While offering flashbacks to a past mission involving a scientist in which Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) goes missing, “Spy Game” features those after Honey and Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) catching up to them at their safe house (which it turns out wasn’t all that safe). The sequence provides the bulk of the episode’s action with Honey taking out the attackers by a variety of means. Despite being injured, Honey makes it out with her daughter with the assassins still after them and Bunny (Varun Dhawan) and Chacko (Shivankit Singh Parihar) still too far behind to help.

But, why? Fans of 2000 film will remember that both the primary protagonist and antagonist die in Gladiator. Usually everyone being dead is a pretty good reason not to have a sequel. Not only that, but Maximus Decimus Meridius’ entire quest to avenge the death of his family and remove control of Rome from the hands of a corrupt emperor succeeds in every way imaginable. The self-contained story is complete. So why, more than two decades later, are we getting a sequel?

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft – Yinyang

Well that was anticlimactic. After being bested by Charles Devereaux (Richard Armitage) at every turn, Lara Croft (Hayley Atwell) faces off against the man who has acquired all the stones and (literally) become a monster… and she just beats him rather easily abruptly ending the threat and story in a single episode set within a secret bunker belonging to The Light. Aside from the victory, which Camilla Roth (Zoe Boyle) helps on, the episode is also notable for Lara finding some inner peace (Shifu would be proud) in a short coma at the beginning of the episode. With the threat neutralized, the series moves forward to its final episode of the season acting as both an epilogue and, no doubt, setting up for the show’s next season which may actually see Lara use guns.

Citadel: Honey Bunny – Talwar

  • Title: Citadel: Honey Bunny – Talwar
  • IMDb: link

The second episode of Citadel: Honey Bunny overs three threads. We get Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) finding her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar), which turns out to take less time than expected (and provide more context to the rules Honey has set up with her daughter in case of such emergencies), and relocating to a safe house with more pursuers on her trail. We see Bunny (Varun Dhawan) reconnect with his old friend Chacko (Shivankit Singh Parihar) and make a run on one of the enemy’s bases coming up empty on the attack. And, in the past, we see Honey begin her training as a spy against the reservations of the misogynistic Guru (Kay Kay Menon) despite her obvious talent for the work and her relationship with Bunny turning romantic.

Red One

When Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped days before Christmas, the head of his security (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) will team up with a snarky bounty hunter (Chris Evans), whose actions led the kidnappers to the North Pole, in order to find Santa and save the holiday. Geared mostly towards preteens and teens, Red One is exactly what you would expect for a family Christmas action film with a big budget to blow on stars and special effects and far less time spent on plot.
