Movie reviews of Steve Dinneen

Derivative in the best possible sense... Review

An exquisitely filmed piece of ultra-violence... Review

T makes you want to call your family and tell them you love them. It’s brilliant. Review

A film of rare brilliance, unlikely to be bettered this year. Review

Too eager to hold its audience’s hand... Review

A spectacle that shouldn’t be missed. Review

Still imbued with the crackling energy and sharp humour that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made a stock in trade... Review

A convoluted jumble... Review

The Alien franchise feels revitalised, even if we’ve seen it all before. Review

Smart enough to balance its message with a wicked comic streak and some serious horror nous. Review

Chan-wook both has his cake and eats it, and it tastes delicious. Review

A smart, stylish blockbuster that doesn't take itself too seriously. Review

The chemistry crackles so effortlessly; trips down memory lane are rarely this much fun. Review

Natalie Portman will take the plaudits for her exceptional mimicry and emotional depth... Review

There’s enough style in evidence to ensure Affleck’s card remains relatively unmarked... Review

It’s a complex and ambitious structure, pulled off with the assurance of a veteran filmmaker... Review

A typically solid performance from Affleck, tough enough to breathe life into the formulaic action sequences... Review

The superb visuals and all-round quality of the performances are enough to compensate for the fact there isn’t really an antagonist... Review

Hints at a fresh take on the American indie movie, but lapses disappointingly into a series of cliched genre tropes... Review

A savvy internet morality tale tacked on to a giddy teen blockbuster... Review

Has terrible pacing, shambling along under the weight of too many characters and a jarring dichotomy of styles... Review

This pitch-black Danish comedy touches upon incest, sex addiction, bestiality and vivisection, yet still manages to be disarmingly adorable. Review

Lacks the dramatic clout to become a classic, but with striking visuals and a beautiful score... Review

There’s plenty of humour in Moffat’s dirty poetry, and it ends with an unexpected emotional whirlwind of triumph and loss. Review
