Havoc
Garteh Evans continues to show he’s one of the best at putting action onto the (big?) screen. The brilliance of the long take is shown here in a bloody way. Tom Hardy didn’t even need to carry this because everyone involved is killing it. There is way too much going on and the story is far from the most important thing, but, who cares. 7.3/10
Sacramento
Every moment with Michael Cera on screen is laugh out loud hilarious. Cera and Stewart’s relationship works with some of the best chemistry seen in years. If this could have been a slice of life movie with just them, we might have been in for something special. Instead, we get Michael Angarano inserting himself and bringing us on a weird journey that felt more preachy than anything else. 6.9/10
The Amateur
There are way too many Bourne ripoffs nowadays and this might be the most lackluster of them all. Rami Malek is a leading man in the sense that he is the focal point of the movie, but that’s it. He lacks any charisma, charm, or skill. Having a behind the scenes CIA character try to be the hero with none of the attributes, doesn’t work if there’s never any growth or intrigue throughout. 4.4/10
On Swift Horses
This entire cast is so attractive and talented, typically, that leads to a solid watch. Unfortunately, I was unable to connect. A majority of the movie is told through pillow talk, which made me tired watching it. Too many disjointed stories make up an overall stolen valor of a movie. It is beautiful to look at, but confused what era of story it was supposed to be in. 4.6/10
