Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

The darker moments of drama highlight the cast’s ability to balance lively performances with emotional turmoil, which contributes to the potency of the third act. Recensie

The imaginative visuals tend to be the highlight, though the ideas intermittently seem too farfetched even for this flighty spectacle, causing the film to be far more memorable for individual elements rather than the production as a whole. Recensie

Schwarzenegger is watchable in yet another guns-and-stunts adventure, but this production is entirely forgettable. Recensie

This isn’t the intricately brilliant premise one might hope for from a Holmes tale, even if this depiction of Holmes is thoroughly entertaining and iconic. Recensie

Glory is a superbly designed tearjerker of a war epic, highlighting an often overlooked historical division entirely deserving of this big-budget, star-studded, theatrical adaptation. Recensie

It may be atypical in its vivid unpleasantries, but this production isn’t particularly entertaining; its presentation of cops and crimes isn’t as original as it is merely boundary-pushing. Recensie

Jerry Goldsmith’s pleasant score elevates the proceedings by a hair, even if the bulk of the narrative is rather routine, navigating the way to a moving finale that, a shade like Rocky, suggests that winning isn’t the most important outcome. Recensie

Though the script is the third theatrical adaptation of The Big Clock by Kenneth Fearing, which employs a clever frame job, the story is nicely designed for the film medium. Recensie

Though largely devoid of traditional excitement, the film is brimming with zealous interactions and arguments, with Walter’s erratic nature surfacing at unexpected moments to reintegrate tension and tragedy. Recensie

Whatever the backstory of these killers was meant to be, it’s too vague and disjointed to be engaging, culminating in an ending that abruptly stops without any resolution or informative answers. Recensie

His story may be consequential, but the execution here, primarily with pacing, is woefully detrimental to a cinematic appeal. Recensie

The story just doesn’t possess much power or resonance; the tribulations of the Smith family never really merit a full theatrical picture, nor do the romances, which aren’t all that passionate or memorable. Recensie

Brimming with shootouts, detonations, and showdowns, the conclusion is rambunctious yet hollow, wrapping up with underdeveloped, hastily-conceived ideas. Recensie

It may be inexplicably outlandish, but it’s consistently entertaining. Plus, the music is superb. Recensie

At least the notions that life is messy and consequences can be exceptionally complex and whimsically unknowable are effectively quaint here. Recensie

With its poor construction, pitiful acting, and low budget, it’s decidedly a fitting companion either way. Recensie

At least the production is informative, straightforward, and an admirable dramatization of a monumental era and program and its key players. It is, however, more often academic than entertaining. Recensie

With such a minimal plot, Alley Cat is clearly an excuse for Z-grade exploitation. Recensie

At least Cage’s hero is likable enough, with the premise presenting a decent blend of laughs and action, with both constituents imparting just enough... Recensie

Brave the Dark manages only to be serviceable; its formulaic method of executing its basic tragedy, while moseying its way through a daunting, poorly-paced runtime, prevents it from standing out amid its numerous filmic brethren. Recensie

Gorehounds may not be all that impressed, especially in the deviations from traditional werewolf formulas, but it’s a satisfying supernatural slasher that never gets too ambitious or unwieldy – and thereby neatly accomplishes what it sets out to do. Recensie

There may be beautiful moments, but with each one comes a handful of unnecessary follow-ups; for this premise, it’s too much of a challenge to populate it with more than three hours’ worth of essential material. The running time is a clear hindrance. Recensie

It’s creative and engaging, but ultimately too long for general audiences, despite Scheider giving a tremendous performance as a commercially accomplished yet personally flawed showman. Recensie

It’s essentially a two-hour, steady build to a strikingly self-destructive climax. Overall, however, it’s as brilliantly wry as it is disturbing and arcane. Recensie
