Movie 1: The Snowman (2017)

The Snowman (2017) is a chilling crime thriller based on the bestselling novel by Jo Nesbø. Directed by Tomas Alfredson, the film brings Scandinavian noir
to icy life in a story filled with mystery, tension, and bleak winter landscapes.
Detective Harry Hole, played by Michael Fassbender, investigates the disappearance of a woman whose pink scarf is found wrapped around a sinister looking
snowman. As more victims are discovered, it becomes clear that a serial killer is on the loose—one who strikes every year when the first snow falls. With
the help of a recruit, Katrine Bratt (Rebecca Ferguson), Hole must connect the dots before the next snowfall claims another life.
Bleakly atmospheric and hauntingly shot, The Snowman captures the psychological unease of Nordic crime fiction. The film’s chilling imagery and stark cinematography
underline the loneliness and danger of a hunt that turns increasingly personal.

Movie 2: Lethal Weapon (1987)

Lethal Weapon (1987) redefined the buddy-cop genre with its perfect blend of high-octane action, razor-sharp dialogue, and heartfelt character moments.
Directed by Richard Donner, it launched one of cinema’s most beloved action franchises and set the standard for mismatched partners everywhere.
The story follows seasoned LAPD detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), who’s counting down to retirement, and his new partner, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson),
a reckless cop on the edge after his wife’s death. When the two are assigned to investigate a mysterious death tied to a drug-smuggling ring, their clashing
personalities and methods create sparks—both comic and dramatic—as they uncover a deadly conspiracy that tests their limits.
With explosive action sequences, genuine emotion, and iconic chemistry between Gibson and Glover, Lethal Weapon balances humour and heartbreak with expert
precision. Its sharp writing and dynamic direction make it not only a thrilling watch but also one of the defining action films of the late 1980s.
