False Positive
Even though it doesn’t ultimately work, this is entertaining and suspenseful, with an intriguing take on its subject matter.

Good on Paper
When I think of its pieces, Good on Paper seems like an easy recommendation. Yet the whole isn’t as good as the sum of its best parts.

Luca
While it certainly belongs on the lower end of the studio’s filmography, it is still amusing and generally enjoyable.

Plan B
It is sweet and funny, with a charming central relationship and a message it delivers organically.

Army of the Dead
The result is uneven, but generally fun. If you can tolerate Snyder’s trademarks, you will probably enjoy yourself.

Those Who Wish Me Dead
There is little in the way of creativity or passion. However, Jolie is good enough to carry the movie. I wish she had been allowed to.

Monster
It keeps the viewer at arm’s length, making this an occasionally interesting exercise, rather than a compelling exploration of this material
