Here is a review of the film.
Woody Harrelson in company with Liam Hemsworth shines in this Kieran Darcy-Smith-directed Western-like drama THE DUEL. A revenge thriller sort, the film has not been a critics’ favourite, but the performance of Harrelson as a cult leader has been praiseworthy. In 1846 the Unites States engaged in a bloody war with Mexico over the newly […]
When we look for sci-fi adventure or any of the apocalyptic movies, we tend to expect a lot away from our real life and that makes those interesting and watchable. However, this Michael Peña and Lizzy Caplan starrer Netflix’s sci-fi fantasy thriller Extinction never really capitalizes on an original idea. Extinction follows a family man […]
Well, I am hopeful of the horror genre which is constantly evolving with innovation in story, concept, as well as the overall treatment in filmmaking. Iranian film Under the Shadow is probably the best example on how one filmmaker tries to pass social commentary in terms of women empowerment and repressing tradition, while making not […]
Netflix’s fast-paced driving thriller Wheelman is an entertaining thriller filled with right amount of melodrama and all action on the road. Directed by Jeremy Rush, this film is tense, gritty, and an adventurous ride on the wheel. Plot: A getaway driver takes a job to accompany two robbers to a heist and drive them away […]
David M. Rosenthal-directed and Forest Whitaker starrer Netflix disaster drama How It Ends is neither a good thriller nor a drama. Set during some unknown geological apocalypse, I see the film as a simple road trip by two people who tries to reconnect, leaving aside their past. The film follows an expectant father Will (Theo […]
Mexican production Romina is a slasher film now streaming on Netflix. Directed by Diego Cohen, the film has no story and runs one dimensionally on a simple plot where six friends go for a camping trip and most get killed by one of their school friends. I watched this movie, because it was on Netflix. […]
Ric Roman Waugh’s prison drama Shot Caller is a terrific thriller with not so unique storyline yet has its moments when it takes us through the power centres inside a prison and its far-reaching influence. Well, it is kind of generic when we have seen a good number of prison related movies and series, but […]
This Netflix movie Calibre, starring Jack Lowden and Martin McCann in the lead, introduces us to a hunting expedition in Scotland that goes wrong with a troubling turn of events. Directed by Matt Palmer, the film is dark, gripping and certainly a must-watch. Calibre is the kind of movie that teaches us to face the […]
THE FOREST is an American supernatural horror-thriller film based on the disreputable Japanese suicide forest known as Aokigahara. However, it never delves deep into the story behind the forest but the tale of twin-sister – one of whom is missing in the forest. There are few documentaries on the infamous suicide forest in Japan and […]
The dinosaurs are back with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (Directed by J. A. Bayona), a sequel to the 2015 reboot of the original franchise, with a promise to have a sequel. If we look at the franchise as a whole, this is not the best of the lot; Jurassic World was comparatively much better than […]
