Filmrecensies van Vincent Leo

As a suspense vehicle, there is more than enough to keep eyes riveted in how things will unravel for such a kooky cast of characters, all played with impeccable gusto by a terrific ensemble of actors. Recensie

The talented troupe of actors who remarkably put a human face and deeper emotional resonance to the reports that we often only just read about happening in the news. Recensie

It’s a mixed bag of mediocrity, too uninspired to make any waves, yet it is mostly harmless, with an appealing cast, and has some very good dance sequences to make it fun to watch in spots. Recensie

Candy is a much better comedian and actor than this film would suggest, though it continues to showcase that he is good at playing zany characters as he would so often do on SCTV. The Naked Gun did most of this in a much better and funnier fashion just a year prior. Recensie

It is a bizarre and at times uneven piece, and perhaps a bit long and meandering for its type, but there is enough ingenuity in the story to keep things interesting. Good characterizations and a quality cast of performers also help bring the ideas to life. Recensie

There’s something to be said when even Robert Englund’s feelings on Freddy’s Dead is that it was the one where the series clearly jumped the shark. Recensie

Chevy Chase does deliver funny characterizations and the wit, enough to suggest the film is better than its reputation, but it’s still a sizable step down from the delights of the first Fletch. Recensie

While the core themes may be elusive to some viewers, The Lighthouse remains a remarkable achievement in character interplay and psychological tension, keeping one’s eyes on the screen even when we’re not sure we want to see what’s showing. Recensie

Reality echoes the plot of the film, as the more technologically advanced the Terminator the less chance humanity has a chance of emerging in the end. As with all Terminator films, humanity wins the day, at least until the inevitable sequel, spinoff, or reboot, where we can dance the same dance one more time. Recensie

All in all, despite handsome specs and a cast and director that might look good on paper, the chemistry is just not there, whether in front of or behind the camera. This Gemini Man is far from a gem. Recensie

Despite its comedic star appeal, Spies Like Us hasn’t gone down to be a classic 1980s comedy like so many others, though it is generally liked by audiences as a diversion more than as a comedy they fully embrace. Recensie

Joker succeeds at leaving a lasting and discomfiting impression of how a tragic life often can result in tragic outcomes for the person who experiences it, but also in those in his sphere of influence. Recensie

First Blood is recommendable for the parts that work well, including the underlying themes on the Vietnam vet experience even with the unevenness involved in the alternating focus between action and drama. Recensie

The Delta Force is mostly devoid of any attempts for intentional jokes... Recensie

While there is quite a bit of glitz and gloss to the depiction of their lives, they are flawed and human in a way that proves to be refreshingly interesting, especially in how they have to deal with men who frequent the clubs, ranging from complete Wall Street douchebags who think they can run the town to average joes who are interested in feeling the attention the women provide, even though they are only providing it as long as... Recensie

Colaizzo’s film is nicely cast, drawing out good dramatic scenes from a cast of improvisational comedians, including Lil Rey Howery as Brittany’s brother-in-law and sometimes mentor in life. Recensie

It’s gentle, kind, strong, resolved, and very, very likable. It treads the fine narrative line between the literal and the fantastic in a way that doesn’t break its spell, which is the sign of quality filmmakers, despite this being their first effort. Recensie

Picking its spots for R-rated material more efficiently to employ the shock jokes would have delivered much more than continuously delivering the same gag with different sex toys or vulgarities thinking the repetition would elevate snickers into guffaws, or guffaws into audiences rolling in the aisles. Recensie

More modern critics enjoy the risk-taking in the story as well as its commitment to the material, especially in how it tries to mesh the tone of the science fiction of yesteryear into the more contemporary notions of morbid sex and shocking violence that took hold in horror of the 1980s. Recensie

It’s a gentle and wistful tale that stands up for children to get in touch with inner emotions that other projects lack sufficient writing or studio bravery to engage. Recensie

It’s all so much costume work, make-up, lighting effects and sparkles, all waiting for a compelling story to inject them into — a story that doesn’t really make you care much about his it resolves, and thus, is a failure as a fairy tale worth relating in any form beyond witnessing the moody imagery on display. Recensie

Without a studio willing to back its product, and a director who had little interest in the source material Holland drew from to make the original Fright Night so fun, there wasn’t anyone who possessed enough faith in their own film to make this one a success. Recensie

Hobbs & Shaw is cartoonish, noisy, and utterly preposterous, but in a way that fans already expect going into it. Recensie

As a gripping drama, it might be too much of a shaggy-dog story to proclaim the film one of Tarantino’s best, but as a pop-culture pastiche featuring solid performances and a handful of truly ingenious, provocative scenes, OUATIH shows why his legion of fans are willing to overlook the filmmaker’s self-gratification.
