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.
Australia’s first-ever Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar nomination is “a tangible and wholly engaging movie-going experience”.
An unsettling, fun, suspenseful horror-thriller from M. Night Shyamalan. Who would have thought?
Tries to be distinct, but focuses on the wrong aspects of the game franchise.
It’s a struggle to think of any redeeming qualities for this ridiculous actioner.
Intentionally poor, but elevated by genuinely funny jokes.
