
Lieutenant Troy Brennan’s reconnaissance mission over Soviet territory goes awry, forcing him to crash-land and survive in Russian wilderness while evading capture or rescue.
I liked this a lot. Cold War, Soviet Russia is the best setting, and has the feel of movies we don’t make anymore. Ryan Reynolds does a fine job minimizing what he’s known for, but Kenneth Branagh steals the show. On Apple TV.
