2 Best Movies to Watch by Evin Ahmad

Leya is a businesswoman and single mother in her 20s who is trying to get her struggling startup off the ground while working at a restaurant.

When she finds an investor who’s willing to help her realize her dreams, he requests that she first pays off her outstanding debts to her previous investors. For this, she borrows from her brother-in-law who is in a violent drug gang.

It’s such a stylish and fast-paced thriller, based on Jens Lapidus’s famous Stockholm Noir Trilogy, except the gender of the lead role is reversed.

Genre: Crime, Drama

Actor: Evin Ahmad, Olle Sarri

Why is Erin Carter, a British temp teacher in Barcelona, always on edge and stabbing people with random objects? Well, it seems that hiding in a Spanish-speaking country is the modus operandi for many a protagonist on the run (looking at you, The Chosen One), and yet they can't help but look suspicious in easily avoidable ways. But two episodes in, and it's barely clear what Erin is running away from, but luckily, she can shoot, stab, and throw a nasty open-palm slap. And if you're in the mood for bloody action, a standard dose of suspense and can ignore that this story feels as familiar as every other "badass person with a secret" show, it doesn't disappoint as much as it could. 

Genre: Action & Adventure, Crime

Actor: Charlotte Vega, Douglas Henshall, Evin Ahmad, Sean Teale, Susannah Fielding
