Movie Reviews

A story about what happens to a person who wildly overestimates his own abilities.

“The Man Who Saves the World?” is a quest, and sometimes a mad one.

Some of it feels rushed and repetitive, but there’s a reasonable amount of ambition to admire here, especially compared to other streaming original films for the family.

The irrepressible tone of mordant giggliness this movie hits so often is entirely its own, keeping the movie buoyant.

Not nearly the game-changer it claims to be, leaving viewers with more questions than answers.

It’s a messy movie in a way that produces frustration instead of fear, and its nods to commentary on gender roles and the need to become and stay beautiful feel shallow and insincere.

The concept and the main character have a lot of potential, but they are overwhelmed by a cluttered storyline..

It’s all familiar spy-genre stuff, but it’s depicted in solid fashion. 

“Truth & Treason” is a staid drama whose observations about Helmuth could easily be summed up in a quick encyclopedic blurb.

“Black Phone 2” is messed up in ways that big-budget movies from major studios are rarely allowed to be.
