A more melancholic and weepy version of Me Before You in the lower middle class. Javier Bardem is excellent, there are some great ideas and some interesting dialogue, but it's primarily the strength of the premise and its existential overtones than how it's executed. The love triangle was like something cut out of a…

A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

A tribute to a difficult profession, which it's a shame doesn't have its own category at the Oscars. Fall Guy is certainly not popcorn for everyone, which is why it will have a difficult time with high box office and general acceptance. For the average viewer, it's far too loaded with references, innuendo and props…

Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

The Windmill Massacre features 90% of the elements that every slasher film should have, which is very rare to see these days. To the layman a slasher means a massacre of stupid students in the woods, those in the know can watch the film and see how it nicely sticks to clearly stated rules. We have an original setting …

Not Rogen anymore, but Efron? Zac Efron has been on the scene a lot lately, but he has a nose for good comedy, so I enjoy him. Aubrey Plaza is a proper cobra who adds excitement to the film, Anna Kendrick is cute, but her behaviour and voice got on my nerves at times. The worst, however, was perhaps Sugar Lyn Beard…

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how solid it was. For me, one of Jason Statham's best solo efforts, and the sequel outshone the first one by a long shot. The action is very decent, the fights are raw and clear, Jessica Alba is gorgeous, the way the kills were executed was awesome. I…

Although the original is a film of my youth, I was very pleased with the remake and can declare it a success! The Magnificent Seven is my very first movie in the cinema without any subtitle support, so I might have missed some of the jokes, but I still enjoyed it to the max. The cast is excellent, with the best being…

My most anticipated action movie is over and it turned out great. The story is quite simple but captivating. The main character is tasked with being a bodyguard for the local boss's daughter, who is always being harassed. The chemistry between them is excellent as the daughter is rightly arrogant and bossy, hence…
