When you escape from your Marvel universe, you will find that [SPOILER] the APES take over Earth in the Planet of the Apes franchise films.

This is reportedly available on Netflix with the translated title, "The Invisible Guest." Comcast/Xfinity has had Netflix available to non-subscribers in its annual Watchathon, which should start March 31, 2019.
"Badla" (2019), an Indian remake in Hindi with English subtitles, is currently in American theaters that show Indian films.
Thanks for the deleted scene reference. It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9muG9BMa2-c
They should have used it.
The one-line description of the film properly omits a key plot point. Mads Mikkelsen is outstanding in how he deals with it. At one hour 38 minutes, the story is told efficiently, without unneeded padding.
It could use a wider release and bigger marketing budget. Its cinematography is worth seeing on a big screen.
The director of "In Order of Disappearance", which I have not seen, also directed this. Based on the trailer, I was expecting the typical film where Liam Neeson tries to figure out what the bad guys did, to pursue vigilante justice.
I was not expecting the dark comedy that was sprinkled in, which was something that the Coen brothers might have done. It reminded me of the Fargo FX cable TV series.
Nicholas Holmes, who portrays Ryan, the young son of the gangster Viking, steals every scene he is in. He has a lot of funny lines.
I agree with you completely. They could have had a season finale with Elizabeth and Philip arrested and another season as the FBI put the pieces together to pin one murder after another on them. This would have been highly satisfying, as the audience would be reminded as to how evil they were. They could have shown pressure, using the kids, to get one of the parents to confess. Would one or both kids provide evidence needed to convict them, knowingly or unknowingly? The show could have had a subplot about trading them for American spies being held in Russia, with heated internal arguments about whether they could let murderers go.
Jeff Goldblum was in this so that they could use clips of him in previews, to sell more tickets. People who liked the very first film probably went to theaters, thinking he would have a bigger role. Gotcha!
Per the granddaughter:
"Robinson's basis for turning my grandmother and Dots into lovers may be that they continued to live together after William's death. The reality of the matter was that there really were not a lot of options at that immediate point in time. There were kids to feed and bills to pay. Gram worked while Dots directed the four kids. After the kids were out of the house, the two women chose to share a household. They were best friends, so close as to be sisters.
For those assuming that a grandchild could or would not know anything about their grandmother’s sex life, I should explain that my knowledge of my grandmother is not as a child, but as an adult. Mine is not the viewpoint of a small child with a sweet old lady grandmother. We had a very close relationship. Gram’s three- or four-week visits several times a year gave us plenty of time to discuss all the woes of mankind. Silly societal taboos on sex and sexual preferences was a topic we covered thoroughly. Gram was very open-minded, and conversed clearly and freely. Gram was a firm believer that people should do whatever they damned well pleased; the only stipulation being maturity and consent. Gram and Dots not only lacked that connectivity which couples have, but would have had no reason to hide.
As to arguments that the relationship as imagined by Robinson's film could possibly be true: I do agree that nobody can ever say what somebody else lived. I can never swear that she and Olive never connected sexually, but I can say with 99.99 percent certainty that they did not. "
The Greatest American Hero airs on cable TV in the USA on the Heroes & Icons (H&I) channel, on Saturdays at 10am and 11am.
I opened an account today and set up a profile picture. It's disappointing that the avatar does not show up at all on discussion postings. That would make it easier to recognize users.
I opened an account at The Movie DataBase (TMDB) when IMDB shut down its message boards, but TMDB has very little posting activity. Too bad, as it is a very nice site otherwise.
The woman is clearly the ex-wife of the creepy cop-neighbor (played by Jesse Plemons.) We see her photographs in the shrine he built for her. This is the only time we see her in the film.
As in Marvel movies, while there is a scene during the credits, this is actually shown after 100% of the credits are done. I'm glad I waited for it. It was a good gag. The cop was still obsessed with her, and now she could be on her way to a one-night-stand.
