Based on the book: “The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon” by David Grann

Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, Tom Holland, and Angus Macfadyen

Based on author David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller, THE LOST CITY OF Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages,” the determined Fawcett – supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide-de-camp (Robert Pattinson) – returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925. An epically scaled tale of courage and obsession, told in James Gray’s classic filmmaking style, THE LOST CITY OF Z is a stirring tribute to the exploratory spirit and those individuals driven to achieve greatness at any cost.

140 Minutes I PG-13

De Vet Du are unlike anything seen before in the Swedish entertainment industry. With a constant stream of content spanning the last five years and many viral videos breaking a million+ views, it's hard to believe that such a consistent level of success is not achieved due to the backing of a team of big-shot producers, but from a close-knit group of friends with a pure love of comedy.

Johan Gunterberg and Chris Martland are the creative driving forces behind De Vet Du's unique fusion of comedic concepts produced into club-pop ready-made for every party.

JG: "We usually have the concept first. We chat on Facebook."
CM: "Every song is written on Facebook chat."
JG: "People tell us, 'How do you write your songs?' We just say, 'We make our songs.' 'Write' sounds like we want to be poetic or something."

The other members include Tor Wallin, who neither sings nor composes, but simply brings positivity, a fun energy, and a willingness to engage in whatever antics the song or performance requires.

TW: "I'd say that my role is, nothing really. It's more like I run along with the whole thing and try to have fun, easing up the tension a little bit sometimes. We've known each other for a long time, we're friends, and just from the beginning it seemed natural to tag along."
JG: "He's like [the] guy from Westlife who didn't even sing but they didn't tell us. We tell them."

The final member is known as "DJ Hunk" - the group's DJ that maintains a non-speaking persona and always has his sunglasses on and his shirt off. When the group is asked about DJ Hunk, they maintain their usual set of non-answers that maintains the persona of the character.

JG: "I don't think he can talk. We've never heard it."

When asked to book a one-on-one interview with us during the ongoings of Melodifestivalen 2017 semi-final 1 in which De Vet Du are competing, Gunterberg is insistent that the group will make time for it. Upon meeting them for the first time, it's a round of hugs from everyone except for DJ Hunk, who maintains his 'cool' persona and aura of mystery by simply shaking hands instead. All the live-tweeting from our preparatory research, ranging from watching every video posted to their official YouTube channel, their TV4 documentary/reality series De Vet Du Livet (with the help of a Swedish colleague to translate enough to follow along), and even the agonising process of watching 'professional' Swedish interviews with zero preparatory research done by the reporters beforehand, has not gone unnoticed by the group. Even Wallin, who does not have an active Twitter account, admits to having lurked on the barely filtered feedback of De Vet Du's work and the Swedish media that does not understand it.

The name "De Vet Du" originates from a phrase in Swedish slang that can translate to mean "You know it" and is often used as a mildly aggressive rebuttal to questions.

JG: "We thought that was stupid so we wanted to call our group that, it's perfect."

SVT has allegedly been after De Vet Du to join the contest for a couple of years now but 2017 is the year that the group finally decided to participate.

JG: "If you do [Melodifestivalen] early in your career, you're just gonna be that. So I guess we waited to build our career so it wouldn't be defined by this, what we did here."

Despite having built an entirely unique form of entertainment content that and a strong business model that includes a wide variety of merchandise that they design themselves, there is often an awkward tension between De Vet Du and the Swedish media that are meant to report on them.

TW: "Most of them I don't think like their jobs."
CM: "Yeah, exactly."
JG: "Most of them don't understand comedy. Comedy's always been seen like that around the world. Comedy doesn't get the prizes and all that. They sort of take us as stupid and not serious."

With an impressive and highly ambitious staging for their performance that includes a prop car to be climbed in and out of and a meticulously organised and purposeful set of elaborate camera effects, it's indisputable that De Vet Du are taking their run in the contest seriously. Despite their insistence that they are making content from a place of fun, they are putting out a number with a concept that stays on brand and thus maintains their authenticity. There's fun, there's humour, and a whole lot of energy just waiting to burst onto the stage.

Matt is holding Stick back hostage his apartment and patches up his wounds. Stick laments that he didn't kill Elektra when he had the chance and says the Black Sky must be extinguished at all costs. Matt says he should be grateful that Elektra spared his life. He then goes to meet Elektra on the roof. She tells him to leave her alone, feeling confused and tormented by the revelation of her being the Black Sky. She was trained to kill it from the time she was a child but Matt believes that all of these legends are just mystical nonsense. Elektra is concerned that even if the Hand keeps her in a cage, they will be emboldened by having her in their grasps. She doesn't see a way out no matter which way she decides to go. Matt is ready to help her and Elektra is taken aback that he is still offering even after everything she is done. Matt says they should go after Nobu and that extracting him should stop the Hand. Elektra asks if he'll kill Nobu but Matt says that killing him would only make him a martyr to the Hand's cause so dethroning him is the best course of action. She agrees to work with Matt.

