Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Even though it won’t take a clairvoyant to see where the film’s conclusion is heading, the perpetual pursuit of prosperity, both emotional and monetary, filtered through the lens of an insightful comedian provides plenty of enjoyment. Recensie

It may be timely and relevant, but it’s far from satisfying or singular or indelible. Recensie

It’s well-shot and performed, but altogether transitory. Recensie

Foxy Brown can’t live up to the excitement and hipness generated by Coffy, though it would go on to be incredibly influential and successful for the genre, to other derivative works, to future filmmakers, and certainly to the star’s career. Recensie

The tone is serious, the harshness entertaining, the deserts grandly just (the finale is surprisingly well-written and supremely satisfying), and the star perfectly cast. Recensie

A hint of tension surfaces during an escape attempt, but the complexity of the plot is too nominal to maintain much excitement. Recensie

The look of the picture is oozing with slick style, neon-lighted costumes, and exhilarating sci-fi structures; it boasts nonstop action, oodles of destruction and collateral damage, and superhero-movie types of climactic showdowns. Recensie

Game of Death barely works as a movie, a handful of fight scenes are undeniably entertaining... Recensie

This production is clearly a series of tantalizing sexcapades embellished by poor dialogue, limited location changes, manipulative blackmail, bloodless killings, and an unequivocally terrible ending. Recensie

Unfortunately, 98 minutes is just too long for teasing and hilariously bad dialogue and negligible artistry, even if the constant nakedness on display is certainly titillating... Recensie

The performances all around are convincing and emotional, allowing Johnson that rare opportunity to embrace a dramatic, meatier role than in his usual adventure flicks. But those turns have considerably more substance than the story itself... Recensie

The acting is once again the highlight; the cast turns in impressive performances, even if the plot can’t offer up any surprises. Recensie

This is a production that boasts both wildly entertaining political thrills and extremely head-scratching digressions; it’s both well-made at times and overwrought at others, never quite realizing an effective balance. Recensie

Either the ambition is way too low, or the resources are practically nonexistent. Recensie

Though the score by Daniel May isn’t half bad, generating minimal excitement, the ultra low budget of Dead Space is its greatest weakness. Recensie

The climax offers up a touch of excitement with a couple of interesting notions, alongside tumultuous endings for a number of the hired guns and a satisfying outcome for the antagonists – even if the ultimate solution makes little sense. Recensie

With frivolous dialogue, intermittent action, sexual innuendo, and teen romance this cheesy, low-budget picture clearly struck a chord with audiences of the era, since it spawned a popular television series, lots of merchandise, and an extensive media franchise. Recensie

Though the characters in Daredevil were largely one-dimensional and watery, the ones here are somehow even duller. Recensie

The Murdock persona is simply too plain and derivative. Recensie

The elaborate chases and confrontations pose fleeting complexities. But with almost no dialogue for the Replicant, Van Damme isn’t half bad. Recensie

It’s a mystery, written by David S. Goyer, but it’s largely obvious from the start who is really behind it all. Recensie

It’s an admittedly silly, frivolous film, but it’s difficult to entirely dismiss the entertainment value of the simplistic characters with black-and-white motives as they face off in increasingly more ominous arenas of mayhem... Recensie

The nonexistent storytelling acumen are just too much to overcome; it’s all too unpretentious and uninspired and insincere to be anything but negligibly entertaining. Recensie

Were it not for the casting, this production could have been far less effective. Instead, though hard-pressed to be considered entertaining, it’s a well-paced, frightful little thriller that is as unnerving as it is intentional. Recensie
