See for Me (2021) |
Before long, anyone who's seen far too many thrillers will begin composing a mental list of missed opportunities. - AV Club

A Journal for Jordan (2021) |
It trades in cloying sentimentality and romance, the gooey melodrama done no favors by Washington's stiff, anonymous direction. - AV Club

The King's Man (2021) |
Gleeful, gruesome violence has been one of the more memorable aspects of the Kingsman movies; one is sad to say that, outside of a grungy, late-in-the-film battle royale in a World War I no-man's-land, there just isn't enough of it here. - AV Club

France (2021) |
[Dumont] is more than capable of making movies that are engaging on a level beyond the purely intellectual. France, for the most part, isn't one of them. - AV Club

Zeros and Ones (2021) |
What Zeros And Ones conveys, in its shoestring terms, is the actual mood of a world of uncertainties. - AV Club

Procession (2021) |
A poignant group portrait with something to say about the crossed wires of pain and memory. - AV Club

Red Notice (2021) |
There are certain things that money can't buy. As it turns out, an infectious sense of fun is one of them. - AV Club

Army of Thieves (2021) |
The pleasure of caper movies lies partly in the suspense of watching the puzzle pieces of a convoluted plan fall into place and partly in the group chemistry. Army Of Thieves has neither. - AV Club

The Harder They Fall (2021) |
Apart from some periodically amusing banter, its better parts amount to studious imitation and homage. - AV Club

Dune (2021) |
However inconclusive as a story, the resulting film is a rarity among the overlong effects-heavy blockbusters of the last decade: One actually wishes it didn't have to end so soon. - AV Club

Mass (2021) |
The cast carries the film; Dowd, as Linda, is especially terrific. Yet the feeling that one is watching a latter-day teleplay is hard to shake... - AV Club

The Addams Family 2 (2021) |
These occasional injections of kid-friendly body-horror slapstick only serve to highlight the laziness of the rest of the movie-no one actually says, "Well, that just happened," but considering the quality of the writing, they might as well. - AV Club

Birds of Paradise (2021) |
The real problem is that the film isn't trashy, soapy, or stylized enough be fun. - AV Club

Cry Macho (2021) |
The fact is that, as a movie, Cry Macho is slow and sometimes dull. - AV Club

The Card Counter (2020) |

Dream Horse (2020) |
However ingenuous, Dream Horse feels calculated to appeal to the type of viewer who will get up at the end and say, "Well, that was nice, wasn't it?" - AV Club

State Funeral (2019) |
With a running time of 135 minutes, it eventually becomes exhausting-but that is partly the point of a film about a population going through the motions, of a mass event with a hole where the middle should be. - AV Club

Mortal Kombat (2021) |
This is supposed to be a world of fighters with bizarre outfits and combat abilities, but a lot of the time, the viewer will just find themselves staring at a screen that's mostly rocks. - AV Club

Funny Face (2020) |
In Funny Face, [Sutton] puts everything in movie-movie-ish scare quotes-a self-defeating approach for a paean to urban authenticity. - AV Club

Boss Level (2021) |
The sentimentality is as rote as the movie's '80s lunchbox nostalgia, which offers up a Wilhelm scream, some entry-level Raiders Of The Lost Ark trivia, and a trip to an arcade tournament without the grating nerdy investment of, say, Ernest Cline. - AV Club

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020) |
The intentions of Sponge On The Run's writer-director, Tim Hill... might be noble. But the result mostly serves as a reminder that SpongeBob SquarePants, despite all the fun, is a lucrative modern media franchise like any other. - AV Club

The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021) |

The Mauritanian (2021) |
One can still wish, however, for a little finesse, or at least a movie in which the dialogue doesn't largely consist of characters shouting into each other's faces... - AV Club

Notturno (2020) |

Greenland (2020) |
Instead, we endure what feels like the extended cut of one of six concurrent plots in a Roland Emmerich movie, just to be treated to the big finale of fiery digital gum drops and cheap, cheesy effects. - AV Club

Monster Hunter (2020) |
Jovovich is our last classic action hero, capable of going toe-to-toe with the greats of the '80s when it comes to delivering cheesy dialogue with a steely glare. - AV Club

Fire Will Come (2019) |
Quiet, slow-moving, ambiguous character studies might be a dime a dozen on the festival circuit, but there are few that remind us that there are things out there that still feel as big as myth. - AV Club

Songbird (2020) |
To be honest, it's surprising that it's taken this long for such an example of cash-in pandemic-sploitation to arrive. If there's a warning to be heeded here, it's this: The next one might be worse. - AV Club

Mayor (2020) |
After more than an hour of modest documentary observation, the film suddenly becomes a thriller, with Osit, Hadid, and others holed up in the mayor's office as Israeli soldiers occupy the city center. - AV Club

Vanguard (2020) |
There's no reason why a movie that features Jackie Chan, lion attacks, and machete-wielding henchmen on Jet Skis should be as boring as Vanguard. - AV Club

Stardust (2020) |
Lacking the real-life Bowie's music, artistry, or charisma, Stardust's lackluster version is simply a mediocre jerk who needs roleplaying therapy to deal with his demons. - AV Club

Mank (2020) |
For Fincher, this long-lost Hollywood is both a digitally simulated surface texture and a costume party; sometimes it resembles a Vanity Fair photo spread, sometimes a crypt. - AV Club

Alone (2020) |
Nonetheless, there's something deeply appealing about an already stripped-down cat-and-mouse scenario that becomes dirtier and more elemental as it goes along, tracing a devolutionary arc from the rules of the road to primeval combat. - AV Club

Sibyl (2019) |
Triet's direction is witty, regularly finding clever and disorienting ways to break in and out of scenes while the more predictable developments of the plot take unexpectedly elongated paths. - AV Club

Radioactive (2019) |
The problem with films like Radioactive is that they neither fulfill the biography's basic duty of elucidating the life and times of the subject nor offer a compelling artistic vision or drama as a substitute for the hard facts. - AV Club
