Movie reviews of Bob Mann

Overall, this is an enthralling and enjoyable watch that I would recommend. Review

Although it never quite lives up to its early promise at only 93 minutes it is strongly deserving of your attention. Review

A comedy needs to make me laugh, and this one really did – numerous times. Review

It’s a perfectly pleasant watch and for those (like me) of a certain age, the throwback fashions, vehicles and attitudes deliver a burst of nostalgia for the flawed but rose-coloured days of my first decade on the planet. Review

Comedies need to make me laugh. This one did. Repeatedly. Review

It’s chilling and an insight into the terrible ordeal that many professional women in the film industry, and other industries, have had to put up with before the “Me Too” lid was blown off. Review

It’s not a clever movie; it’s borderline bonkers for most of its running time; but it is entertaining. As a park brain at door action comedy it just about makes the grade. Review

This is a little British film that really packs a punch. Extremely watchable and with a star cast, this ones a keeper. Highly recommended. Review

This was disappointing, since after hearing the premise, I’d been looking forward to this one. Review

True, you may need a couple of paracetamols afterwards, but if your corneas and ear-drums can stand the pace, its not short on entertainment value. Review

If you change the name of the lead character to a fictional one and ignore the based on a true story angle, this is a genuinely uplifting and inspiring film. Review

It’s not bloody Shakespeare. But if this doesn’t make you feel uplifted and better about the world, then I will dutifully kiss the regimental goat. Review

It’s a jumbled messy bear of a movie but is in no way an unpleasant watch. Review

…I loved this one. The story is brilliant (obsv!); the film is simply gorgeous to look at; the locations are magnificent and a blessing for the English Tourist Board. Review

It’s also not a truly TERRIBLE movie either. But unfortunately this is one of the most meh action movies I’ve seen in the past year. It’s just brain-crushingly forgettable. Review

It’s loud and brash and at 109 minutes it overstays its welcome by about 20 minutes. Less would have been more. It’s somewhat better than Suicide Squad, but it’s still a movie that I will struggle to remember in a month’s time. Review

It’s totally gripping. At times hysterically funny; at times shocking. A class struggle movie of a calibre that Ken Loach would never have imagined! Review

It had me gripped to see how things would turn out – like watching a slow-motion car crash! The journey was well-worth the ride: a real page-turner you might say. Review

This is still a really fine movie and will appeal to older folks who like a story rich with character acting and not heavy on the action or special effects. Review

Worthy, well-performed but I just didn’t find it gripping. Review

It’s tense, dramatic and has enough variety of people being shot in the head to make it ghoulishly watchable. Review

I’m not sure it’s the best film of the year but it’s still a well-made movie and a recommended watch. Review

This is a top-class piece of movie-making and deserves all its award success. Review

It’s a glorious movie, utterly absorbing with ravishing cinematography by Yorick Le Saux and a brilliant soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat. Review
