The Visit
Before you know it, the zest of an original perspective explodes against the screen in predictably wincing and foul and violent ways.
The Transporter Refueled
The Transporter Refueled is more—which means less—than a piece of silly, late-summer theater filler. It’s a loathsome exercise in rationalization.
A Walk in the Woods
Nature can even feel like church sometimes, with birds supplying the worship music and lichen padding the pews. This movie, on the other hand, is not very much like church at all.
We Are Your Friends
We Are Your Friends feels like one of the most strangely upbeat seriously foul movies you’ll ever not really want to see.
No Escape
Immersive, driving, life-affirming, disturbingly ugly and white-knuckle terrifying, all in equal measure.
Sinister 2
From the point at which the Catholic priest argues that we’re impotent to confront evil—that the best we can do is run from it—things go downhill fast.
Hitman: Agent 47
47 ends up feeling like little more than a one-dimensional 90-minute ballet of splattering violence and foul language.
American Ultra
Turns out, Mike isn’t the tree: This movie is. It’s a disaster waiting to happen, and it truly is trying to keep you from moving on to better fare.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
It feels strangely cynical, and its pseudo aversion to cursing—while welcome—can’t completely ameliorate the moral hole at its core.
Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A. always got right to the point with its music, so I’ll do the same: Simply put, Straight Outta Compton is among the harshest films we’ve ever reviewed.
