The Accountant 2 (2025) 76% 4/5 “Very few action films these days focus on characterisation like The Accountant 2. Yes, it is has some amazing sequences but also contains touching moments and a red hot crime storyline.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 3.5/5 “People often say there is nothing new and unique in cinema. This movie proves that wrong - part comedy, part horror. Somehow it all comes together and will have you laughing out loud while also delivering a powerful message.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 21, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% 5/5 “One of the most realistic war films you will ever see - not only visually but with a soundscape that total immerses its audience.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Correspondent (2024) 4/5 “Richard Roxburgh shines in a film that sees Kriv Stenders raise the suspense time and time again through the use of drama rather action sequences.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 20, 2025 Full Review Den of Thieves (2018) 42% 3.5/5 “A very well-written crime thriller that keeps the action to the fore but doesn't forget how important an intense a plot is as well. Butler is amazing in a role that he was born to play.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3.5/5 “This well written thriller is a lot better than the premise would suggest. Claustrophobic and intense the brilliant screenplay is brought to life by even better acting performances.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 3/5 “Coogler finds the perfect way to mix genres with ease while creating a film that is not only an ode to blues music but to exploitation cinema as well.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 17, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% 2.5/5 “While adults will get a laugh here and there throughout much of the action and humour here is aimed at the younger audience members. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing – especially if you are looking for a way to entertain the kids for a while.” – Subculture Entertainment Apr 13, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 3.5/5 “It is great to see Soderbergh take the plunge and try to do something different in the supernatural genre. The film does leave some questions that should have been answered but the creativity more than makes up for that.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Silent Zone (2025) 3.5/5 “If you like zombie films you certainly aren't going to be disappointed. But the big takeaway is that Peter Deak is a filmmaker to watch in the future and Matt Devere is ready to take the lead in a Hollywood blockbuster.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 22, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 5/5 “A near perfect biopic. The screenplay gives a great insight into the early career of Bob Dylan and doesn't overlook the darker aspects. Timothee Chalamet is brilliant as Dylan while Boyd Holbrook almost steals the show as Johnny Cash.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% 4/5 “It is rare that a film so far into a franchise still manages to have audiences feeling for characters let alone surprising them with events. But this is what happens here with a film that is arguably the best in the franchise.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 2.5/5 “Mickey 17 is a watchable film due to the performance of Pattinson who is brilliant here. The screenplay itself seems to lose its way as it focuses on trying to get a laugh rather than on the important themes that the film should be focussing on” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Raw (2016) 93% 4/5 “Raw is one of those horror films that really sticks with you. Not because it plants a horrific imprint on your brain but because it is a genre film with a real arthouse feel that further enhances the film. ” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Paterson (2016) 96% 3/5 “If you go into Paterson expecting a high-octane film, then you will be sorely disappointed. Instead, once again Jim Jarmusch has created an interesting film that is largely a character study of two everyday people. ” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Jojo Rabbit (2019) 80% 4/5 “The film does have the power to make you laugh and cry. At times it may not be easy to watch but at the end of the day this is a film so powerful that it deserves to be mentioned alongside great Holocaust films such as Schindler’s List.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Jason Bourne (2016) 55% 3/5 “While ‘Jason Bourne’ doesn’t exactly set the world on fire or bring anything new to the action genre it is a serviceable film that certainly won’t bore its audience.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review It (2017) 85% 4/5 “Andy Muschietti has delivered one spectacular horror film with It. The harshness of the horror will keep fans happy while the characterisation and coming-of-age storyline is a welcome change to what could have been. ” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) 29% 2/5 “With a dreadful screenplay and nothing new when it comes to special effects ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ ends up being one of the biggest disappointments of 2016. ” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Guns Akimbo (2019) 53% 4/5 “If you like your action flicks a little left of centre and bordering on the gruesome then Guns Akimbo is the film for you. The fresh creative nature of the film shows why Jason Lei Howden is a director who can potentially breathe creativity into the genre” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Girls Trip (2017) 91% 3/5 “It does have a little issue with its comedic tone but for the most part this is a film that works pretty well. There are moments that will make you chuckle and there is enough heart to win over any audience.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) 87% 3/5 “Maybe I didn’t find Florence Foster Jenkins as funny as some of the other people screening that I was in but I still found it a heartfelt film that grows on you the longer it goes on.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review The Finest Hours (2016) 63% 4/5 “This is a far superior film to something like The Perfect Storm… yes Craig Gillespie has somehow managed to create a classy disaster flick that demands a viewing by serious film lovers.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review The Dark Tower (2017) 16% 3/5 “The Dark Tower isn't the mess that everybody is saying that it is. With its dark storyline that doesn’t hold back to spare the audience’s emotions and great special effects, this is just one of those supernatural thrillers that you can sit back and enjoy.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Daddy's Home (2015) 30% 2.5/5 “The film seems to work best when it forgets about trying to be funny and instead goes for more touching scenes, like a step-Dad trying his best with his kids, but also falls on its face when it tries to ‘show-up’ other films.” – Subculture Entertainment Mar 10, 2025 Full Review
