    Your Lucky Day
    Your Lucky Day finds Angus Cloud and the rest of the cast on sparkling form in a twisting, turning, and altogether unpredictably thrilling time.

    When Evil Lurks
    It's not going to be for everyone, but if you've got the stomach for it, then When Evil Lurks is easily among the year's most gruesome, unrelenting, and unforgettable horrors.

    Suitable Flesh
    The spirit of Stuart Gordon is alive and well in Suitable Flesh, with Joe Lynch picking up the baton and delivering both an ode to his inspiration and a riotous horror comedy in its own right.

    Desperation Road
    The tonal balance isn’t an easy one to pull off, and filmmakers vastly more experienced than Crocker have tried and failed, so praise is due to the key creatives for taking something that sounds familiar and perhaps even formulaic on paper, but repainting it as an engaging, emotionally-driven genre film that both is and isn’t what you think it’ll turn out to be.

    Dangerous Waters
    Dangerous Waters' starts off as one thing, but barrels directly into an absurdly entertaining third act when it decides to throw the shackles off and become something else entirely.

    Totally Killer
    The ambition often outweighs the execution, but Totally Killer is still a fun and bloody riff on several different genres at once.

    No One Will Save You
    No One Will Save You stands out among a crowded field for both the swings that it does take and the way it simultaneously acts as a love letter to its many forebears, all while putting its own definitive stamp on the proceedings.

    Expend4bles
    The Expendables is far from high art, but it’s safe to say the saga has never hit a lower point than it has here, a crushing disappointment for anyone genuinely hoping for the return to form that was promised and demanded.

    Heart of Stone
    Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s very much a costly, star-studded, explosive attempt to build a brand new IP from the ground up that the company can call its own, but it’s impossible to shake the feeling that we’ve walked down this exact road many times before. Make of it what you will, but the end product is exactly what you think it’s going to be, for better or worse.

    The Last Voyage of the Demeter
    The Last Voyage of the Demeter makes a decent attempt at reinventing the Dracula mythos, but foregoing the early tension in favor of all-out action proves to be its undoing in the end.

    Meg 2: The Trench
    Ben Wheatley's blockbuster debut reduces him to an anonymous bystander in a sequel that's inexplicably weaker than its predecessor. If we get 'Meg 3,' then somebody needs to remember these things are supposed to be fun.

    They Cloned Tyrone
    They Cloned Tyrone is comfortably Netflix's most original blockbuster of the year, and being exactly the movie you think it is and something completely unexpected at the exact same time is easily its biggest strength.

    Bird Box Barcelona
    Bird Box Barcelona expands the mythology in several new and fascinating directions, but it also makes the mistake of posing several bigger questions that it doesn't seem to want to answer.

    Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
    Tom Cruise has only gone and done it again, with 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One' delivering a stunning summer blockbuster that'll leave you wondering how it can possibly be topped next summer.

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a solid action-packed blockbuster that ticks all of the franchise's required boxes, even if it isn't quite a farewell worthy of a cinematic icon.

    Extraction 2
    Extraction 2 is everything you'd expect it to be; bigger, bolder, brasher, louder, and more spectacular. Unfortunately, it peaks way too early and fails to recapture that early momentum.

    The Flash
    The Flash is good, and occasionally flirts with excellence, but anyone who goes in heading the game-changer that was promised may be left feeling a touch short-changed.

    Kandahar
    Kandahar finds Gerard Butler doing what he does best, and while there are some admirable attempts to deviate from formula, the end result isn't going to be regarded among the action hero's top tier.

    Fast X
    Fast X doubles down on everything longtime fans have come to know and love about the franchise, but anyone who isn't sold on the saga at this stage isn't going to be won over.

    John Wick: Chapter 4
    The exorbitant running time may end up testing the patience of many, but 'John Wick: Chapter 4' does exactly what the franchise does best, but somehow on an even grander and more gripping scale.

    Shazam! Fury of the Gods
    Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a substantial step down from its predecessor, hardly ideal when the future of the entire franchise likely depends on it.

    Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
    Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre delivers exactly what you'd expect from an R-rated Guy Ritchie spy caper with Jason Statham in the lead role, with the offbeat and energetic espionage adventure worthy of at least a sequel or two.

    We Have a Ghost
    We Have a Ghost shows plenty of ambition as writer and director Christopher Landon broadens his horizons, but it never feels anything more than a series of disparate parts failing to come together as a satisfying whole.

    A Lot of Nothing
    Despite some third act wobbles, A Lot of Nothing marks a strong, stylish, and suspenseful debut from co-writer and first-time feature director Mo McRae.

    Avatar: The Way of Water
    As an experience, Avatar: The Way of Water is second to none. In terms of the storytelling, though, James Cameron has fallen into the exact same pitfalls as he did on the first visit to Pandora.

    Violent Night
    Violent Night delivers everything that was promised, and it's destined to find long-lasting life as a cult classic, but there's barely anything of note beyond the superficial.

    Next Exit
    Next Exit aims high, and while it hovers perilously close to overindulgence at times, Elfman’s hugely accomplished first-time feature largely succeeds at every box it attempts to tick off.

    The Good Nurse
    The Good Nurse may focus on someone believed to be one of the most prolific serial killers in history, but the smartest decision the dramatic thriller makes is shying away from the sensationalism of harrowing real-life events.

    Black Adam
    Black Adam is nowhere near the game-changing revolution for the DCEU that was promised, but it's a solid introduction for Dwayne Johnson's antihero nonetheless.

    See How They Run
    If you’re not a big fan of whodunnits, potboilers, or period pieces, then See How They Run isn’t exactly going to convert you. However, if you get on the same wavelength as a deliberately oxymoronic slice of escapism that melds the modern with the classic, the self-aware with the archetypal, and the subtle with the overindulgent, then there’s a distinct possibility you’ll end up with a smile plastered across your face when the lights come up.
