I found one on Crave that was pretty good - “Pu-239”. Older movie about a Russian nuclear plant worker who gets irradiated in an accident, received poor treatment at the hands of the management, so he steels some weapons grade plutonium and tries to sell it in Moscow to give a bit of money to his family before he ultimately croaks of radiation poisoning.
My description might make it sound like a dark comedy, but it has serious, super depressing tone.

Did you just ruin the ending? Or was that a for gone conclusion?

No. It’s all set up at the beginning. The interesting thing was this had a bunch of interesting elements of the Chernobyl series. The whole Perestroika theme.
Watched Terminator Dark Fate, and all I could think of at the end was why? What was the point of Cameron coming back only to just rehash the original with some T2 sprinkled in? 4 times they have tried to make a sequel to T2 and all 4 have totally missed the mark, it's time to give up and accept that the first 2 movies are a near perfect experience and just leave it alone

We watched 'Richard Jewell' last night, oddly the day before Kenny Rogers died...weird, but anyways it was a great movie.
I'm a sucker for Sam Rockwell most of the time anyways, but overall it was just a really great movie. Well made, all the acting was very good and the story really engages you.
Well done Mr. Eastwood. Again. I tip my hat to you sir.
I'd be interested in hearing other people's thoughts because I thought a lot of the actions the FBI undertook in the portrayal to be reprehensible and I was disappointed in there not being any indication of sanctions or consequences to the agents involved for going to ridiculous lengths to vilify and indict someone just because they didnt want to look foolish for being so clearly and obviously wrong and further, no compensation for Jewell for being the subject of a largely unsubstantiated witch-hunt perpetuated on little to no actual evidence.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

I watched it too and found it to be an interesting story. I was a teenager when the incident happened and remember that it was a black mark on the Olympics, but did not know anything about the story. Really interesting. Eastwood hasn't done a bad movie yet to my knowledge. Personally I'd give it a 3.5/5.
