This baked-in layer of brains amid the brawn in Hit Man is credited to Linklater and Powell working together to punch up a screenplay together allowing fun to frolic next to intrigue. Recensie

Straight-line speed such as this can be impressive, but it’s the perilous swerves that kick up the real dust, multiply the risks, and amplify the bigger suspense. The Joy-to-Theron arc has a tangible level of myth and mystery and a high value of importance for a very worthwhile character, albeit it is limited here by having a telegraphed journey towards an inevitable destination.

They are setting yet another stage for an epic crowd pleaser. Among the trend of heavily predictable genre movies with low stakes, this one is going to ponderous and exciting places simultaneously, and it’s all the better for it. Recensie

The Fall Guy is an odd and ironic case in this day and age where an increase of the normally thin or absent stakes we bitch about might have become too high and too much. Recensie

This is a fairy tale with a swift kick of reality, and there’s a better-than-good chance Anne Hathaway knows all about this kind of personal and professional adversity. This role fit her perfectly and she has the stature to make this multi-layered quandary both alluring and convincing. Recensie

The Moon & Back can be a receptive salve type to open wounds for those who have lost parents and loved ones in their lives. Equally so, the soulful courage brimming from this movie to create something messy, yet personal and still glorious for others, fulfills such a need. Keep movies like this coming and go ahead and get them from the moon if you have to. Recensie

Because of this conundrum of slightly unnecessary happenstance, The Brink Of has its level of triteness and frustrations. In spite of that, you root for James and Lena as much as you admire and soak in their music. Recensie

Even though Deep Sky is an abrupt shorthand version (the running time could have been doubled with zero complaints) of a continuing story, it is exactly the type of presentation and ponderous point that will rightfully and fruitfully inspire the next generation of innovators and explorers.

While no one is going to shatter a racket on the ground in frustration for getting more melodrama to play with, there’s about three twists too many, even if you’re hanging for every one of them. Recensie

Even granting The Absence of Eden reflective patience to flesh out a multi-pronged saga, that final intersection of the two leads occurs too late, is insufficiently brief, and not impactful enough to satisfy or resolve the double narrative. Recensie

During the time when the knock down-drag-out spectacle finally shows up at its fever pitch peak for Civil War, the dispassionate stances and reactions consume it all. You will exhale air of resigned consolation more than inhale breaths of moving eminence. Recensie

Much like the reactive public of Littlehampton, viewers of Wicked Little Letters may find themselves having to choose a side between Colman or Buckley. There’s no need for that whatsoever. The movie wins with either one of them. Recensie

Because Monkey Man exudes those three qualities of dedicated power sought by Patel, the result is a hungry dark horse movie never satisfied by anything basic. Recensie

Plenty can't and won't stomach this type of sentimental movie, leaving it for the dreamers and romantics out there more than ready to drop a needle and be swept away. Recensie

All of those recognizable ensemble members, as well as plenty of the lesser-known folks under them, should have been able to contribute thicker substance. Recensie

Steve Buscemi and Alessandro Camon understand that life is haunted and twisted enough not to require those exploitative tropes. The Listener exemplifies their restraint to tell something contemplative, powerful, and not preposterous. Recensie

While it may not overtake the likes of The Goonies or Stand By Me in the pantheon of big screen rascals, Weston Razooli has found the right infectious ambition to grab our attention and join the cult following. Recensie

Drew and Free Time ultimately unravel because he doesn’t have a leg to stand on, so the script from short film director-writer-editor Ryan Martin Brown has to manufacture a few for sympathy’s sake. Recensie

When done right, as One Life is, these positive historical movies are not vaunted “savior” movie narratives. Instead, they are evidence for and inspirations of hope that always exist. That’s a story worth telling every time. Recensie
