| Classic-feeling thriller/heist film based on a true story from 1971 albeit more on the rumours of the time around said heist than the actual heist itself. An efficient and entertaining time-killer that does exactly what it's meant to. |
| A devastatingly beautiful yawnfest with sexual politics that have definitely not aged well. |
| Newman is absolutely excellent in this slow burn courtroom drama/character study. The film manages to avoid most of the Hollywood conventions of the genre and the photography, simultaneously bleak and gorgeous, really carries the story. |
| It's visually impressive, albeit a bit too uncanny valley for me. It's also a pile of clichés featuring cardboard vilains and uninspired dialogue. Then again, maybe the manga it's based on is too, I don't know. I certainly wasn't bored, but leading me to a finale that's just a setup for a sequel, that irritated me. |
| Fun little short with stop-motion beans. Simply that. |
| Disturbing and restrained in a very clinical fashion. The brutality is always just beneath the surface or, occasionally, off-screen. Oscar Isaac is brilliant as the tormented loner and Schrader, well, he still believes we're beyond redemption. |
| Better than it ought to be thanks to Maggie Q, Jackson and Keaton. But it definitely feels like a warmed up version of many films that came before it. Entertaining enough if you leave your brain at the reception. |
| A classic slasher movie that's good nasty entertainment. It's cheesy without being boring like many other 80s VHS slashers. The kills are original, the jabs at capitalism are fun and the camera angles are over the top, one shot even coming from behind the rotary dial of a phone. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell make appearances and I'm pretty sure I spotted the generic beer cans and packaging from Repo Man too. |
| From the little I'd read online, I was expecting something a tad more subversive. This is essentially a live-action Lego movie for 10-year-olds who're into Fortnite. Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer is wasted here. |
| Well-intentioned yet terribly naive and clumsy film. Loaded with every cliché about suburban youth you can think of, it feels more like a series of skits than a full-length story. It definitely made me smile at times but also had me groaning in equal measure. |
