Movie reviews of Eric Hillis

Inside Llewyn Davis resembles nothing else in the Coens' ouevre and is their best film by a country mile, containing an emotional maturity to match their undoubted technical ability. Review

An enjoyable but messy three hour romp featuring what will likely become DiCaprio's signature performance, and a return to form for a director who has struggled to find a footing in recent decades. Review

It's essentially Rosemary's Baby with shaky-cam, a concept handled far more effectively in last year's Delivery, but it also feels a lot like Chronicle in parts, with cameras launched into the air by malevolent forces. But like most found-footage movies, it mostly resembles a bad PA cash-in. Review

Based on a true story, The Railway Man feels like a mashup of three completely different movies, only one of which is ultimately successful. Review

The script suffers from poor characterization and an over reliance on expository dialogue. Review

Ejiofor gives one of the best performances of recent years and it's a rare example of an invisible performance, one that allows the character to act as a cypher... Review

They don't come much blander than this and I'd suggest Vaughan find another agent but I suspect he's happy in his comfort zone. Review

What made Oren Peli's original 2007 film so effective was the suspense generated by keeping the audience a step ahead of the film's protagonists. That movie's big moments came while it's characters were sleeping, unaware of how much danger they were in. With PA:TMO we only see what the characters are seeing, rendering it suspense free. Review
