Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

An introspective biopic that subverts some of the usual tropes of a fight movie, while giving space for a wonderful lead performance. Recensie

No touchdown, but the pre-game isn’t bad. Recensie

Soulless and almost completely charmless cinema. Recensie

Propulsive, hilarious, action-packed cinema that feels all too speedy for its whopping runtime. Recensie

Welcome back to Downton. If it’s for the last time, then those who love this series will find this a bittersweet, if satisfactory, ending to the saga. Recensie

Razor sharp, witty, hilarious, and anchored by some wonderful thesps, The Roses is pure acerbic joy writ large. Recensie

The Life of Chuck portends to offer something grand and important, but seems intent on doing the opposite. Recensie

Fight or Flight is undeniably the poor man’s Bullet Train, but what it lacks in quality and production value, it more than makes up for in sheer fun. Recensie

This sequel retains alot of the fun zappiness of the original, but never quite touches the former film’s highs. Recensie

Relay uses a fun and unique twist to ramp up an otherwise pretty standard corporate thriller, but while it holds itself together really well for most of the film, when the twist comes in the final act, everything goes south. Recensie

Propulsive, surprising and entertaining, Caught Stealing will keep you on the edge of your seat. Recensie

Razor sharp and super funny, if a little long, Eddington is a conspiracy-riddled hot pot of fervent nightmare fuel. Recensie

A heartwarming tale of friendship, love and grief, anchored by a wonderful performance from Naomi Watts and an even better performance by her lanky canine friend! Recensie

David Corenswet is a fantastic Superman, but James Gunn’s new take on the iconic hero is a chaotic mess - filled to the brim with overstuffed plot, deeply unsubtle political allegories and a heap of middling CGI. The new Superman lacks the emotional depth to make any of it land. Recensie

Like jumping back into an old memory, the new Jurassic World: Rebirth offers plenty in the way of nostalgia - the good kind - without really pushing the boat out in terms of plot. And that’s more than OK. Recensie

High-octane action supports a somewhat cliche tale in this mile-a-minute driving extraordinaire! Recensie

Serviceable enough entertainment, Elio never really hits major heights in its examination of uniqueness and loneliness. Recensie

El 47 is an interesting play on a revolutionary film, but one that will grip you in the intricacies of its story, while also being incredibly upbeat and heartwarming. Recensie

Materialists is an assured, beautiful and immersive drama that has the trappings of a rom-com, without ever really falling into the tropes of that genre; both high, and low. Recensie

Dangerous Animals is worth the admission for the frothy crescendo of an ending. Recensie

Full of gun-toting violence, Ballerina doesn’t quite capture the magic of John Wick. Recensie

Gorgeously rendered, this live action update has a lot of heart, despite being a pretty much shot-for-shot remake of the animated original. Recensie

Wes Anderson delivers yet another extremely Wes Anderson joint, but while those who love the auteur will surely enjoy it, it remains a little less accessible than some of his better known and appreciated work. Recensie

Full of fun, heart and warmth, Lilo & Stitch is the rare Disney live adaptation that really works. Recensie
