Spiritual Drama, Romantic Comedy Marry in
The Good Catholic
A religious drama with elements of romantic comedy, this light-on-its-feet tale of spiritual struggle is rarely anguished, even as the story focuses on a priest's crisis of faith. That shouldn't be a problem for viewers caught up in this well told, affecting tale. 4 out of 5.

For Reese and the Rom-Com, It's Hard to Get All the Way
Home Again
A valiant attempt to revive the rom-com, Home Again can't quite seal the deal. With a few good laughs and moderately enjoyable awww moments, Reese Witherspoon's impeccable acting saves this movie from being completely forgettable. 3 out of 5.

Kirk Cameron, Liberty U. Team Up for
Extraordinary
with Commonplace Results
Extraordinary feels like a Christian marriage version of an after-school special. It's pleasant enough if you like that kind of thing, but there's nothing truly extraordinary about this message-heavy movie created and produced by Liberty University's film program. 2 out of 5.

The Jesus Freak
Ends on a Freaky Note
This sometimes painful, if earnest, story of church members trying to save lost souls in Las Vegas has an ending that undoes any goodwill you might be able to muster toward it. 1 out of 5.

Unlocked
Keeps Inspiration in Chains
Who thought this story was worth telling, much less filming? Director Michael Apted has made a career out of crossing genres effectively, from religious dramas to pioneering documentaries. He's also made his share of misfires, but it's hard to think of any Apted effort worse than Unlocked—an uninspired spy "thriller" that uses good actors in the service of a wholly unoriginal story. 1.5 out of 5.

All Saints
Should March into a Viewing of This Uplifting True Story
Artfully blending family-friendly entertainment with deeply personal questions of faith, All Saints not only succeeds as a compelling movie, but also demonstrates what the Church can accomplish when fully invested in a community. 3.5 out of 5.

Leap!
Certainly Takes a Few along the Path to Dream Fulfillment
It's not today's standard animated fare, so it's got that going for it. French-made, Paris-based Leap! takes a Ratatouille-like road on its quest to turn a tweenage orphan into a ballerina. It might have been great if not for our creeping disbelief and some serious at-what-cost questions regarding dream pursuit. The film's in English but something's been lost in translation. 2.5 out of 5.

Logan Lucky
Takes the Caper from the Casino to the Car Track
In this southern-fried heist from acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh, the classic caper gets a Nascar twist. For its engaging dialogue, strong direction and charming ensemble of characters, it merits 3.5 out of 5.

The Hitman's Bodyguard
Has a Lot of Brash Buddy Banter and Bad Words
The Hitman's Bodyguard brings back the Lethal Weapon-style fun buddy movie. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson have great chemistry, making this a wildly entertaining—if wildly profane—night at the movies. 4 out of 5.

The Glass Castle
Has a Few Cracks but a Sturdy Foundation
Feels familiar at times in prompting a heroine to confront her parents' failings, but The Glass Castle also acknowledges an uncomfortable, unshakeable truth: even the most troubled parents "have their moments," and reconciliation brings closure and healing. 4 out of 5.

The Nut Job 2
Will Drive You Nuts
Painfully predictable and disappointingly violent, The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature has little to offer any audience. It's not just a skip; it's a definite skip. 0.5 out of 5.

Charismatic Cast Can't Keep
The Dark Tower
from Collapsing
How do you make actors as charismatic as Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba seem disposable and uninteresting? Director Nikolaj Arcel and a trio of screenwriters Akiva Goldsman find a way to do just that in their adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, a remarkably pedestrian effort that leaves you wondering how a seemingly well-cast film could go so wrong. 1 out of 5.

Story & Style Mesh Perfectly in Emotionally Draining
Detroit
The Oscar buzz has already started and rightfully so. This gripping story feels like a cross between a documentary of days gone by and yesterday's evening news. A visceral retelling of a real-life, 50-year-old tragedy, Detroit keeps us glued to the screen even as it breaks our hearts. 4 out of 5.

Car Chase-Heavy
Kidnap
Also Guilty of Highway Robbery
In this movie about a heroic mom who rescues her son from mysterious, violent kidnappers, we are given little more than anxiety-riddled car chase scenes. For failing to bring anything of cinematic merit to the proverbial table, Kidnap earns a bland 1 out of 5.

The Emoji Movie
: Meh
The best way to describe The Emoji Movie would be with an emoji of the very face its hero aspires to achieve: meh. So many good animated features have come along in recent years. This offering from Sony Animation is not one of them. Despite a big-name cast and little life lessons, Emoji inexplicably lacks emotion. 2 out of 5.

Atomic Blonde
Goes More Dull Yellow Than Platinum
The co-director of one of the most stylishly violent action movies of recent years and the star of another contender for that honor combine for a graphic-novel adaptation that sputters badly in the story department. Relying on lots of lurid violence and sex to compensate for a choppy narrative, Atomic Blonde is driven by sound and fury, signifying not much. 1 out of 5.

An Inconvenient Sequel
is Both Challenged & Challenging
Sure to inspire some and be scorned by others, Al Gore's latest offering is an updated look into the world of climate science, global politics, and one man's struggle to make a difference. For filmmaking neither particularly stunning nor shabby, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power earns 2.5 out of 5.

The Miracles of
Dunkirk
are in the Facts More Than the Film
An homage to the quiet bravery of ordinary people, this view of a remarkable real-life event is more survival adventure than war movie. Dunkirk assaults the senses but only occasionally tugs at the heartstrings. It's appealing without being epic, admirable but not quite amazing. 3.5 out of 5.

Valerian
: A Beautiful Mess is Still a Mess
Visually spectacular but dramatically incoherent, Valerian commits one of the worst cinematic sins: a story so convoluted that the film, filled with striking imagery, grows boring for long stretches of time. When you're not staring at the beautiful, otherworldly compositions, expect instead to be staring at your watch. 2.5 out of 5.

No One to Root for in This
War for the Planet of the Apes
Long and unnecessarily drawn-out, War for the Planet of the Apes is getting a lot of hype from secular critics, but there is very little here for a Christian audience to appreciate. Unless you can handle extreme amounts of violence and blood or are a devoted fan of the franchise, sit this one out. 2 out of 5.
