Striking Rescue (2024) A “This is an incredibly fun martial arts action movie, fronted by an all-time great working at the top of his game, and one genre fans need to track down. The beauty of Tony Jaa flying across a room to elbow a dude in the skull cannot be overstated.” – The Last Thing I See Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Demon City (2025) 50% C+ “Does 'Demon City' have much in the way of nuance, depth, or character development? No. It’s extremely sparse on those fronts. What it does have, however, are plenty of bonkers, bloody fight scenes and awesome action choreography.” – The Last Thing I See Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 50% C “Not bad, but not memorable in any way.” – The Last Thing I See Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Jade (2024) C- “There's a definite idea propelling Jade, but it never coheres into anything meaningful. Even the too-infrequent action scenes can't pull this out of the doldrums.” – The Last Thing I See Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 28% C- “This feels like a blank space of 114 minutes in my brain.” – The Last Thing I See Jan 17, 2025 Full Review The Prosecutor (2024) 93% B- “Often weighed down by tepid legal melodrama, when The Prosecutor lets Donnie Yen do what he does best, it is, understandably, fantastic.” – The Last Thing I See Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “For all there is to appreciate, Nosferatu fails to move the needle or elicit much of any reaction beyond a shrug.” – The Last Thing I See Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Lake George (2024) 96% B “Playful, quirky, and blackly comic on occasion.” – The Last Thing I See Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Armor (2024) 0% D “The film starts out lackluster and ends dreary and dire.” – The Last Thing I See Nov 20, 2024 Full Review 100 Yards (2023) 80% A- “An intricate exploration of rivalry, social change, the weight of tradition and expectation, and much more, all wrapped in top-tier martial arts choreography. ” – The Last Thing I See Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Elevation (2024) 55% B- “If any movie has ever been just kind of fine, it's Elevation. It gets right in, does its business, and wraps things up in less than 90 minutes.” – The Last Thing I See Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse (2024) 89% B “A flawed but ambitious post-apocalyptic tale with a distinct point of view and plenty of gore and brutality.” – The Last Thing I See Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Falling Stars (2023) 83% C “There’s so much to admire and appreciate here, but Falling Stars ultimately leaves me cold.” – The Last Thing I See Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Azrael (2024) 71% B “Samara Weaving wielding a machete, covered in blood, never uttering a word? From the director of 'Cheap Thrills' and the writer of 'The Guest'? Yeah, I'm in.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 27, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% A “This feels like one of those movies that has the potential to become a generational touchstone. It’s lovely and earnest, deeply emotional, and achingly bittersweet.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Ghost Killer (2024) 100% A- “There’s top-notch action from all players, fun comedy beats to lighten up the mood, and an undercurrent of earnest sweetness you don’t often find in movies about murder and vengeance.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 26, 2024 Full Review The Draft! (2023) 87% B+ “You’ve seen “we’re in a horror movie” movies before, but what about a “we’re in a draft of a horror movie script” movie?” – The Last Thing I See Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Out Come the Wolves (2024) 63% B “This doesn’t do anything particularly surprising or unexpected, but it delivers a taught, effective, woman-versus-nature survival thriller. It’s exciting, harrowing, and there’s a decent amount of gnarly, visceral gore.” – The Last Thing I See Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% “We’ve got xenomorphs, we’ve got face-huggers, there’s a chest-burster, corporate malfeasance, capitalistic overreach, acid blood, synthetics up to no good, and all the expected bells and baubles.” – The Last Thing I See Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% “Sad and strange, scary and sweet, Cuckoo winds up part fish-out-of-water creature feature, part detective yarn with a central mystery to unravel, as well as a meditation on grief. It defies easy classification, but it’s an odd, ambitious horror story.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Bookworm (2024) 91% “Bookworm is ultimately a cute, heartfelt, if a bit slight, tale of connection and reconciliation. It’s a warm hug, a well-meaning cup of hot cocoa that just makes you feel good. ” – The Last Thing I See Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Chainsaws Were Singing (2024) 81% “Maran’s enthusiasm is palpable and the result is boisterous, unhinged mania.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 25, 2024 Full Review The A-Frame (2024) 77% “The A-Frame takes some big, wild swings, and though they don’t always connect, it’s a compelling watch and there’s a lot to recommend. And it's occasionally quite gooey.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Carnage for Christmas (2024) 90% B+ “A bloody, fun yuletide romp that’s definitely going into my regular holiday horror rotation. ” – The Last Thing I See Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 89% A “High-energy, face-punching, neck-stabbing violence with enough emotional kick to suck the air out of your lungs from time to time. You know, the sweet stuff action fans crave.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 3, 2024 Full Review
