    Pawn Sacrifice
    Pawn Sacrifice tells a fascinating story in unspectacular fashion, resulting in a draw.

    The Intern
    The Intern is a movie outmoded in style and strangely retro-sexist in spirit.
    • 68 Metascore

    Black Mass
    By all accounts, Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger was a monster. That's exactly how Johnny Depp plays him in Black Mass, a dark blob of underworld cliches and bad contact lenses.

    Everest
    Director Baltasar Kormakur (2 Guns) essentially made a faux documentary with big stars and better lighting.

    Mistress America
    Mistress America is certainly funnier and sunnier than While We're Young, mostly thanks to Gerwig, America's dizzy, dazzling new girl on the side.

    A Walk in the Woods
    A Walk in the Woods is a trifle compared to 2014's Wild, which tracked a similar real-life journey toward self-discovery in richer detail. But darned if Redford's easy charm and Nolte's gravelly lack of it aren't enticing throughout.

    We Are Your Friends
    The movie takes something primally appealing and attempts to explain it, fetishize it, turn it into something deeper and more dramatic than it is.
