Movie reviews of Hamish Calvert

Riotous B-movie fun, with its killer concept and solid execution audiences won’t be disappointed.

A crowd pleasing triumph which should cater for viewers across several generations.

Heigl’s incredibly camp performance, a change from her usual rom-com typecasting, is the best thing about the film.

The cast are one of the strongest elements of the film, with all members pulling their weight and providing quality performances.

Dark storytelling at its finest.

Feels like a subdued Woody Allen flick.

It’s a sell out of the biggest kind, satisfying the needs of casual mainstream viewers in spectacular fashion.

There are moments of quality and the cast still have their wonderful chemistry but as a whole the film is easily the weakest entry in the series.

Finely tunes it’s cast including all the essential players and getting rid of any dead weight it had been carrying.

This entry also has the most authentic feel of family before the future films take this element too far.

The writing is probably at it’s strongest here too with an interesting story built around the villain of the film, Braga.

The lack of either Diesel or Walker does cost the film somewhat however transporting to a completely different continent manages keep things fresh.

It’s a nos filled thrill ride which easily feels the most standalone of the series.

It’s a solid crime action movie with the added element of street racing incorporated throughout.

We all know that the cast are likeable too but the script is never interesting or funny enough to make the most of them.

The ensemble cast are tremendous with potential for every member to be a possible favourite.

The potential for comedy here was massive but the concept & setting have been wasted on an unfunny script.

Performances, action & narrative are all fine but there’s missed potential everywhere you look.

There’s great potential here but not enough care has been taken in morphing this from page to screen.

The likeable cast shine in this interstellar setting despite their slightly lacking characters.

Solid animated entertainment.

The narrative consistently entertains.

The performances, atmosphere, narrative and characters are all very engaging...

It wasn’t awful but it’s not far away from it.
