Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Game of Death barely works as a movie, a handful of fight scenes are undeniably entertaining... Recensie

This production is clearly a series of tantalizing sexcapades embellished by poor dialogue, limited location changes, manipulative blackmail, bloodless killings, and an unequivocally terrible ending. Recensie

Unfortunately, 98 minutes is just too long for teasing and hilariously bad dialogue and negligible artistry, even if the constant nakedness on display is certainly titillating... Recensie

The performances all around are convincing and emotional, allowing Johnson that rare opportunity to embrace a dramatic, meatier role than in his usual adventure flicks. But those turns have considerably more substance than the story itself... Recensie

The acting is once again the highlight; the cast turns in impressive performances, even if the plot can’t offer up any surprises. Recensie

This is a production that boasts both wildly entertaining political thrills and extremely head-scratching digressions; it’s both well-made at times and overwrought at others, never quite realizing an effective balance. Recensie

Either the ambition is way too low, or the resources are practically nonexistent. Recensie

Though the score by Daniel May isn’t half bad, generating minimal excitement, the ultra low budget of Dead Space is its greatest weakness. Recensie

The climax offers up a touch of excitement with a couple of interesting notions, alongside tumultuous endings for a number of the hired guns and a satisfying outcome for the antagonists – even if the ultimate solution makes little sense. Recensie

With frivolous dialogue, intermittent action, sexual innuendo, and teen romance this cheesy, low-budget picture clearly struck a chord with audiences of the era, since it spawned a popular television series, lots of merchandise, and an extensive media franchise. Recensie

Though the characters in Daredevil were largely one-dimensional and watery, the ones here are somehow even duller. Recensie

The Murdock persona is simply too plain and derivative. Recensie

The elaborate chases and confrontations pose fleeting complexities. But with almost no dialogue for the Replicant, Van Damme isn’t half bad. Recensie

It’s a mystery, written by David S. Goyer, but it’s largely obvious from the start who is really behind it all. Recensie

It’s an admittedly silly, frivolous film, but it’s difficult to entirely dismiss the entertainment value of the simplistic characters with black-and-white motives as they face off in increasingly more ominous arenas of mayhem... Recensie

The nonexistent storytelling acumen are just too much to overcome; it’s all too unpretentious and uninspired and insincere to be anything but negligibly entertaining. Recensie

Were it not for the casting, this production could have been far less effective. Instead, though hard-pressed to be considered entertaining, it’s a well-paced, frightful little thriller that is as unnerving as it is intentional. Recensie

The freshness outweighs the problems, generating a fast-paced, exciting, creative – if tonally confused – bit of entertainment, with a remarkably satisfying conclusion. Recensie

Unfortunately, for anyone who is not already familiar with the Silent Hill franchise, this follow-up will surely pose a comparable inscrutableness to its theatrical predecessor. Recensie

Even with a satisfying finale and director Kenneth Branagh serving doubly as the severe main antagonist, this Tom Clancy-based actioner is exceptionally generic. Recensie

With Jerry Goldsmith’s exciting score and a wealth of recognizable stars the overlong and over-the-top specifics are generally digestible. Recensie

Gory sequences do finally arise at the climax but it doesn’t offset the unnecessary humor and the pervasive lack of sincerity. An interesting idea or two can’t overcome the mediocrity of the execution. Recensie

There are a couple of humorous quips about politics, a curiously effective timer countdown as the game’s four quarters expire, and a clever trick or two when it comes to climactic comeuppance. Recensie

It’s obvious what Aronofsky wishes to achieve, chiefly with the crime/comedy meld, but the morbidness of key components invalidates the humor; it’s just not much fun when the cruelty is so consequential. Recensie
