The ensemble is the main reason why the film has its delightful instances, especially when it comes to the scenes in which He, Ka-Yan Lam, and Chau are featured. But, ultimately, the script lacks the originality or the character development necessary to give its multiple couples their ideal sendoffs.

It's a film that you start desperately wanting to like, perhaps because it deceives you into believing it is something other than a violent power fantasy. As the film comes to a close, all that is left is a sour taste in your mouth.

It's not a perfect horror movie, but it has all the right ingredients and is such a great way for someone who enjoys the rougher things in life to spend 90 minutes.

A Widow's Game sets out to be an intriguing portrayal of a high-profile case but doesn't really hit the mark.

Yes, Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye is not a movie, and those who buy their tickets in search of a fully fleshed-out motion picture will certainly be disappointed. But if you know what to expect from it, Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye is nothing but an entertaining ride from start to finish.

Diablo brings the action, but the movie gets tripped up by a villain who doesn't quite fit the story.

This is a truly immersive experience that makes the best use of every element of filmmaking, and it all comes together to create a uniquely chilling horror.

Don't Tell Larry feels like it really should have been a half-hour episode of a television sitcom rather than a movie.

It does slightly fall off in its final act, becoming aimless and stretched, and ending around 30 minutes after it should. But its first two acts are deeply enthralling, and Vicky Krieps' lead performance is an Odyssean tour de force.

Disney Channel's latest sequel has all the bells and whistles, but not much in the way of substance.

Ultimately, Skillhouse boils down to a bunch of stuff that just happens to characters we don't care about, who make choices that don't make sense for reasons that aren't well grounded, in a place that's poorly shot, in order to say things that have been better said elsewhere.

A messy, confusing and thoroughly unengaging experiment, with the kernel of a good idea underneath.

A scathing documentary about the price of fame and honest artistry.

An eerie, well-acted stroll along the well-trodden path of pregnancy horror.

It's a relentless ghost train of a movie that blinds you with its color, deafens you with its chaos, and pushes you to hysterics with its overabundance of silly, splatter-filled action.

The fifth installment of a beloved modern horror franchise proves that it's losing steam.

Trust does a great job of showing what Turner is capable of. The problem is everything around her. Pardon the pun, but it takes an interesting premise and doesn't trust itself to craft a compelling story with interesting characters around it.

It’s a totally pointless pursuit that has no interest in interrogating why A Serbian Film came into existence, only how. An 80-minute behind-the-scenes promotional featurette for a film that, even after an entire documentary devoted to defending its existence, still feels completely meaningless.

Rainn Wilson gives one of his best performances in this compelling action comedy.

Whimsical in concept but hollow in execution, Eternal Return drifts aimlessly despite Naomi Scott's glow.

A short runtime kills any character development and tension.

If a movie is going to give us a man reuniting with his dad and them coming to love each other, then it needs to give them the freedom to really hash it out and explore the consequences of their estrangement. Looking Through Water only skims the surface.

This is a movie made perfectly for those viewers who are somewhere between childhood and adulthood, and it understands them. It throws just enough of life's nastiness at them without making it too overwhelming or hopeless, and it has a real comprehension of how teens often feel: misunderstood and unsupported by those around them, but not in that stereotypical "get outta my room, Mom!" way.

Night of the Reaper succeeds in Christensen's goal of bringing something new to the horror genre, and keeps the audience engaged, mystified, and on the edge of their seats.

Killer coyotes aren't all that scary, and the comedy of the supporting characters feels forced and overly written. Kudos to the crew for coming up with a premise and refusing to send it off the rails into fantastical absurdism. Still, just because you keep the plot grounded doesn't mean that there is enough to keep up the tension.

The sci-fi thriller certainly has some bumps along the road, but a dedicated performance from Jessica Rothe helps amplify it into an intriguing ride that cleverly showcases the actor's impressive range.

If you're looking for a narrative and humor that matches the heights of the first movie, you'll likely walk away disappointed in how it takes such a hard pivot towards mean-spirited and juvenile attempts at shock value, leaving the heart and relatable stakes of the original completely in the dust.
