Movie reviews of Derrick Carter

An all-around phenomenal cinematic creation!

Absolutely nuts and I mean that as a compliment.

Had lots of potential to be a compelling look at true evil and friendship in seemingly impossible places.

This sequel is much funnier than its predecessor, even if the plot is weaker.

There are enough chuckles and pieces of smart writing to combat the film’s flat moments and Carrey’s early “trying too hard” obnoxiousness.

Hits strong emotional notes, playing out like a prison drama combined with a tale of self-discovery...

There’s enough entertainment, good acting, and laughs to make it worth a tepid recommendation.

A rare sequel that works on the same level of its predecessor and serves as a brilliant companion piece to that film.

Remains a woefully unfunny, boring, and audience-insulting piece of non-entertainment.

An action movie lover’s dream come true...

Something out of the ordinary and I hope that plenty of viewers love it as much as I did.

A fun time for those who want a kick-ass action flick and not much logic.

Isn’t exactly original, but the Alied mixed with The Blob storyline provides plenty of entertainment on its own merits.

The acting is believable, the twists are creative, and there are plenty of nightmarish visuals...

A fantastically fun time for fans of the franchise, while also serving as a solid introduction to the series for newcomers!

Has enough positive qualities to warrant a recommendation for fans of the first film...

Far from high art, but very much succeeds at being a fun, visually stunning horror-actioner!

Okay at best, which is a real shame because this one could have been something special.

Treats the audience like idiots and recycles material without ever realizing what made it work in the first place...

Entertaining enough to recommend as a fun little scarefest.

An ultra-bleak cat-and-mouse thriller...

Suffers from too many unfocused subplots, lazy writing, and two bland leads.

A fantastic film that’s sure to sink its hooks into fans of gangster stories.

Isn’t a complete failure, but you can certainly find plenty of horror anthologies that are miles better and scarier than this.
