7th Canon finished 4/5

Okay:
The bad cop is the bad cop, right from the start.  Connor.  He has sex tapes of aspiring politicians which he wants to use to revenge the firing of his father.  The sex tapes involve teen-age boys. He kills three of the boys to secure the tapes and keep himself in the clear. Donley figures it out with the help of Ross.  Donley, as a boy, killed his abusive father in a fight before Donley headed off to college--this to protect Mom from abusive Dad.  Ross lost his son (abducted) and became an alcoholic.  Ross redeems himself by helping Donley and will get his cop job back. Donley encounters Connor twice--once at a salvage dump where dogs attack both of them. Later, Connor shows up at Donley's house for a second climactic confrontation. This time Connor dies.  One climax too many.  The corrupt politicians, at the end, are exposed. Ross adopts. Donely's doctor wife is pregnant with a little girl.  Happy all around

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Live and Let Die

 The Fleming book, flawed by 50's racism, moves along in plot and character.  Fleming is an excellent writer--great descriptive powers and pacing. The movie has no redeeming qualities.  All that's left from the book is the racism, and in the book you can feel Fleming's doubts about his racist scenes slipping in.  In the movie (made years later), the racism is incredible.  1972.  Those who say no progress has been made should watch this.  Impossible to imagine this film being made today.
