Nicolas Cage plays Ben Reilly, a jaded private investigator in Depression-era New York who believes he has put his Spider-Man abilities away after failing to protect Ruby. Crime spreads across the city, including the presence of crime kingpin Silvermane. Reilly obtains illicit photographs of the mayor, and the information triggers events that spiral out of control. The production is described as undeniably stylish, though it does not fully commit to a black-and-white aesthetic despite a color version being available. The provided material also includes notes on Netflix’s football documentary about Vinnie Jones and on Abbott Elementary’s fifth-season continuation, featuring courtship developments alongside concerns about publicly funded schools.
"He plays Ben Reilly, a jaded PI in Depression-era New York who, after failing to protect his former love Ruby, has put his Spidey skills away for good. Or so he thinks: the Big Apple is teeming with nefarious characters, not least crime kingpin Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson). When Reilly acquires illicit photographs of the mayor, events spiral out of control."
"It is undeniably stylish though it's disappointing that the show hasn't fully committed to its black-and-white aesthetic a colour version of the show is available, too. Prime Video, from Wednesday 27 May"
"When Vinnie Jones first came to prominence via his intimate examination of a young Paul Gascoigne in 1988 few could have guessed the path his life was to take. This final episode of Netflix's football stories examines the career of a player whose on-pitch talent was limited but whose horizons were wide. With Jones himself as our guide, the documentary follows the unpredictable trajectory of a man who managed to parlay his well-deserved hard nut image into a Hollywood career."
"As ever, gently personal stories intersect with subtle polemic as UK viewers finally get a chance to enjoy the second half of the fifth season of this charming, pointed comedy drama. Much of the action this time centres on the sweetly hesitant courtship between Gregory and Janine. But there is a growing sense that they might need to get on with it: there are bigger issues at hand as a new district regime looks to have threatening plans for many of the publicly funded schools in the area."
