Movie reviews of Chris Agar

Spiderhead blends interesting concepts with strong performances from the cast to craft a fascinating, if thin, sci-fi thriller. Review

The end result isn't very compelling. Deep Water is a dull and bland thriller held back by a weak script that even Affleck and de Armas can't save. Review

The Adam Project is a charming and fun sci-fi throwback, fueled by a strong script and one of Reynolds' best performances. Review

KIMI is bolstered by Zoe Kravitz's central performance and Soderbergh's technical prowess to deliver a modern-age, fast-paced thriller. Review

Munich: The Edge of War is a well-made period piece able to stage necessary tension despite its real-life story being so well-known. Review

The Tragedy of Macbeth is a visually stunning and faithful Shakespearean adaptation fueled by captivating performances from its stars. Review

Last Night in Soho is a stylish and thrilling work from Wright, bolstered by an impressive lead performance from Thomasin McKenzie. Review

Space Jam: A New Legacy is a fun family movie bolstered by a good heart and strong visuals that make up for a lack in originality. Review

Locked Down is an average drama that relies on the strengths of its two lead actors to help elevate it above its various shortcomings. Review

The Midnight Sky is a well-made and ambitious piece of sci-fi filmmaking, but it lacks the proper emotional punch it needed to truly connect. Review

News of the World is a standard Western with a predictable story, though it's elevated by Hanks and Helena Zengel's performances. Review

Tenet is a fascinating and exciting sci-fi thriller bolstered by Nolan's grand vision for action and strong performances from the cast. Review

Mank is a wonderfully crafted and well-acted ode to a bygone era carried by Fincher's vision and Gary Oldman's standout performance. Review

Dreamland is a fairly straightforward crime saga that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is still enjoyable thanks to Robbie and its production values. Review

Synchronic is an interesting, if standard, drama that gets by on the strength of Anthony Mackie's performance and a strong third act... Review

The Trial of the Chicago 7 makes for an entertaining and compelling courtroom drama, bolstered by Sorkin's script and strong performances. Review

I'm Thinking of Ending Things is a suitably eerie and creepy psychological thriller that ultimately never comes together as a comprehensible whole. Review

An American Pickle is a fun, fleeting buddy comedy that stretches its humorous premise a bit too thin, minimizing the story's impact. Review

The Beach House has some suitably creepy moments, but it's ultimately hamstrung by an underdeveloped script that fails to connect with the audience. Review
