    After A Perfect Game, 'Resident Evil' Delivers A Near-Perfect Movie | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Director Zach Cregger is officially on a cinematic roll. After Barbarian and the Oscar‑winning Weapons, he delivers what is easily the best Resident Evil film in the franchise. Granted, that’s a low bar for this second reboot and eighth overall feature, since the previous iterations were mostly terrible. Resident Evil boasts superb cinematography, a dynamite first act, legitimate scares, and hilariously dark humor throughout. By creating an account, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Poli

    Alan Ritchson Scores Big With His Brutal and Non-Stop New Action Thriller | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Alan Ritchson, Owen Wilson, and an exotic parakeet race to save a dying girl down under in Brisbane, Australia. Runner has all the elements of a swift, buddy actioner and genuinely surprises with several unexpected twists. There's a mystery element fueling the narrative that provides just the right amount of intrigue. The violence isn't excessively bloody and packs a mean punch when Ritchson goes into butt-kicking mode. There are also several banner chase scenes that help to overcome a sizable l

    'Bourne' Director's New Action Epic Is a Dull, 128-Minute Period Drama | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Uprising tells a familiar historical tale with blunt-force delivery and little nuance in a muddled production design. The 1381 English Peasants' Revolt spawned the legend of a hooded archer and his band of merry men, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor in a guerrilla attempt at wealth redistribution. Writer/director Paul Greengrass and his venerated cast craft an origin story with populist intentions. Their message is unmistakable, but what’s meant to be a warning shot across the su

    Mark Wahlberg Is More Brutal Than Ever in His Civil Rights Action Crime Thriller | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The murder of a Black civil rights activist forms an unlikely partnership between a Mafia hitman and a wary FBI agent against the Ku Klux Klan in 1966 Mississippi. By Any Means pulls no punches in a savage retelling of a horrific crime from America's racist past. A legacy of ugly violence and white supremacist oppression is graphically depicted as the indomitable drive for freedom and justice matches ruthless tactics. The story told has its share of flaws, especially with bombastic characterizat

    Style Can't Make Up for No Substance in Adria Arjona's Brutal Throwback Action Thriller | Review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Onslaught pits Adria Arjona against Nazi‑engineered super soldiers in a textbook case of style over substance. The grisly actioner unfolds like a video game with snippets of gallows humor meant to fatten a paper‑thin narrative. That might have been acceptable on sheer entertainment value if the 92‑minute runtime weren’t surprisingly dull and predictable in stretches. It’s disappointing that a film this short and packed with goofy German villains, gratuitous bondage nudity, and a booming soundtra
