Speak No Evil (2024) 83% EDIT “A crowd-pleasing remake that packs less hearty of a punch to the gut than its predecessor, even as it indulges in more blockbuster brutality than Tafdrup's.” – Inverse Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Boy Kills World (2023) 58% EDIT “A gloriously juvenile, gruesome action movie that lands a lot of the punches it throws — even if only a few of them hit hard enough to actually leave much of a bruise.” – Inverse Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Land of Bad (2024) 66% EDIT “Land of Bad is a film that would be incredibly easy to love — were it to end 30 minutes before it does.” – Inverse Feb 15, 2024 Full Review Society of the Snow (2023) 90% EDIT “The details all come together in a thriller that is so visceral that watching it may very well be the closest most people will ever come to experiencing its central disaster themselves. ” – Inverse Jan 11, 2024 Full Review The Beekeeper (2024) 71% EDIT “It’s a film that riotously packs in more bee-related puns and punchlines than you’ll be able to see coming. And it’s exactly the kind of silly action thriller that has long been a staple of the January movie season.” – Inverse Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Ferrari (2023) 73% EDIT “A fiery, well-executed addition to Mann’s existing oeuvre.” – Inverse Dec 26, 2023 Full Review It's a Wonderful Knife (2023) 55% EDIT “It’s a film that feels like it began and ended with the creation of its tongue-in-cheek title, but just like how wrapping an empty box with red paper and a bow doesn’t turn it into a gift, a pun alone does not a movie make.” – Inverse Nov 9, 2023 Full Review When Evil Lurks (2023) 96% EDIT “A possession thriller unlike any that you’ve likely seen before... It's one of the boldest, most viscerally intense, and unpredictable horror movies of the year.” – Inverse Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023) 23% EDIT “Its lack of imagination would be disappointing even if it was a standalone film, but it feels even moreso given its source material’s fascination with the ways in which tremendous loss can alter one’s psyche forever.” – Inverse Oct 6, 2023 Full Review 57 Seconds (2023) 13% EDIT “Its clear budgetary constraints and elementary style aside, 57 Seconds falls flat because it’s duller than it should be.” – Inverse Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) 65% EDIT “What Gran Turismo proves is that the worst thing Blomkamp can do isn’t continue to make idea-driven, divisive films, but make movies that feel like they could have been directed by anybody. ” – Inverse Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Heart of Stone (2023) 31% EDIT “Gal Gadot's new thriller is a surprisingly endearing spy romp.” – Inverse Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Bird Box Barcelona (2023) 53% EDIT “Unfortunately, none of Bird Box Barcelona’s twists land as well as its massive first-act misdirect, which sets the film up to be a far more interesting horror thriller than it ultimately becomes.” – Inverse Jul 10, 2023 Full Review Run Rabbit Run (2023) 38% EDIT “Netflix’s new horror original makes the irredeemable sin of wasting Sarah Snook.” – Inverse Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Sisu (2022) 94% EDIT “Once its central conflict has kicked off, the movie is able to hit more than enough beats of explosive, gold-miner-on-Nazi violence to justify its price of admission.” – Inverse Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023) 51% EDIT “Operation Fortune is a perfectly fine mid-budget thriller that aspires to do nothing more than deliver pure, unadulterated entertainment.” – Inverse Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Cocaine Bear (2023) 65% EDIT “A manic, headfirst dive into pure, unadulterated chaos.” – Inverse Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Settlers (2021) 58% EDIT “Wyatt Rockefeller’s slow-burn sci-fi Western will keep you on your toes.” – Inverse Oct 24, 2022 Full Review A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018) 67% 7/10 EDIT “It's to A Futile and Stupid Gesture's credit that it manages to have a widespread appeal, and will likely be an enjoyable viewing experience for both those already interested in the history of comedy and those who may know next-to-nothing about Lampoon.” – IGN Movies Jan 25, 2018 Full Review Father Figures (2017) 17% 4.5/10 EDIT “Father Figures is a baffling film, one that never seems to ever get a handle on what it is or what it wants to be.” – IGN Movies Dec 22, 2017 Full Review Paddington 2 (2017) 99% 8.5/10 EDIT “Not only does it keep the same characters and setting, but maintains the same level of heart and humor to become a truly unforgettable, lovely time at the theater.” – IGN Movies Dec 21, 2017 Full Review Ferdinand (2017) 70% 6/10 EDIT “With a funny set of side characters and a lovably kindhearted lead, Ferdinand finds a way to promote being kind to others without becoming an afterschool special. Granted, it doesn't ever go out of its way to be very unique or surprising.” – IGN Movies Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) 77% 7/10 EDIT “Even if some of its subplots and emotional throughlines don't quite click, the action-packed fun and humor should still make it worth your price of admission.” – IGN Movies Dec 9, 2017 Full Review Wonder (2017) 86% 8/10 EDIT “The characters are all treated with the respect they deserve and the hard work done to turn them into relatable, understandable people pays off in spades.” – IGN Movies Nov 20, 2017 Full Review The Florida Project (2017) 96% 8/10 EDIT “It may not be an easy piece of work to digest at times, but the emotions it's able to conjure will hit you with an unavoidable force.” – IGN Movies Nov 9, 2017 Full Review
