Cruella
Folks familiar with the 1961 animated version, who understand the 1970’s aesthetic, the character based on David Bowie, and are primed to absorb the best soundtrack attached to any live action Disney film from the modern era will appreciate Disney making a film for those of us with at least a few decades under our belts instead of just one.

Final Account
These were not the Holocaust architects. These were the flunkies, villagers, farmers, and push-overs who went along with it. At such advanced ages and with such shaded memories, director Luke Holland wants to know if they continue to deny what happened, paper over their roles, explain it away, or perhaps continue to champion what they did.

Profile
Director Timur Bekmambetov’s cinematic ideas are suspect. On one hand, we can all respect the idea of a weaving loom listing out assassination targets and the circular bullet shot in Wanted and perhaps one of the top five movie titles in history, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. On the other hand, Bekmambetov remade Ben-Hur. Get this man a beer and a bar napkin.

Wrath of Man
Any director adept with action could tackle Wrath of Man. Guy Ritchie may have found a special connection to the material and dreamed up an innovative way to bring it to life, but the world needs him on The Gentlemen, it needs him on Snatch. Let a lesser talent pick the lower-hanging fruit.

The Boy from Medellín
The Boy from Medellín is more than a concert film, but its focus on the upcoming show and persistent attempts to show ‘a day in the life’ of J Balvin stiff-arm what would have been the meat and potatoes of a typical Heineman documentary, the unrest in the streets.

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse
The latest reboot of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan universe is far more blood splatter and head shots than fans of his novels are used to, but Michael B. Jordan's John Kelly is a fresh protagonist to push forward what used to be a Vietnam story into our times

Mortal Kombat
What doesn’t work, and what audiences familiar with the material are going to be sore about, are a tournament ignored, a foundation shunted aside, and shoddy filmmaking toward characters who could really pop off the screen and carry a successful franchise if only a studio would ever take it seriously.

Nobody
Nobody is not as gimmicky as Hardcore Henry nor as unrelenting as John Wick. It takes time for Hutch to spin up, but when he does, it’s against a hand-full of Russian mobsters (who else) on a confined city bus. This middle-aged, tired, khaki-wearing nothing of a man looks at the young punks and says, “I’m gonna f*** you up.” This line is going to be 2021's "Are you talking to me?" or "Do you feel lucky punk?"

City of Lies
City of Lies is outstanding at provoking outrage and an urgent sense of anger at the LAPD. However, the dialogue is so coarsely written and shoddily edited together, this should not be the final work on trying to piece together how and why Death Row Records corrupted LAPD cops to allegedly murder Biggie Smalls.

The Courier
The film's strongest attribute is not its cat and mouse tradecraft games nor its Cold War intrigue, but two men wired to distrust each other, a Brit and a Soviet, sharing smokes and vodka - glimpsing a world beyond political rhetoric and recognizing their shared humanity.

Coming 2 America
Everyone wants another Prince Akeem Queens and Zamunda experience. None of us should be remotely surprised or even concerned that the result is more like a knock-off from the McDowell’s menu instead of the real thing.

Chaos Walking
Director Doug Liman uses action/adventure genre conventions to examine the society and mental fault lines created by being able to hear and even see everybody’s thoughts. An original and intriguing premise hamstrung by one-dimensional characters and cat and mouse chases instead of exploration.
