Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

A potent, powerful work, full of tough questions, tougher answers, and outstanding performances. Review

Tropes are avoided, substituted instead for a nuanced tale of unanticipated growth and senses of obligation dramatically fulfilled. Review

It devolves into a bullet-dodging, body-battering, glass-shattering, scenery-demolishing collection of brawls. Review

A macabre yet funny adventure, though one small enough in its ambitions as to become terribly unmemorable. Review

It’s as horrifying as it is hilarious, even managing to work in a Hitler comparison that, while not a perfect parallel, is a relevant likening worth scrutinizing. Review

It has a hell of a coda, following up a spine-tingling climax with a perversely poetic finale and parting shot. Review

The pacing, the action, and the humor generally offset the deficiencies in continuity and storytelling. Review

It’s routinely frustrating just how often Peppermint opts for anticipated confrontations and escapes rather than artistic deviations from stale cliches. Review

Despite a couple of very minor additions to the formula, the novelty of it all is almost entirely lost. Review

A classic tale of wrongful imprisonment, daring escape, and vigilantism as revenge... Review

It may not be the best of the pirate adventure films, but The Black Swan holds its own against the Errol Flynn pictures of the era. Review

The picture offers up engaging moral conundrums and perspectives on war, from sacrificing human life in pursuit of victory... Review

There are lulls here and there, but the finale hints at the cathartic fantasy of annihilative vengeance... Review

May be slow in spots and unsure of when to cut to black, but its educational and entertainment values are magnificent... Review

Crafting an original story is hardly necessary, since the focus is on perverting typical children’s characters with penis jokes and puppet prison rape japes. Review

It’s not really a complete film, but a single mission soaked in energetic savagery. At least the tone is consistent and uncompromisingly bleak. Review

The finale packs a wallop... Review

There are problems with the execution, but the finale is extraordinarily grand. Review

Consistently underwhelms... Review

The only components that aren’t outright deplorable are the sets... Review

Despite the visual genuineness of its unglamorous New York setting, Fear City isn’t sure of what it wants to be. Review

Without Karen Black's exceptional performances, this trilogy of terror wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining. Review

Rich with forbidding details and impressive scare tactics. Review

It’s positively dismaying, in a good way, culminating in a chase – and chaos – that is as unforgettable as it is disorienting and cryptic. Review
