These two Netflix Originals just don't make it to the wonkameter.
'A Perfect Day' Nice international cast that is wasted on a meaningless script with little to no direction. Tim Robbins buffooned his way through this dark comedy of aid workers trying to pull a dead body out of a drinking well in Bosnia despite silly UN protocols. Del Toro was good despite the script. You wonder why you are still watching after twenty minutes.
'The Cloverfield Paradox' Again, a nice international cast trying to create drama on a space station using collider physics to create more energy for a crumbling world. "Shepard" keeps failing but then fires beautifully before exploding and causing an alternate parallel and time warp. This is all explained poorly and seems to uncover writers scrambling to churn out something suitable. The cheap shot ending will make you mad.
