Movie reviews of Jeffrey Rex Bertelsen

A strong and charming performance by an underrated actor in an enjoyable gambling dramedy... Review

A smart social horror film about racial tension... Review

McDowell’s most ambitious feature film yet, but it isn’t his most accomplished film. Review

A great little film with a strong twisty script. Review

A heartwarming, effective, and memorable re-imagining... Review

Ineffective, clumsily structured, and, ultimately, not worth checking out. Review

The film excels both inside and out of the boxing ring; undoubtedly a masterpiece. Review

It’s definitely not a perfect film, or one of the great films of the genre, but Life is exactly what I wanted it to be. Review

A clumsy and unconvincing attempt at introducing one of the most powerful characters in the Netflix-Marvel series of shows. Review

While it does somewhat recapture the magical joy of the animated classic, I can’t help but feel that this version is really unnecessary. Review

May not be memorable for saying anything new or deep, the central performance does keep the film somewhat afloat. Review

It was missing something. Review

Nothing more than a fine and fun new monster movie... Review

A luscious and mesmerizing motion picture that is as impressive and intimate as it is important. Review

It isn’t unfunny, but the interesting premise is wasted on unsubtle sex jokes. Review

An amazing final chapter for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. It is an uncompromising, grounded, and emotionally satisfying film. Review

Paints the right picture of the X-Men series' leading man... Review

Feels like a roller-coaster ride with black comedy and thriller elements thrown in there, but that worked for me... Review

The only reason why I ended up finishing the film was because I actually enjoy the cast. Review

Just an okay, overlong (at times, over-the-top), and, sadly, underwhelming psychological thriller. Review

I was really impressed with Ryan Gosling here, but much more so with Emma Stone. Review

A modern documentary masterpiece that details the peak of the infotainment era, the rise of a role model, the loss of racial identity, and a star’s tragic and sinful fall from grace. Review

An exhilarating and energizing ending. Review

Propelled by great performances by Eckhart and Hanks, while Eastwood does a great job with the crash landing scenes. Review
