Filmrecensies van Alex Brannan

Still indicative of Amirpour’s keen eye and unique form of genre hybridity but lacking the focus and power of her first work. Recensie

The comedy is crass and brash to no payoff, the characters fade in and out as necessary with little depth, and the story pushes on for 40 minutes too long... Recensie

The overall themes of the film do not play out as strongly as the isolated moments. Recensie

In spite of a great performance from Gurira the film is too messy from a narrative standpoint to truly encapsulate the essence of Tupac Shakur. Recensie

But the film takes its chances. When these chances work, they work. When they don’t, at least the screenwriters go all out. Recensie

Offends the intelligence of its viewers with blank characters and obvious scripting. Recensie

Occasional moments of situational humor work well, but these come off as exceptions more than anything else. Recensie

The major narrative throughline is a strong and heartfelt story. Unfortunately, it is brought down by the numerous things surrounding it. Recensie

Somewhat competent cinematically, incompetent narratively. Recensie

Leaves you both empty-handed and wanting more. Recensie

It’s no masterpiece, but its humor and competent narrative keep it from feeling like the haphazard messes that the two previous DC entries have been. Recensie

A furious implosion of the oppressed identity. Recensie

The narrative provides enough twists and turns to entertain a zombie enthusiast. Recensie

Has an ambitious narrative diversion from the normal marriage plots. But the execution of this narrative is sloppy at best. Recensie

As a straight drama about the plight of the soldier, it can only be seen in bright, effective glimpses. Recensie

The swashbuckling story remains a distinctly Pirates one, but it is over-loaded and heavy, dragging pacing down in the progress. Recensie

It just doesn’t hold water... Recensie

The few jump scares don’t make up for a general lack of suspense in the film. Recensie

Incoherence both visually and narratively denies the film from having any credibility. Recensie

An odd, detached sequel to the Alien franchise. Recensie

Overall, the writing is just too on the nose. Recensie

It may not rise to the level of getting under the skin as it intends to, but it tows the line between satire and the dread of an earnest thriller well. Recensie

Witty and humorous as it is, it suffers from its stylized pacing issues and uninspired use of source material. Recensie

By no means is it the worse, but it was the first film in the series to show cracks in the otherwise full-proof high concept mold. Recensie
