7 Days in Hell (2015) 87% 4/5 EDIT “7 Days in Hell, then, is the pre-ceremony bachelor party, a vulgar and ridiculous good time that's as crass and unpredictable as it is really bloody funny.” – We Got This Covered Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) 47% 4/10 EDIT “Lovers of Austen, zombies, or half-decent genre fare will have little to feel ardent about watching Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” – We Got This Covered Feb 4, 2016 Full Review 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) 51% 5/10 EDIT “A Michael Bay with restrictions is not a Michael Bay that's particularly worth watching, as 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi illustrates.” – We Got This Covered Jan 14, 2016 Full Review Life (2015) 63% 5/10 EDIT “As a portrait of James Dean, Life only manages to capture his soft, stolid side.” – We Got This Covered Nov 30, 2015 Full Review Victor Frankenstein (2015) 26% 4/10 EDIT “A potential vein of revisionist sex politics isn't nearly enough to warrant sitting through the drearily animated efforts of Victor Frankenstein.” – We Got This Covered Nov 24, 2015 Full Review Creed (2015) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Creed is a crowd-pleasing, franchise-extending nostalgia trip of the rarest sort: one that's not just enjoyable but inspired.” – We Got This Covered Nov 24, 2015 Full Review The 33 (2015) 49% 5/10 EDIT “Though it's not a great film by any means, director Patricia Riggen extracts a fair few moments of inspiration and brilliance from the mountain of sanitized mush that is The 33.” – We Got This Covered Nov 10, 2015 Full Review Burnt (2015) 29% 4/10 EDIT “More Top Gun than Top Chef, Burnt is a largely insufferable character drama about one awesome dude's struggle to be even more awesome.” – We Got This Covered Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Rock the Kasbah (2015) 7% 3/10 EDIT “The shareef won't like it, but can you blame him? Rock the Kasbah is a dreadful excuse for a comedy that will make you question your faith in Bill Murray.” – We Got This Covered Oct 20, 2015 Full Review Pan (2015) 27% 5/10 EDIT “Pan is a confounding bauble worthy of Neverland, a film with no reason to exist that will inspire obsessive rewatching to figure out how it came to be.” – We Got This Covered Oct 5, 2015 Full Review Mr. Right (2015) 45% 5/10 EDIT “It didn't seem like the phrase "it's no American Ultra" would ever be necessary, but then along comes Mr. Right.” – We Got This Covered Sep 18, 2015 Full Review Sunset Song (2015) 81% 8/10 EDIT “Sunset Song is the kind of film that makes hours in a multiplex theatre feel like curling up fireside with a good book.” – We Got This Covered Sep 17, 2015 Full Review James White (2015) 92% 8/10 EDIT “It's hard to imagine a scenario where James White can't be pointed to as among the best of this year's American debuts.” – We Got This Covered Sep 17, 2015 Full Review Beasts of No Nation (2015) 91% 8/10 EDIT “Beasts of No Nation is a harshly beautiful contradiction, an unsparingly bleak portrait of war that does better than most at humanizing the people fighting it.” – We Got This Covered Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Equals (2015) 36% 7/10 EDIT “Equals may lack for inspired construction and razor-sharp plotting, but achieves moments of tactile sensuality that are rare for its genre.” – We Got This Covered Sep 16, 2015 Full Review The Meddler (2015) 85% 7/10 EDIT “Like many a mother, The Meddler can be frustrating on occasion, but is worth giving your time to.” – We Got This Covered Sep 16, 2015 Full Review Back Home (2015) 73% 8/10 EDIT “Strong performances and direction allow the smartly assembled Louder Than Bombs to ring true.” – We Got This Covered Sep 16, 2015 Full Review The Program (2015) 62% 5/10 EDIT “The Program streamlines Armstrong's career down to a hastily told and mostly hollow sports drama.” – We Got This Covered Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Lolo (2015) 59% 6/10 EDIT “Strong casting and a bawdy sense of humour help to freshen up Lolo's stale trappings.” – We Got This Covered Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Trumbo (2015) 74% 7/10 EDIT “What Trumbo lacks for inspiration it makes up for with a high wattage ensemble, zippy dialogue, and unexpected modesty.” – We Got This Covered Sep 13, 2015 Full Review Truth (2015) 64% 5/10 EDIT “You'll know if Truth really has done its job if it compels you to ask questions about the history it dramatizes.” – We Got This Covered Sep 12, 2015 Full Review The Danish Girl (2015) 66% 6/10 EDIT “The aesthetics and performances of The Danish Girl are powerful, but don't always come off as being in service of the artists they're meant to capture.” – We Got This Covered Sep 12, 2015 Full Review Sicario (2015) 91% 8/10 EDIT “The acting, craft, and tone of Sicario are so precise that the absurdity of this cartel yarn is both its greatest weakness, and maybe its entire point.” – We Got This Covered Sep 11, 2015 Full Review Where to Invade Next (2015) 79% 6/10 EDIT “Where to Invade Next preaches entertainingly to its choir, but offers little in the way of actionable intelligence.” – We Got This Covered Sep 11, 2015 Full Review The Martian (2015) 91% 7/10 EDIT “The Martian might just be an empty spacesuit underneath the science and spectacle, but it's a very entertaining one.” – We Got This Covered Sep 11, 2015 Full Review
