Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

A triumph of original cinema, made by filmmakers and performers at the top of their game. Don’t believe the negative hype - it’s a must see. Review

Michael Cuesta utterly bastardises the story, bludgeoning what was once intricate material into a cookie-cutter spy film... Review

A wonderfully creative, original piece that will have you tapping along to it’s gloriously subversive beat. Review

It is in the dynamic between these four friends that the success of Girls Trip lies... Review

The actors create some incredible characters and foster some genuine, engaging interplay between those characters. Review

Not particularly amazing, and in some sense a bit of a waste of the two leads talents... Review

An emotional and engaging cinematic experience that will leave you deep in thought for days afterwards. Review

Despite some innovative and intriguing action set pieces, The Dark Tower is, for the most part, unwatchable. Review

An undoubted mess, albeit an endearing one. Review

May have started with a banal plot, but finishes with you wanting more from this bad-ass blonde beauty and her incredible action driven adventures. Review

If you’re a lover of great acting, tremendous cinematography and third act tension building, you’ll probably love Coppola's latest. Review

A masterclass in cinematic paranoia. Review

A contemptuous, abrasive and insulting film that, over its excessive run-time, seemingly derives pleasure from serving up nonsense and expecting understanding. Review

Successfully transforms a genre piece about aging into a cars-based film that delves into the idea of our place in society, and how to age with grace. Review

Wasting the talent of its cast with aggressively discriminatory dialogue that comes across as unfunny and unearned... Review

By god they’ve done it; they’ve made a good DC movie! Review

Better than On Stranger Tides, but not by much. Review

It can’t capture the surprise of the first film, but if you enjoyed the original, you’ll likely love this one too... Review

Excalibur brings a curious new take on medieval sword fights that is utterly enthralling. Review

Gives us too much of what we have seen before, and not enough, simultaneously. Review

Misses everything we loved about Amy Schumer, wastes Goldie Hawn, and seems intent on delivering up the most banal plot of the year. Review

Winds between humour and seriousness, perplexity and shining revelations... Review

Combines stunning production design, cinematography and a remarkable roster of characters... Review

This laser focused thriller is anchored by a tremendous performance by a terrific actress... Review
