In the grimy, rain-soaked underbelly of London, where hope goes to die a slow death, we find "Harry Brown" (2009), a film that promises a gritty, no-holds-barred exploration of vigilantism and despair. With Michael Caine donning the mantle of our titular anti-hero, one might be forgiven for expecting a thrilling ride through the mean streets, à la "Batman" meets "Death Wish." Alas, the reality is as disappointing as finding out your favorite superhero is secretly a vegan.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is a cinematic triumph that showcases the unparalleled talents of Martin Scorsese, who co-wrote and directed this ambitious film released in 2023.

As I settled in to watch Small Things Like These, I was ready to be enveloped in a poignant narrative set against the backdrop of 1980s Ireland. The film’s premise, delving into the deeply troubling history of the Magdalene Laundries, along with a stellar cast led by the immensely talented Cillian Murphy, had me eager for an emotionally resonant experience.

As a professional assassin's retirement goes south thanks to an injured young woman, I walked into this film with trepidation, hoping to see a riveting tale unfold. What I received instead felt like a poorly executed school project, showcasing huge gaps in the storyline and timelines so inconsistent they rival the plot twists in a daytime soap opera.

I recently sat down to watch Mary, the 2024 epic biblical film directed by D. J. Caruso and penned by Timothy Michael Hayes. Featuring the likes of Noa Cohen, who takes on the titular role, and Anthony Hopkins as the ever-manic Herod, I was intrigued by the premise.

As a legal thriller directed by the legendary Clint Eastwood, Juror No. 2 initially led me to expect a familiar courtroom drama.
