Deep Water
‘Deep Water’ is essentially two disaster movies rolled up in one. Squinting heroism and bloody carnage abound.
Mortal Kombat II (2026)
‘Mortal Kombat II’ is a faithful adaptation of its video game source material—which means lots of blood-soaked butchery.
Michael
‘Michael’ covers Michael Jackson’s rise to superstardom with much more style than substance—and a few content issues, too.
Office Romance
Netflix’s ‘Office Romance’ could have been a cute romcom, but it chose to violate the zero-tolerance policy in far too many ways.
In the Grey
‘In the Grey’ feels a lot like ‘Mission Impossible’ with a dash of ‘Oceans 11’ sprinkled in. Except there’s a much higher body count. And a lot more profanity.
Is God Is
For all its epic pretensions, ‘Is God Is’ feels hollow and half-made; a revenge thriller painted with merely the trappings of classical heft.
Hokum
As a horror flick, ‘Hokum’ works. But it won’t work for everyone. It’s a film that even adults should walk into with their eyes wide open.
Iron Lung
In ‘Iron Lung,’ a guy pilots a tiny submarine through an ocean of blood. And that, my friends, should be all you need to know.
Ladies First
Netflix’s ‘Ladies First’ offers a satirical look at a world dominated by women, often in crass and eye-rolling ways.
Desert Warrior
‘Desert Warrior’ provides a stylized look at what may have led up to the historical—and bloody—seventh-century Battle of Dhu Qar.
