It tries to be camp but lacks the playfulness. It attempts social commentary but feels patronising. There's something in there but it never emerges from the general feeling of clumsiness. |
Villeneuve finding his footing but the puzzle pieces are in place. Enjoyable slow burner with great leads. |
Somewhere between schlocky slasher, murder mystery and vigilante film. Not Bronson's best. Surprising amount of (male) nudity. |
Watchable but unnecessary remake of the superior 1974 version. The original has much better buildup and characters. This one seems to count on hyperkinetic editing and overacting instead. |
Spaghetti war movie meets blaxploitation with a plot that's just an excuse to watch nazis get wiped out by any means possible, including by a slingshot. Ridiculous but fun. I can see why Tarantino was inspired. |
Beautifully filmed but this is no Tales from the Crypt. The wraparound story fares better than the actual content. |
One of the most solid pieces of television I've seen in a long time. The photography, the acting, the scale of the whole thing. Fantastic. |
Pretty standard serial killer drama. Maybe if it was the first one I'd ever seen it would get an extra star. |
Derivative to an absurd level. Like a film made by an AI after watching the complete works of Guy Ritchie and a travel documentary about the west coast of Ireland. |
Basically a western in a blaxploitation suit, like many before it. Enjoyable nonetheless and fun to watch for the fashion and decor. |
