A more melancholic and weepy version of Me Before You in the lower middle class. Javier Bardem is excellent, there are some great ideas and some interesting dialogue, but it's primarily the strength of the premise and its existential overtones than how it's executed. The love triangle was like something cut out of a…

A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

A tribute to a difficult profession, which it's a shame doesn't have its own category at the Oscars. Fall Guy is certainly not popcorn for everyone, which is why it will have a difficult time with high box office and general acceptance. For the average viewer, it's far too loaded with references, innuendo and props…

Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

I wasn't too keen on the film at first, after all the drama and romance genres are pretty repulsive to me. But once I got into it, I got a pure thriller with time loop and slasher elements, and it's awesome. The story is quite complicated as it's all in flashback and it's hard to navigate in places, especially when…

This year, the Spaniards have turned to crime/action instead of mystery thrillers, and even this approach suits them. The story is not very original, though, the classic someone owes money to a mobster and has no way to pay it back, so the gorillas go after him. Toro, the main character, is properly tough and knows…

The Windmill Massacre features 90% of the elements that every slasher film should have, which is very rare to see these days. To the layman a slasher means a massacre of stupid students in the woods, those in the know can watch the film and see how it nicely sticks to clearly stated rules. We have an original setting …

Not Rogen anymore, but Efron? Zac Efron has been on the scene a lot lately, but he has a nose for good comedy, so I enjoy him. Aubrey Plaza is a proper cobra who adds excitement to the film, Anna Kendrick is cute, but her behaviour and voice got on my nerves at times. The worst, however, was perhaps Sugar Lyn Beard…

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how solid it was. For me, one of Jason Statham's best solo efforts, and the sequel outshone the first one by a long shot. The action is very decent, the fights are raw and clear, Jessica Alba is gorgeous, the way the kills were executed was awesome. I…
