A narrative that takes our characters to new places but that is so heavily influenced and dependent on the cherished past of these films makes for a compelling sports drama. Portrayed powerfully by a knockout cast they ensure that Creed II isn’t the installment that’s throwing the towel in on this long standing icon of franchise film. Review

Instead of delivering an exciting heist story embedded in a dark crime thriller what Widows really offers is an under-cooked, tonally mismatched ensemble piece that’s never as good as its players. Review

The film is a basic revenge thriller at its heart but one that lacks a captivating story to tell so instead overcompensates with ludicrous content which comes across as nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract from the many shortcomings the film presents. Review

The narrative has the potential to develop into a fascinating family drama but it rarely ventures beyond the average only really excelling through the three central performances of its cast. Review

Horror aside the film boasts a gripping narrative, albeit one which has issues with its bookends but nonetheless still making Suspiria feel like an unmistakable milestone of modern horror. Review
