Movie Reviews Archives

Brother-sister reconciliation story goes to some dark places, and doesn't allow viewers to laugh all of them off.

The pacing is sluggish, the storytelling predictable. Compared to the original, it's pretty inferior in the inspiration department, too.

Could more accurately be referred to as "The Letdown," and a big one at that. Only manages a small burst of energy before fizzling out.

The timing couldn’t be worse for a thriller full of violence against women. But it probably wouldn't have made much difference anyway.

Most of the movie feels un-scary, unsure of its theology, inconsistent in its methods, but there are a few nuggets of subtle quality.

Rather than follow a predictable trajectory of rebellion during the dawn of rock, it takes a refreshing track of spiritual exploration.

After a promising start, the story lets Wright down in the end by losing the human-interest angle and growing less fascinating visually.

Plenty of car chases, moral ambiguity and a serious body count, but this loose adaptation of There Are No Spies falls into no man’s land.

As well-made a faith-based movie as you're likely to see, with the professional polish you'd expect from a studio-backed film like this.

Nowhere near as intriguing as the novel it's based upon. In fact it feels more like "Touched by an Angel: Teen Edition."

Plays like an inside joke, offering moments of diversion and offbeat humor but never amounting to anything more than a curiosity.

Tries to cram four stories into just over 90 minutes. Star-studded and easy on the eyes, but lacks a method to its shock-jock madness.

A parent-friendly thriller that allows a young audience to think about complex ideas and core human values for the first time.

On the rom-com scale, scores fair on chemistry between leads, poor on script. Too bad in a sex-free film where marriage is a noble goal.

With fun nods to pop culture and sci-fi classics, it’s a fast-paced, high-action story that takes no prisoners.
