Movie reviews of Hamish Calvert

McAvoy’s superb powerhouse of a performance is equally as entertaining as it is terrifying... Review

Tells this story in a most entertaining and engaging way deservedly proving why it has been receiving such acclaim. Review

With low expectations and the right attitude ‘The Bye Bye Man’ is harmless fun. Review

A powerful and engaging drama including the themes of loss, grief and family. Review

My personal experience aside though, there is no denying that this is a triumph on so many levels... Review

Whilst it is perfectly enjoyable and entertained me for it’s run time, it does little to inspire rewatches. Review

Quite often a real delight. The story is one that deserves to be told and I feel richer for knowing it. Review

The narrative is so enthralling, it easily warrants the running time present and will be the subject of much analysis for years to come. Review

Tells its story just fine, the content never reaches the potential of its interesting premise but is acceptable nonetheless. Review

Has some weak characters and no real structure but it still manages to be the best video game to film adaptation I’ve seen. Review

It’s at times painful to watch such a talented cast spew such cringe-worthy dialogue... Review

The Star Wars prequel that this universe needed and it could well rival some of the original trilogy in places. Review

Thankfully the talented cast elevate the funny, yet not hysterical, script into something quite watchable... Review

The director gets his focus right and keeps things simple the film becomes a compelling watch. Review

Kelly Fremon Craig gets the most of her cast and works at avoiding character cliches through her writing. Review

More than satisfying for a night out at the cinema. Review

Bayona has once again proven that he knows how to direct stories full of emotion but also sequences of action and of drama. Review

There is probably some artsy meaning to it all but the average Joe Bloggs like me just saw a bus driver who writes random poems and not a lot else. Review

Fun characters and very capable cast... Review

Balancing strong political messages and absurd comedy shouldn’t have worked but somehow it does. Review

The performances from Hanks and Eckhart are very good and what more the chemistry is invaluable. Review

The few moments of monotony are quickly combated by the touching nature of so much of this story... Review

Strong cast, likeable characters and unique slant on the standard boxing film formula... Review

Managed to entertain me with ease, however admittedly there was potential for a much better film here. Review
