5.5/10. Original and bizarre, but also weird and rather boring. Visually the film has quite a TV feel to it, without any bright colours, it's got an arty feel to it, and even though there are five sub-genres tagged, Drama dominates 90% of the time. Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson both play their parts and the facial…

7/10. Tony Jaa like in the good old days! A simple, but enjoyable martial arts romp that doesn't fool around and serves fans choreographed and fierce fights, just the way we like them. The story is really basic, Tony's family is killed and he intends to take revenge while protecting a little girl, the daughter of one…

Some doors should remain closed, especially if they are red. My sixth encounter with Joko Anwar, I’d already given up on him, but at the urging of a friend I gave this earlier piece of him a chance. Yeah it's full of references, as the synopsis says. During the credits, the Mission: Impossible franchise immediately…

5.5/10. An average French action film, with the director returning after an almost ten-year hiatus, and it's obvious that he slept through the time, because the action really feels like a decade ago, especially in the fights, which lack toughness, intensity and effectiveness. The protagonist played by Roschdy Zem is…

5/10. Quite a disappointment for me. I was expecting a deranged lawyer committing murder and in the meantime diverting from a trial, and I got a sort of comedy gangster drama without trials and murders, something I didn't quite order. With a short running time of 30 minutes per episode, it thankfully goes by fairly…

The Useless Seven. The musical motif of Denzel’s US Marshal, akin to Goldsmith’s "Alien," was nice, but that’s where the list of positives ends. The exposition of the hired seven, during which Nic Pizzolatto only occasionally shoots from the hip, is rushed, and we don’t learn much about their motivations (by the way,…

When all-encompassing love watches over the battle between good and evil, Frank Booth won’t get to stab anymore. Laura Dern doesn’t yet look like a skeleton from the biology teacher's cabinet, Kyle MacLachlan is one shade less green than Data’s brother, the brute Hopper, overusing “that word,” is very unstable, and…

Everyone knows how to play, but true art lies in knowing when to stop. The original concept in the drying well of the genre brought occasional flashes of humor (dry quips from Hannibal Buress) and also led to a reflection on whether, considering the number of slow-motion shots and the doves at the wedding, Jeff Tomsic…

If boredom were an Olympic sport, Atom Egoyan could successfully represent Armenia or Canada, because the case of the West Memphis Three fails on investigative, judicial, and personal levels. The weak script doesn’t help much either, as it’s clueless except for the moments when documented facts are served. The casting…

Ari Aster gave something to this film that most horror films of the present day desperately lack. Atmosphere. Creeping dread, uncomfortable mystery, and something chillingly irrational, much like what was achieved in the recent film The Killing of a Sacred Deer. While the unhinged mom Toni Collette complements the…
