Movie reviews of Derrick Carter

1968, Adventure, Science fiction, Mystery

A technical wonder in its visuals, effects, and scope.

1981, Adventure, Action

Pretty much the perfect adventure film.

2016, Adventure, Fantasy, Action

A film packed with too much filler and obvious bridge-building for future installments...

1956, Drama, History

A classic that has held up and easily stands as one of the best biblical epics of all-time!

2015, Drama

A good movie that might have been a great one under different circumstances.

1966, Western

Keeps its momentum high as potential violence and gunfights seem to be lurking around every corner.

1985, Adventure, Action, Suspense, War

Easily one of the Stallone’s best films and the peak of 80’s action.

1982, Adventure, Action, Suspense, War

An 80’s action movie with more on its mind than just a body count and over-the-top explosions.

2009, Action, Suspense, Crime

If you’re a fan of the first Crank, I tepidly recommend this second installment to you.

2016, Action, Comedy

A good-but-not-great R-rated comedy.

2015, Drama, Comedy

Though the cast is great, they can only do so much with a script that frequently drags its feet...

2016, Adventure, Animation, Comedy

The animation is great. The humor is funny. The message is touching and relevant. The characters are lovable. The writing is smart. See it!

2016, Drama, Suspense, Science fiction

The pacing somehow manages to feel like a slow burn and simultaneously rushes past you.

2004, Drama, Action, Suspense, Crime

Puts a refreshingly emotional and believable human spin on an action formula that’s been used hundreds of times.

1962, Drama, Crime

Encapsulates what it means to be a decent human being and shines as a timeless masterpiece.

2016, Fantasy, Comedy, Love

Pure light-hearted entertainment.

2001, Drama, Action, Suspense, Crime

A brilliantly constructed, fantastically executed two-character story that happens to be a police thriller.

2007, Drama, Crime

Two solid performances, a few good scenes, and solid production values aside, American Gangster is kind of a snoozefest.

2006, Action, Suspense, Crime

A combination of dark humor, non-stop momentum, sarcastic attitude, and sheer style.

2007, Action, Suspense, Crime

A painfully generic, middle-of-the-road experience.

2008, Adventure, Action, Suspense, Crime

Has some stupid fun to be had, but this is mostly drowned out by horrible directing, incoherent editing, and a running time that’s far longer than it needs to be.

2005, Action, Suspense, Crime

A full-fledged action-packed extravaganza from beginning to end.

2002, Action, Suspense, Crime

It’s 92 minutes of action and not much else. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

2009, Adventure, Comedy

Light-hearted, dumb as a rock, and will kill 97 minutes of your life...
