Greater
“Worth watching, particularly for fans of fighting-giants, feel-good athletics films.”
War Dogs
“There’s harrowing ugly-truth-telling to keep things entertaining and eye-opening all the way through.”
Hell or High Water
“Takes a rudimentary bank robbing plotline and elevates it to truly special heights.”
Pete’s Dragon
“Wants to be the next generation’s ‘E.T.’ For the most part, the effort feels genuine albeit slightly generic.”
Sausage Party
“Hilarious at times. With a little more stamina leading up to the climax, it could have been legendary.”
Blood Father
“The dialogue is clever, laced with satire, but not too much; in spots, it’s lightly reminiscent of Shane Black.”
Suicide Squad
“[Has] an erratic tone and butchered-to-hell narrative flow…[and] feels icky with flop sweat.”
Jason Bourne
“You might wish Bourne had stayed in hiding instead of going through the motions one more time.”
Ghostbusters
“With its somewhat scaled-back scares, it feels a bit more like a kids’ movie than the original.”
The Infiltrator
“The best thing the film has working for it is its sense of tension. It does, however, become plodding.”
The Secret Life of Pets
“Children won’t mind the familiar narrative and will flock to it because of the likeable animals.”
Warcraft
“Takes a video game with a paper-thin premise and attempts to craft a low-rent ‘Lord of the Rings.'”
