Movie reviews of Hamish Calvert

2018, Horror, Suspense, Mystery

Perfectly serviceable as a popcorn horror flick but ultimately offers nothing new to the genre.

2018, War

Whilst fundamentally flawed Hurricane need not surrender just yet as it still remains an enjoyable wartime picture...

2018, Drama, Suspense

Quickly utilises all aspects of this more unique storytelling technique and creates a tense, satisfying and emotional thriller.

2018, Drama

Quickly becomes an irresistible courtroom drama which should stimulate the minds of those cinephiles looking for a more involved cinematic experience.

2018, Action, Comedy, Crime

Had some fantastic potential and boasts a really entertaining concept but the execution of this just doesn’t measure up.

2018, Action, Comedy

Don’t waste your time or money on this spy comedy flop...

2018

The entire cast, leading, supporting and voice all suit the style of the film and excel in their roles resulting in a sweet treat for families and film fans alike.

2018, Action, Suspense, Crime

The moments of action are always enjoyable but the unremarkable narrative just can’t bring them together in any particularly thrilling fashion...

2018, Comedy

There are a couple of amusing moments but nowhere near enough to make it worth recommending.

2018, Documentary

Requires minimal effort from its audiences and rewards them with an insight into a remarkable young man and his life thus far.

2018, Action, Suspense, Science fiction

A B-movie with a budget, somewhere inbetween a credible shark thriller and an utterly ridiculous ‘so bad it’s good’ creature feature but Statham sells it at every stroke...

2018, Suspense, Science fiction

The overall story is so dull and unoriginal...

2018, Comedy

Ends up being rather unremarkable but nonetheless a directorial debut which shows good potential for any future projects from Miller.

2018, Adventure, Action, Science fiction

Whilst admittedly not as strong as the original film it still holds the fun factor that it did which some of the more recent MCU outings haven’t been able to focus on.

2018, Adventure, Action, Suspense

The stunts and action featured within are some of the best this genre will ever witness, with the entire finale being a masterclass in itself.

2018, Music, Comedy, Love

It’s a real shame that the talented young cast, who really give it their all, don’t have better material to work with.

2018, Adventure, Action, Suspense, Science fiction, Mystery

A road trip movie with too many pit stops, a disaster movie with no real pay off and a drama lacking in almost any affecting emotion.

2017, Drama, Horror, Suspense, Mystery

A carefully constructed and clever chilling tale of a families haunted past.

2018, Drama

Both Foster and McKenzie have nowhere to hide in this intimate drama but their confident performances make it work.

2018, Drama, Action, Suspense

The Rock is awesome, Neve Campbell kicks some serious ass and ultimately help deliver a thoroughly enjoyable disaster porn adventure...

2018, Drama, Action, Suspense, Crime

Ends up as what many feared it would, an unnecessary, underwhelming and unmemorable sequel.

2018, History, War

A charming celebration of a wartime story that’s potentially been lost in the grander narrative of this historic period until now.

2018, Action, Suspense, Science fiction

A refreshing break from blockbuster season offering a small scale standalone story with a concept that’s a blast to see develop.

2018

Like a heavy night out, it has its moments but come the morning it might be a struggle to remember all the details.
