Another Simple Favor, the 2025 sequel to the 2018 black comedy mystery A Simple Favor, resurfaces under the direction of Paul Feig. This follow-up plunges viewers back into a sumptuous world of cunning women, crisscrossing loyalties, and a labyrinthine plot swirling with crime, family secrets, and bizarre twists.

A Simple Favor, a 2018 American black comedy mystery film directed by Paul Feig and written by Jessica Sharzer, boldly ventures into the murky waters of noir and dark humor, yet finds itself struggling to anchor its identity. Admittedly, I wasn't even aware this movie existed until the sequel, Another Simple Favor, was released in 2025. Intrigued by the premise of the follow-up and drawn in by the presence of the charismatic duo Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively reprising their roles, I felt compelled to watch the original first. Based on Darcey Bell’s 2017 novel, the film promises a cocktail of suspense, secrets, and twisted relationships set against the seemingly mundane backdrop of small-town Connecticut. While initially captivating with its dark humor and intriguing premise, the film gradually falters under its own labyrinthine plot and tonal inconsistencies, leaving audiences perplexed as to whether they are watching a quirky comedy, a noir thriller, or a diluted Gone Girl without the visual flair.

The Accountant 2, released in 2025 and directed by Gavin O’Connor, arrived with high expectations as a follow-up to the cult-favorite 2016 thriller The Accountant. Continuing the unconventional story of Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant moonlighting as a lethal operator for criminal enterprises, this sequel tries to expand the universe by delving into human trafficking and government conspiracies. The Accountant 2 aims to blend intense action with layered mystery and emotional stakes. However, despite a promising premise and returning cast, the film struggles to recapture the tone and complexity that made its predecessor distinct, instead veering into inconsistent genre-mixing and diminished character depth.

Directed by Gavin O’Connor and featuring a screenplay by Bill Dubuque, The Accountant (2016) melds action thriller motifs with a psychologically complex protagonist portrayed by Ben Affleck. The film boasts a notable ensemble including Anna Kendrick, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Jeffrey Tambor, and John Lithgow. Centered on Christian Wolff, an autistic forensic accountant who operates in the shadowy corridors where finance intersects organized crime, the movie offers a mixture of crime procedural, familial drama, and action thriller elements that elicit both engagement and critical reflection.

When I first learned about Adolescence, a four-episode British miniseries released by Netflix on March 13, 2025, I anticipated a serious examination of contemporary youth issues, particularly those surrounding toxic masculinity, incel culture, and social media influence. With a talented creative team led by co-creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham—who also stars—the series promised an intense, immersive viewing experience. The compelling premise of following a teenage boy accused of murder, filmed entirely in single continuous takes, heightened my expectations regarding technical mastery and emotional depth. Knowing Graham’s previous work in Boiling Point, I was prepared for a raw, visceral journey that would challenge and disturb but also enlighten.

In the riveting independent biographical drama The Apprentice, directed by Ali Abbasi and co-distributed by Briarcliff Entertainment, viewers are drawn into a meticulous examination of Donald Trump's early career as a real estate mogul in 1970s New York City. This film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and is a co-production across multiple countries, explores Trump’s complex relationship with the notorious attorney Roy Cohn. By shining a spotlight on their morally ambiguous partnership, The Apprentice delves into themes of ambition, morality, and the very fabric of success, prompting audiences to ponder over the integrity behind the American dream.

In the bustling cinematic world of Hong Kong, where triad films emerge as frequently as news broadcasts, Wong Jing's "A True Mob Story," starring the indomitable Andy Lau, attempts to carve its niche. With the film's ambitious title promising an unprecedented glimpse into organized crime, one might expect a groundbreaking narrative. Instead, what unfolds feels more like a repetitive performance from the annals of triad cinema. The film's central themes are loyalty, betrayal, and redemption—territories as familiar as weary travelers on a well-worn path. Yet, thanks to Andy Lau's magnetic portrayal of Wai Kat-cheung, the film manages to breathe some life into its well-trodden journey.

When I stumbled upon the 2024 action flick "Aftermath," directed by Patrick Lussier and starring Mason Gooding, Dylan Sprouse, Megan Stott, and Dichen Lachman, I braced myself for a thrill ride filled with suspense and explosive action. Instead, what I got was a front-row seat to a demolition derby of filmmaking: a spectacular collision of bad scriptwriting, painful performances, and puzzling plot choices that could run circles around any B-movie cache.

Welcome to the world of "Alarum," a 2025 American action crime thriller that apparently tried to be edgy but feels more like a desperate cry for help. You know what they say—nothing screams creativity like two spies deciding to go rogue so they can, wait for it, get married. Honestly, that’s basically the plot of every romantic comedy, minus the charm and any semblance of coherent storytelling.
