2/5
“While it may possibly appeal to hardcore fans, this was a miss for me as there simply was not enough creature action to counter-balance having to sit through the human characters and plodding plot to get to the good stuff.” –

Shazam! (2019)

3.5/5
“Levi is very energetic in the part and goes all in and he does a great job of conveying a kid in a man's body. The biggest issue with the film is that there is mostly a lot of humor aimed at a much younger audience and large gaps with minimal action.” –

Cold Pursuit (2019)

3/5
“The film is not what you expect as although there is plenty of action at times; it is a Dark Comedy with dramatic elements. It is more in line of what you might expect at a Film Festival from an Indie studio versus a major studio release.” –
