3.5/5
Leo (2023) Sameen Amer Too many cooks may spoil the broth but it turns out that three directors can, in fact, make a fun movie, at least if Leo is anything to go by....

3/5
Abigail (2024) Sameen Amer All in all, the less you know about its story, the more likely you are to enjoy Abigail. It’s a silly, gory horror flick that takes a while to get going and drags in spots but delivers enough zany fun to appease fans of the genre.

4/5
The Fall Guy (2024) Sameen Amer A celebration of stunt work and those who perform it, The Fall Guy thoroughly entertains with its action and wit.

2/5
Damsel (2024) Sameen Amer All in all, Damsel is too corny to really connect with viewers who have seen other movies explore similar ideas but with more nuance or at least woven into more exciting tales.

Ready or Not (2019) Sameen Amer Darkly funny, delightfully absurd, and shockingly gory, Ready or Not takes viewers on a thoroughly entertaining ride while commenting on privilege, class, and marriage.

3/5
Murder Mystery 2 (2023) Sameen Amer It’s definitely not a cinematic masterpiece, but Murder Mystery 2 delivers enough silly chuckles to be worth a watch.
Posted Apr 21, 2023  Edit critic review
65 (2023) Sameen Amer Confusingly bland and riddled with plot holes, 65 doesn’t give its talented lead much to work with.

3.5/5
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Sameen Amer The fourth film in the very entertaining John Wick series delivers lots more action and even some affecting consequences.

3/5
Missing (2023) Sameen Amer Missing is a taut techno-thriller that keeps you riveted with its twisty proceedings.

What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) Sameen Amer What’s Love Got to Do with It? still makes for enjoyable viewing and tugs at your heartstrings (especially if you have stumbled in your search for the right person)...

2/5
We Have a Ghost (2023) Sameen Amer As it stands, the movie is just like its title: generic, overlong, dull, uninspired, and entirely unmemorable.

2/5
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Sameen Amer The whole thing seems to be built almost entirely on cliches and tropes, with no gravity, no sense of impact or consequence.

1/5
Your Place or Mine (2023) Sameen Amer Neither successful as a romance or a comedy, Your Place or Mine miscasts its leads while wasting a capable supporting cast on a dire script.

2/5
Amsterdam (2022) Sameen Amer Amsterdam wastes its immensely talented cast and a hefty budget on an unconvincing script and meandering storytelling.

4/5
The Menu (2022) Sameen Amer Dark, wry, scathing, and utterly riveting, The Menu serves a deliciously twisted treat.

3/5
The Pale Blue Eye (2022) Sameen Amer There is a potentially intriguing mystery at its heart but the plodding The Pale Blue Eye ultimately doesn't make the most of its interesting setup.

2.5/5
White Noise (2022) Sameen Amer While this incoherent fever dream of a film does manage to deliver its message, there are times when the style ends up smothering the substance...still, you can’t help but appreciate the project‘s ambition...

4/5
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Sameen Amer Rian Johnson creates another clever whodunit in the form of the Knives Out sequel Glass Onion.

3.5/5
Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery (2022) Sameen Amer The supremely silly Who Killed Santa? ultimately brings some much-needed joy to our improv-loving hearts. More please!

3.5/5
Violent Night (2022) Sameen Amer An excellent Harbour leads the cast, and a terrific Legui-zamo makes for a perfect antagonist.

3.5/5
Spirited (2022) Sameen Amer All in all, this spiritual intervention, powered by silly antics and autotuned singing, ultimately delivers an entertaining – and at times, even interesting – take on the classic Christmas tale.

2/5
Samaritan (2022) Sameen Amer Samaritan squanders what could have been a fascinating concept by drowning in its own predictability.
Posted Dec 22, 2022  Edit critic review
3/5
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Sameen Amer It may not be the most exciting superhero flick, but Wakanda Forever makes up for its shortcomings with touching drama and terrific acting.
Posted Dec 17, 2022  Edit critic review
Enola Holmes 2 (2022) Sameen Amer With a terrific cast and solid production, the sequel to 2020’s Enola Holmes makes for fun viewing.
Posted Nov 29, 2022  Edit critic review
2/5
Black Adam (2022) Sameen Amer Its reluctance to do something dark and inventive with its protagonist makes Black Adam yet another dull, middling chapter in the DCEU.

2/5
Mr. Harrigan's Phone (2022) Sameen Amer Slow pacing and a dearth of scares make Mr. Harrigan’s Phone a lacklustre watch.

3/5
Lou (2022) Sameen Amer It may be formulaic and predictable, but action thriller Lou still makes for a fun watch, thanks in large part to the considerable talents of its leading lady.

2/5
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Sameen Amer Thor: Love and Thunder is lacking in both love and thunder, and could have used more dramatic tension and more palpable, affecting stakes.
Posted Aug 08, 2022  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022) Sameen Amer What is plain to see though is that this is a series that continue to exist not because it has interesting stories to tell but because it is marketable and still makes the studio plenty of cash.

3/5
Hustle (2022) Sameen Amer All in all, Hustle is a reminder of how charming Sandler can be and a gentle lesson on not giving up on your dreams as well as the joy in helping others reach their potential.

2/5
Uncharted (2022) Sameen Amer Uncharted plays out like a very middle-of-the-road treasure hunt movie which emulates the likes of Indiana Jones and National Treasure and comes off as an uninventive re-tread.

3.5/5
The Bad Guys (2022) Sameen Amer Fun for the whole family, The Bad Guys easily wins you over with its heart and humour.

1.5/5
The Bubble (2022) Sameen Amer There is so much The Bubble could have done with the concept of movies being filmed during the pandemic while satirising the privileged. But there is no bite to the humour and no sharpness to the observations.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) Sameen Amer Sonic the Hedgehog’s second adventure is engaging even if it doesn’t explore inventive terrain.
