A more melancholic and weepy version of Me Before You in the lower middle class. Javier Bardem is excellent, there are some great ideas and some interesting dialogue, but it's primarily the strength of the premise and its existential overtones than how it's executed. The love triangle was like something cut out of a…

A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

A tribute to a difficult profession, which it's a shame doesn't have its own category at the Oscars. Fall Guy is certainly not popcorn for everyone, which is why it will have a difficult time with high box office and general acceptance. For the average viewer, it's far too loaded with references, innuendo and props…

Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

I've had long-standing issues with the acting performances of both main actors, with Kim Basinger's being significantly more pronounced. However, I must admit that in this film, they acted decently, and there was even a certain chemistry between them. As a remake, it's fully functional, a good film that didn't…

Friend Request is the surprise of the year for me, surpassing both The Conjuring 2 and Lights Out combined, and is also the best representative of the cyber-internet genre. It's a great pity it didn't go to the cinema instead of the naive Unfriended, because everything works here. Superb atmosphere, heart attack…

Korea's hit of the year and the best zombie movie of the year. Train to Busan is really a mix of two excellent movies, World War Z and Snowpiercer, where my only problem is that the Koreans didn't go for brutality, because they are the only ones in the world who have no problem cramming violence into their movies in a…

France again on top in the best comedy of the year!! I liked the Five from the very first minute, where the film introduces us to the five protagonist, a well-chosen line-up where everyone excels in something, there’s a black guy who constantly fucks women, a hot chick, a guy suffering from phobias, a stoner, and a…

While Ladyhawke may not reach the heights of the genre, its strong cast makes it a decent, above-average film. The dark medieval atmosphere and deliberately provocative color stylization, with good depicted in black and evil in white, make this film an interesting piece. Regardless, the story works, and the film doesn…
