#indiaeisley — Public Fediverse posts

#Iwatched the 2019 crime drama mini series with the pompous title "I am the Night". Mainly for #IndiaEisley (daughter of #OliviaHussey), but #ChrisPine is also a fine actor and neither did disappoint. Eisley plays a white passing black girl in 1965 and her #sociolect is impressive. Pine's role is a #FilmNoir staple that he manages to fill with life. But the script lets them both down when it tries to inflate her personal tragedy to an epic mystery murder tale, in which she gets little to do.

#Kite (2014)
After her cop father is killed, a young woman tracks the murderer down with the help of his ex-partner.

Based on the kind of story you'd expect this film to be cheesier than it is. Instead, India Eisley acts her character Sawa so realistically, it's as if a real-life young assassin with amnesia has stumbled upon the film set and is trying to make sense of the clues she finds, hell-bent on exacting revenge on things in her past she can't quite remember. Some other bits of the film may live up more to the original expectation.

I disagree with the blu-ray cover image's suggestion that she doesn't play the lead character. But big names and all that.
