| Starts with some thrilling combat scenes and giving the impression it might be heading towards a critique of the endless war waged in Afghanistan. But, no, this is just more jingoism bordering on superhero fiction. Hats off to Dar Salim though, who expresses more in silence than most of his co-stars manage with dialogue. |
| Despite being a glorified and predictable advert for WWE, this film has a lot of heart. And the cast, particularly Florence Pugh, are excellent at portraying this (surprisingly) real-life family. |
| An interesting, if overlong, exploration of outdoor advertising's monopoly of urban perspectives and how it forces itself onto our eyeballs whether we want it or not. Their comparison with the perception both authorities and the public have of street art was eye-opening. |
| A very forgettable Tintin-like investigation story that's enjoyable enough while it lasts. |
| Solid conspiracy thriller set in a fictional French-speaking country filled with modernist architecture. Clinical yet beautiful. It all works really well despite the obvious destination. |
| It's starting to get repetitive, but still entertains in that relentless, brainless, John Wick style. You know, going in, it's going to be style over substance, and the style is even more bombastic this time round. I was in awe at some of the sets and lighting. Extra thumbs up for Scott Adkins. I hadn't even recognised him beneath the makeup. |
| I discovered this via Tangerine Dream's discography. It's surprisingly good compared to many teen films of the eighties, with a darker side than most. The ending is a bit of a U-turn compared to everything that leads up to it. Despite that, it's entertaining and sharp. |
| Wow. Incredibly powerful and still relevant critique on gun control. The classic movie monster being replaced by the clean-shaven boy next door. |
| A charming cast in a film that I probably would have appreciated a lot more when I was younger, with less films watched. As it is, there were too many clichés for even the capable cast to outshine. Despite all that, it was entertaining enough. |
| Standard copaganda. Does the job if you need to put your brain on low-power mode. As generic as they come. |
