Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

Even with intermittent sequences of action or bloodshed, the meandering plot makes the 83-minute runtime feel like more than two hours. Review

The speculative qualities of this epic sci-fi drama are worth seeing, particularly due to the early year in which it was theatrically adapted. Review

Far less amusing are the incredibly cheap costumes, the tragically unconvincing fight choreography and editing, the appalling acting, the pitiful special effects, and the cheap plastic props. Review

The story still works, with the bigger revelations and solutions packing a punch – especially with the ordinariness of the personas and their plight – though it’s a shame that it’s not original. Review

At least the acting is adequate, propelling the film just slightly above the likes of its embarrassingly low-budget brethren... Review

It’s as if multiple films are intermittently forced together without adequate time for sensible fluidity. Review

There’s action, suspense, death, destruction, globe-hopping, wig-donning, unlimited funds, and brief dashes of humor. Review

A mystery also unravels during the gangland scuffles, providing comedy and violence and suspense; yet it’s so overwrought that it practically seems routine. Review

A triumphant exercise in indissoluble friendships and the indomitable human spirit. Review

The characters are so badly designed that they’re both meaningless and unbelievable; whether they live or die or succeed or fail holds no significance. Review

The comedy can’t surface or find harmony when he’s onscreen. Review

Cape Fear is a masterpiece of protracted tension and ceaseless aggravation, culminating at the aptly titled and electrifyingly atmospheric Cape Fear River... Review

Still, by the conclusion, the combination of down-to-earth lovers, foolish ones, embarrassing ones, disheartening ones, and triumphant ones (and ones that could only exist in a movie) creates an endearing collection of touching sketches that are frequently sentimental yet thoroughly grand. Review

The pacing is brisk and a number of scenes of spectacular horror help to offset the problems. Review

Yet once again, regardless of the importance of the picture, the execution prevents it from being a project that will reach an appropriately wide audience. Review

There’s nothing even remotely pleasant or absorbing about this tumultuous yarn, and certainly nothing that Sandler’s uncommon persona can save; it’s an overlong, uninteresting, badly arranged, extremely disagreeable downfall that only gets worse as it goes along. Review

A nearly three-hour wait for a single moment of fantastic frenzy amounts to minimal entertainment. Review

For the most part, a gentle sweetness permeates the film, but it’s also such an average, uneventful, small, intimately-designed, down-to-earth, slice-of-life drama that very little of it is memorable. And the parting shots are a dreadful misstep. Review

It’s playful, lighthearted, and humorous, though it’s also peppered with heavier life lessons about generosity and tolerance and friendship. Review

Their commitment to austere sincerity is unquestionably commendable, even if the eye-opening realism doesn’t produce consistent entertainment value. Review

Despite the questionable structuring of Waves, the scenes of raw emotion are thoroughly moving; they’re so unforgettable that they tend to override earlier flaws. Review

Despite the continual laughs, there’s still a nagging sense of something going terribly wrong all of a sudden – and, indeed, not everything goes according to plan. Review

Peeking through the disturbing imagery, morbid hallucinations, and crumbling identities is an engaging character study and a fiendish mix of drama and psychological horror. Review

The conclusion is rife with jaw-dropping sets, lightsaber duels, emotional confrontations, and sentimental throwbacks to recognizable elements not only from the original trilogy but also from The Force Awakens, bringing to an end a remarkably vast collection of cinematic legends and lore, and an acclaimed legacy of sci-fi fantasy prominence.