Foggy is recruited to work at Jeri Hogarth's film. Hogarth is a character viewers will know from the Jessica Jones series. Clearly this is more groundwork leading to the collaborative Defenders series. Matt brings Elektra to his suit designer, who measures her for her own suit. He also presents Matt with a billy club. It's a specially designed weapon for Matt to use and it even matches his suits. It has a multitude of functions and Elektra's first question at seeing it is where hers is. Matt's suit-designer says that there are some people in Hell's Kitchen, including himself, who know who's truly looking out for them.

Frank returns to his family home where there is a considerable amount of mail piled up. He reads a newspaper claiming he is dead and he appears resigned to embrace his role as the Punisher. He takes a can of spray paint and puts the signature white skull onto the front of his body armor.

Foggy calls Matt because members of the Hand had infiltrated the police department and roughed up officer Brett, who has helped Daredevil more than once, in search of information on Daredevil. They wanted to know about everyone Daredevil has ever saved. Using this information the Hand takes a number of people hostage, including Karen and the criminal Turk Barrett. Matt goes to Karen's apartment and finds she has been taken. Barrett is on house arrest and has an ankle monitor on. He had tampered with it to turn it off but Karen advises him to turn it back on so they can be found and rescued. Barrett turns his ankle bracelet back on after one of the other hostages is killed for acting up.

Police are able to track the violation and go to Barrett's location but are shot up with arrows, preventing them from entering. One is able to call in the attack before being killed and Matt is able to pick up the call and determine the location. He and Elektra go and scope out the building, trying to figure out the best course action. Matt is fixated on the twenty hostages but Elektra is focused on stopping Nobu. She warns him that these people are bait and that worse things will happen if they don't stop Nobu and the Hand from getting Elektra back.

The Hand attempt to saw Barrett's foot off after finding the ankle bracelet but Matt comes crashing in and attacks them before freeing the hostages. While Karen leads everyone out, Matt continues fighting the Hand and Elektra comes swooping in to help him. They fight off many henchmen and in quiet moment, Matt professes his love for Elektra and asks her to consider being with him. He's ready to go on the run with her and she says that she is the one things in the world that makes him feel more alive than New York, so he'd leave the city for her. The only thing they have to do is survive this final battle.

Matt and Elektra head out to the roof where a giant pack of henchmen are waiting for them. Nobu is there and tells Elektra she belongs to the Hand while Matt belongs in the ground. The Hand fight them off, aiming to kill Matt but merely disarm and overpower Elektra so she can be in their custody. The odds aren't great, considering the sheer number of men they have to fight off but they put up one hell of a fight. Matt and Elektra end up in a fight together against Nobu, who manages to get the upper hand on both of them. He prepares to kill Matt but Elektra stops him and gets in the middle, mortally stabbed in the process. Elektra says the Hand has nothing now, as she's taken it all away. In her dying moments, she tells Matt that she knows now what it means to be good. She asks if it always hurts this much and Matt says that it does. Elektra's final words to Matt are that it's not the end.

Matt begins to fight the remaining members of the Hand and with some assistance from Frank, who is shooting from a nearby rooftop, Matt is able to defeat everyone left and toss Nobu off the side of the roof. Karen observes Frank on the roof. Frank says, "See you around, Red," before disappearing into the night. Nobu still isn't dead from his rooftop fall but Stick emerges and kills him, even going so far as to behead him to ensure its permanence.

Matt and Stick visit Elektra's grave. Matt reminisces about the love they shared and reminds Stick that he wanted her dead, so it's a bit ironic that now he's mourning her too. Stick asks Matt if loving her was worth it and Matt believes it was. Matt rejects Stick's philosophy of severing oneself from emotional connections.

Foggy and Karen meet for a drink. He promises to still be her friend no matter where he is working and proceeds to pay off their long-standing tab. Karen heads back to her office where her editor advises her to write the truth, and tell people something they don't know. Matt asks Karen to meet with him and reveals his secret of being Daredevil.

Finally, the Hand exhume Elektra's body and place her in the ancient device that the victims from earlier in the season had sacrificed their bodies to.

Marvel's Daredevil is available for streaming on Netflix.
