Warfare brings what Alex Garland learned about the brutality of sound in Civil War, but lacks the characters and story to make this film comparably noteworthy.
With already being an EGOT, it seems Viola Davis’ next goal is to become one of the biggest names in the action genre.
“The Accused” may contain interesting ideas, but it lacks the characters and story to execute them.
“Drop” wastes a perfectly good romance for a so-so thriller that has a decent mystery element and backends all the action seen in the trailer.
“The Amateur” may not feel as long as it is, but it is certainly forgettable, despite the names involved.
A mix between taking advantage of how much Ray Nicholson looks like his father and the name recognition of Samara Weaving only to make Alba Baptista the most interesting part of “Borderline.”
“The Woman In The Yard” is a reminder of how our thoughts and feelings, the lies we tell ourselves, often play the villains in our story.
While Jenna Ortega makes the best out of what is offered, a lot of “Death Of A Unicorn” is hit or miss.
“Locked” gives you an idea of what the 1% wishes they could do in reaction to those who, at best, inconvenience them or, at worst, make them feel unsafe.
While there is a certain beauty to “Ash” it maybe questionable if it has the substance you’d want or expect.
“Novocaine” is a reminder that spring is coming and we’re exiting the period where movies aren’t expected to be huge hits, but potentially the biggest of the year – with films like “Novocaine” being a warmup.
“Companion” pushes Sophie Thatcher to the point of showing not only is she the top scream queen out there, but she could conquer the drama genre next.
While sometimes feeling like it lacks the expected payoff, “Inheritance” helps Phoebe Dynevor seem like a safe bet if she’s associated with a production.
A video review and summary of Prime Video’s On Call: Season 1.
Prime Video’s “On Call” goes against trend when it comes to giving us a cop show, and while there is a certain level of adjustment required, it ultimately makes for a quality binge-watch.
With Martin Portlock switching between Pennywise and Joker, and the surprising LGBT+ themes make “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare” shocking in more ways than one.
Through Eddie Redmayne’s work and the development of his character, “The Jackal,” we get perhaps one of the best antiheroes of the year.
“Werewolves” reminds you why the werewolf trend hasn’t revived like vampires despite multiple movies in a year with no true revival in sight.
“The Fix” is a reminder that sci-fi productions don’t always need a major backer to look good and hold something compelling.
“Heretic” uses the hook of horror as an entry point for a deeper conversation about the role and purpose of religion in society.
Dylan Sprouse stars as a veteran who is caught in a terrorist attack on American soil, trying to keep his little sister from being killed in action.
“Time Cut” feels so middle of the road, to appeal to maybe too many segments, that it just feels like a poor imitation of a better product.
“Gazer,” thanks to its writing and lead, Ariella Mastroianni, keeps you engaged through its nearly two-hour mystery/investigation as a multitude of questions pop up.
“Carnage For Christmas” gives you a campy horror movie that may have notable visuals, but some may find it lacks substance.
“Smile 2” presents the idea the franchise is perfecting a formula which should be able to get it through a few movies before getting stale.
“Bagman,” starring Sam Claflin and Antonia Thomas of “The Good Doctor,” lacks everything needed to be a compelling horror film, and not just because it is PG-13.
“Never Let Go” may star Halle Berry, but after a certain point, it is all about showcasing her young co-stars and furthering their careers.
“The Substance” pushes the need to question whether its potential message is lost in the pursuit of gore and its desire to show and critique the exploitation of a women.
Aaron Pierre and AnnaSophia Robb star in a too long for its own good revenge tale that lacks what it needs to justify a 2+ hour runtime.
“The Front Room” starring Brandy is the kind of film that needs to be seen with an audience that will make commentary throughout in order to have the best experience.
“Afraid” compensates for not really tapping into the fear it could have consistently produced by giving you characters who deserve a better horror movie.
Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner star in a violent film where it appears a man is hunting down a woman for reason you’d have to watch the movie to learn why.
Hunter Schafer stars in what can be described as a slightly different horror movie than what usually comes out State side, even if it follows familiar beats.
“I Thought My Husband’s Wife Was Dead,” starring Letoya Luckett starts off complicated and intriguing, but as it has to answer questions, it devolves into your usually over the top and messy drama.
Starring Brittany S. Hall, in this AllBlk release, she finds a potential love in a beautiful man played by Lanre Idewu who, like her, holds secrets that someone wants to use to make one of them into a killer.
Josh Hartnett delivers a notable performance under M. Night Shyamalan’s direction and writing, but while the premise is good, things go downhill once it has to be more than a singular idea.
Naturi Naughton and Tanyell Quian star in “Abducted at an HBCU: A Black Girl Missing Movie,” which explores a fictionalized story of a young woman who gets kidnapped.
Starring actual twins Nicole and Lauren Peters, the two perform in this quick-paced film where actor Shaun Benson plays an intense CEO falling for a lying escort.
Featuring Peyton List, “The Inheritance” delivers a lot of familiar characters, and a well-tread story, but does give a certain creepiness factor.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
