Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Quick, intelligent, masterfully acted, unpredictable, and complete with a powerful, poetic conclusion, The Defiant Ones is truly a timeless classic. Recensie

There’s also an emptiness to the action; the characters are unsympathetic and uninteresting, largely due to generic dialogue, while the monster is uninspired and unstimulating. Recensie

The storytelling is exceptionally weak, though it’s obvious that the majority of the film exists solely to show off Clery’s perpetually nude figure. Recensie

A superbly-acted yet tragically small picture. Recensie

It’s not based around intellectual thrills, but it’s nevertheless effective as a schlocky bit of sci-fi/horror fun. Recensie

Worst of all, however, is the predictability of the whole ordeal; if there’s one thing a heist movie shouldn’t be, it’s predictable. Recensie

Details his career with enough care that viewers won’t have to depend solely on nostalgia to appreciate the history of this life-affirming character. Recensie

Unfortunately, despite the pervasive suspense and the uniqueness of the bloodshed, the script’s insistence on withholding clues prevents a deeper involvement with the plot. Recensie

It’s a fascinating, entirely unique look at a female psychopath. Recensie

A fusion of mythology, fairy tales (particularly Grimms’), history, and legends, wherein rationality is the root of all evil and make-believe reigns supreme. Recensie

The film resembles a bad episode of The X-Files or Star Trek. Recensie

It’s just a collection of action sequences involving reimagined versions of the most famous space opera’s enduring heroes. Recensie

While the laughs are steady, the music is expertly applied, the R-rating is still refreshing for this genre... Recensie

Significant conflicts are considerably transitory; this is certainly a frivolous little picture. Recensie

It’s fun, straightforward, and enjoyable. Its simplicity and predictability are its only downfalls... Recensie

One of those rare pictures aimed squarely at adults, but without the cheap thrills or melodrama that so often plagues such scripts. Recensie

At least the set designs are nice. Recensie

Has an awareness and intelligence beyond that of its typical sci-fi actioner peers. Recensie

A masterpiece of Western excitement, consistently invigorated by the momentous music, the strong performances, and the unyielding heroism. Recensie

At least the finale is a bigger, bloodier bash, though it concludes with astonishingly mild satisfaction. Recensie

Can’t help but to be weirdly, almost comically insincere. Recensie

Engrossing costume and set design, ample combat sequences, and a smattering of solid practical effects can’t overcome messy storytelling and atrocious conversations. Recensie

It’s quite the visual spectacle, layered with welcome comedic interludes, but it’s still, predictably, just one more piece of a larger picture. Recensie

While most will likely come for the promise of outlandish action, the discerning crowd will stay for Kang-ho’s performance. Recensie
