Someone Is Watching Me (1978)
Someone's Watching Me! proves to be such a tough slog for much of its brief running time that periodic highlights like that are essentially (and ultimately) rendered moot.

1.5/4
The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)
...a well-intentioned yet entirely misbegotten endeavor that squanders a good cast and searing true-life setup.

Blood Father (2016)
It is, in the end, impossible to label Blood Father as anything less than a massive missed opportunity...

.5/4
The Recall (2017)
Just about the only positive element contained within the seemingly endless proceedings is Wesley Snipes' unabashedly over-the-top turn as a mysterious hunter...

2.5/4
Risk (2017)
...the movie does capture the tedium one assumes Assange faces on a daily basis now, so on that level it's hard to deny that Poitras has succeeded.

3/4
Hidden (2015)
It's clear fairly early on that Hidden benefits substantially from the Duffer brothers' patient, methodical approach to their spare screenplay...

3/4
The Firm (1993)
...a completely passable adaptation that never quite becomes the classic legal thriller it wants to be.
Posted May 24, 2017

2/4
The Wall (2017)
...an endeavor that, even at 81 minutes, simply can't sustain a feature-length running time.
Posted May 21, 2017

1.5/4
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
...a handsome-looking but entirely empty comic-book adaptation.

Alien: Covenant (2017)
Alien: Covenant progresses into a somewhat watchable yet entirely underwhelming midsection that does, more often than not, seem to be spinning its wheels.

3/4
A Few Good Men (1992)

2/4
The Circle (2017)
...comes off as a half-assed adaptation that feels as though it lost whole subplots during the editing process.

3/4
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1993)

Their Finest (2017)
It's immediately clear that filmmaker Lone Scherfig, along with scripter Gaby Chiappe, isn't looking to cultivate an atmosphere of subtlety here...
Posted Apr 22, 2017

2/4
Gifted (2017)
It's ultimately difficult to label Gifted as anything more than a disappointingly generic drama that would, stripped of its leading man, feel perfectly at home on Lifetime...
