Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

Meandering, and never really fulfilling, An Interview With God does little with its intriguing premise. Review

An electrifying, constantly surprising and shockingly bloody tale anchored in solid performances from some incredible actors. Review

Powerful, dramatic and endlessly catchy, A Star Is Born will have you singing all the way home. Review

A decidedly average, standard Kevin Hart comedy that never truly fulfils the potential of it’s much hyped Hart-Haddish team up. Review

Damien Chazelle delivers a thought-provoking, respectful and inspiring take on man’s greatest achievement. This is much watch filmmaking. Review

Funny, thrilling and bonkers in just the right amounts, A Simple Favour hits all the right buttons. Review

Funnier than it had any right to be, and at times a really smart send-up of the film noir genre. screen-shot-2018-05-18-at-10-00-31-am.pn... Review

A wasted premise, saved only intermittently by Statham, who has to carry a lacklustre cast on his back as well as the 75-foot shark. Review

Breaks the mould and delivers a metric tonne of incredible action in a story with real heart. Review

Not perfect, but undoubtedly funny and surprisingly action-filled. Review

Incredibly powerful, raucously funny, tremendously poignant and timely, and draped in a layer of undeniable cool. Review

Isn’t going to win any awards for the quality of its filmmaking. But it is undeniably joyous and absolutely fun, and will have you singing all the way home. Review

Absolutely insane, but endlessly loveable, Skyscraper is as wholly unbelievable as it’s gigantic centrepiece tower. Review

An abomination of a film. Review

It might not be as good as Sicario, but it’s still a tense, adult drama that we want to see more of on screen. Review

14 years on, and just as raucously funny and effortlessly entertaining. Review

Consistently funny and ridiculous, if borderline stereotypical, Ideal Home is an entertaining watch. Review

The film strikes a perfect balance, drawing on all the aspects we’ve come to know of Han Solo, and answering some niggling questions without shoving it down the throat of its audience. Review

Raucous, irreverent, bloody and undeniably joyful in it’s contrarian nature, Deadpool 2 delights in tearing down the genre norms and is all the better for it. Review

Beautiful but ponderous, Simon Baker’s directorial debut eschews much of the standard Winton formula and much of the guff in pursuit of something much more subtle. Review

A mile a minute, action packed, fanboy overloading film about retreat. Bloody brilliant. Review

Eels like a comedy made in 2001. Best to let this one stay in the past. Review

Brings his quirky, symmetrical charm to stop motion once again; and while it’s no Fantastic Mr. Fox, it’s definitely still a good boy. Review

Batshit insane, impossibly stupid and unbelievably entertaining, Rampage is exactly what you’re looking for in a big, dumb disaster movie. Review
