Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

The combination of action, intermittent comic relief makes for a frivolous yet fun diversion. Review

The animation style suits the storyline, with the anime versions of familiar roles nicely adapted from their three-dimensional counterparts. Review

Thanks to a powerful, stirring score by Justin Hurwitz, these long-awaited, climactic sequences hold considerable weight. Review

This emotional account is woefully timely and perpetually relevant. Review

The scope is grand enough to hope for a full franchise, but the plot just isn’t unique enough to want to see more of Riddick’s missions. Review

It ultimately seems like a lot of nonsense. Review

Something unique yet not entirely satisfying. Review

It’s an uncommon mix of genuine action and slapstick comedy, complete with a fitting, allegorical message about greed and the human condition. Review

This is probably one of the cheapest, tawdriest of all late-night, last-rate exploitation efforts... Review

A notable effort... Review

Even when A Star is Born is at its most sentimental or manipulative, Gaga remains believable, and her crooning is utterly heartfelt. Review

A potent, powerful work, full of tough questions, tougher answers, and outstanding performances. Review

Tropes are avoided, substituted instead for a nuanced tale of unanticipated growth and senses of obligation dramatically fulfilled. Review

It devolves into a bullet-dodging, body-battering, glass-shattering, scenery-demolishing collection of brawls. Review

A macabre yet funny adventure, though one small enough in its ambitions as to become terribly unmemorable. Review

It’s as horrifying as it is hilarious, even managing to work in a Hitler comparison that, while not a perfect parallel, is a relevant likening worth scrutinizing. Review

It has a hell of a coda, following up a spine-tingling climax with a perversely poetic finale and parting shot. Review

The pacing, the action, and the humor generally offset the deficiencies in continuity and storytelling. Review

It’s routinely frustrating just how often Peppermint opts for anticipated confrontations and escapes rather than artistic deviations from stale cliches. Review

Despite a couple of very minor additions to the formula, the novelty of it all is almost entirely lost. Review

A classic tale of wrongful imprisonment, daring escape, and vigilantism as revenge... Review

It may not be the best of the pirate adventure films, but The Black Swan holds its own against the Errol Flynn pictures of the era. Review

The picture offers up engaging moral conundrums and perspectives on war, from sacrificing human life in pursuit of victory... Review

There are lulls here and there, but the finale hints at the cathartic fantasy of annihilative vengeance... Review
