It’s a good sign for the intelligence of your science fiction movie, when it’s easy to imagine the story working as a stage play with just two actors. Read full review

Estes handily pumps up the tension, and keeps the story moving along at a brisk pace. There may be nothing particularly memorable about the filmmaking on display, but Relive is focused mostly on its actors. Read full review

The film’s better than you’d expect from a late-summer offering, mostly due to a strong cast led by the great Oyelowo. Read full review

What keeps Don’t Let Go watchable is, ironically, its predictability: the cop-movie clichés, the shootouts, the mishandled evidence, the bargain-bin twists. Read full review

It's a disappointment when so much goes unexplored, when the film bows to the demands of a cliched plot driving the story forward. Read full review

Even accepting the increasingly dizzying level of logic-defying, mind-effing, increasingly convoluted time-bending developments in the entertainingly bad (but still bad) Don’t Let Go, I found myself wondering why and how. Read full review

Don’t Let Go is a slog. I wish it loosened up, better balanced the potential fear, joy, wonder, and delight spooling out of its premise to yield a more adventurous result. Instead, it carries itself with dread and stilted seriousness, alleviated only by noteworthy performances from Reid and Oyelowo. Read full review

Honestly this movie is underrated. The acting is superb, the plot is quite interesting, the delivery as a whole excellent.
