'Delightful and dangerous... The Debt Collector is an ideal vehicle for Scott Adkins, who combines raw physical power and everyman charm.' -Los Angeles Times
French (Scott Adkins, Marvel's Doctor Strange ) is running a martial arts gym, training promising new fighters but it hasn't exactly been paying the bills. To make ends meet, he begins working for the notorious but Big Tommy (Vladimir

Working by a number scale, with #10 being a threatening, to a #1 being a full-on trip to the hospital, French and his partner Sue (Louis Mandylor, 'Code of Honor' ) are in charge of chasing down any kind of criminal and low-life who owes money
to their organization.
Sliding through traffic from one job to another; beating, fighting, chasing and breaking bones, the job is always something new. But it's only when French has to track down an Irish bar-keep with a secret, that he encounters anyone worth saving and he
will have to question himself if he will do the right thing... for once.

Citizen K is a 2019 UK / USA documentary by Alex Gibney. Starring Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vladimir Putin and Leonid Nevzlin.
Summary Notes
Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney delivers one of his strongest explorations of global politics in considering the strange case of Mikhail Khodorkovsky . Once believed to be the wealthiest man in Russia, Mikhail
Khodorkovsky rocketed to prosperity and prominence in the 1990s, served a decade in prison, and became an unlikely leader of the anti-Putin movement. In tracking Mikhail Khodorkovsky 's story, Alex Gibney creates a compelling portrait of post-Soviet
Russia, a nation caught between radically divergent political models - and where fortunes can transform overnight. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of chaos and opportunity. With laws lagging behind socioeconomic change, Russia fomented a kind
of gangster capitalism. Mikhail Khodorkovsky took advantage of the privatization of state assets, created Russia's first commercial bank, and built Yukos, Russia's biggest oil company. His success in business was accompanied by a level of political
influence that would ...

The Satanic Rites of Dracula (BD/S/H)
A dying man's report of a ritual black mass stirs Britain's security chief into action, and a mansion filled with young vampire girls is soon discovered. And this is but the first twist in a labyrinth of horror. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee pair
up for the final Hammer Dracula in this follow-up to Dracula A.D. 1972. In this go-round, the Count (Christopher Lee, naturally) follows a more pulpish, super-villainous playbook, posing as a millionaire industrialist alive and well and living in London
while secretly brewing up a batch of super-plague in a quest to destroy the world. Mixing Satanists, spies and sci-fi, the film makes viewers glad that Peter Cushing is on hand to solidly anchor the more outré elements as the effortlessly expositioning
Dr. Van Helsing. Lee, in turn, has more dialogue as Dracula than was the norm, and rachets up the evil to the nth degree. Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) costars. Also known as Count Dracula and His Vampire Bride.

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey is a 2019 UK drama by Michael Engler. Starring Michelle Dockery, Maggie Smith and Tuppence Middleton.
Passed PG uncut by the BBFC for mild threat, language. In Ireland the film was originally rated 12A but this was reduced on appeal to PG for brief homophobic reference.
The Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO) revealed that the film was initially given a 12A rating due to several offensive references to the sexuality of a gay butler, Thomas Barrow. A subplot in which Barrow visits a gay club in York sees the bar
raided by police who are verbally abusive towards the gay men, describing them as 'perverts' and 'queers'.
In fact filmmakers had consulted a historical adviser who said that Barrow's experiences are an accurate depiction of gay life in interwar Britain. The plot was also praised by LGBT+ activists.
So the movie's distributor Universal were no doubt confident in appealing IFCO's decision, seeking a PG rating. The appeal was duly won and the film has now been re-rated to PG for brief homophobic reference.
The appeals board felt an audience familiar with its characters and setting would have been aware of the storyline about a gay character, so they changed the rating to a PG.
