Movie NationRoger MooreJun 7, 2022
I’m Charlie Walker has just enough “feel good” and “that’ll show them” elements to get by. But I dare say a better film was hacked out of it, at some point. The evidence of that easy enough to see. Read full review

The only real saving grace is the cast, who end up guinea pigs in a test of how difficult it is to overcome underbaked material. Read full review
