Movie reviews of Rob Wallis

Miike is nothing if not a showman and Blade of the Immortal is one hell of a show.

Disappointingly by-the-numbers.

A modern Midwestern Bildungsroman.

This utterly clueless adaptation of Jo Nesbø’s bestseller fails on every conceivable level.

Fillet steak from grind-house...

An enthralling fairy-tale entirely of Del Toro’s creation.

A family outing that’s well worth making the trip.

The tennis and drama on display are both exemplary.

What do we do when life imitate art to the extent that it renders art redundant?

All blue-lit wolves and no bite, Wonderstruck is simply away with the fairies.

It’s misery and anguish that are the heart of Mudbound...

A film about which it’s easy to be cynical.

A horror masterclass that pays tribute to the franchise as a whol...

More than sufficient in keeping the wolves from the door.

May not exactly manage a Grand Slam, but, with committed performances from its two leads it’s definitely no double-fault.

Belabours itself straight through a conceptual caesarean.

Might not blow you away in cinematic terms, but don’t let that stop it sweeping you along to the cinema.

A rough, tender, distinctly Yorkshire love story.

Both hilarious and heartbreaking, it’s a cinematic achievement well worth the advertising space.

One of those rare films where, for a short time, form and content are in perfect and subtle accordance.

In tune with a generation of middle-class Millennials...

The film is too – albeit lovingly – creaky in places to be a first-rate potboiler.

Cruise brings a self-deprecating charm to the character of Seal...

Following a deceptively tricky formula of violence, humour, and pathos, The Hitman’s Bodyguard is forced to rely on the chemistry of its two leads.
