Christian Hamaker

It's predictable, too-tidy, and formulaic. But guess what? This Christian film executes said formula well while going beyond its message.

Once again, a Neill Blomkamp landscape is far from pleasant. But the bigger problem is that Chappie fails to generate any kind of enthusiastic...

Toys with its audience the way its characters toy with each other, to the extent audiences are likely to feel betrayed by the innumerable...

After walking the line in terms of rough content, it takes an ugly turn from which it never recovers. We leave not wanting more, but wondering why.

Too much talent involved for it to be excruciating, but there's also nothing in it good enough to recommend.

If the filmmakers could go back in time, they'd streamline a story that bogs down at crucial moments and lays on the exposition at others.

Johnny Depp produced and stars, just as he did with fellow mystifying misfires The Lone Ranger, Dark Shadows and The Rum Diary. Look away.

Has the ingredients, including a name director and star, to be a timely cinematic treatment of cyber attack, but something went wrong.

Jolie's direction is competent and the film feels like a classic Hollywood war movie. What it doesn't feel like is Zamperini’s full tale.

A well-mounted, sometimes engaging but ultimately frustrating production; woe to the movie that isn't sure what it wants to say.

Perhaps it was inevitable the final novel would be cut in two. The result is a talky Part 1 that feels like a stagnant stage setter.

Sequel tries to follow the original with adolescent humor, gross-out gags and politically incorrect ethnic and sexual jokes.

May be Christopher Nolan's most ambitious film yet, but it shows both his best instincts and his worst.

Shelton's breakout film helps us feel compassion rather than contempt for her foolish characters, resulting in a 'feel pretty good' film.

Awkward and misguided prior to an insulting final revelation. Even if all the pieces had come together, it'd still be a downbeat story.

Delivers many of the familiar genre beats of wartime movies, but then goes beyond them, excelling at moments both peaceful and violent.

Goes a long way to indict the CIA and mainstream journalists that did the agency's bidding, but in the end it offers no answers or hope.
