‘Bad Girl’ MOVIE REVIEW: A Taut, Confidently Crafted Thriller
At a tight 87 minutes, ‘Bad Girl’ plays within the thriller genre nicely.
At a tight 87 minutes, ‘Bad Girl’ plays within the thriller genre nicely.
Despite a few small missteps, it’s hard to argue against a film with this many impressive elements.
An ambitious but ultimately halfhearted plot and character study that feels incomplete.
Constant white-knuckle tension balanced out by a strong character study and wonderfully crafted, emotional relationships.
Most of what ‘Gold’ has to offer has been delivered before, only much better.
Despite various impressive elements, repetitive emotional beats and little resolution fail to justify the lengthy running time.
Fails to burrow beyond the surface of its protagonist’s unbalanced, selfish behaviour.
Some great material isn’t enough to change the fact that ‘Live by Night’ begins and ends a dull and unoriginal genre pic.
Despite the darkness, this Oscar-nominated Swedish picture manages to be funny and completely endearing.
A relentless and thoroughly engaging salute to Boston from a formidable director.
