Havoc (2025)
67%
2/5
“Havoc lives up to its namesake - loud, destructive, and chaotic. And with 50% of the film consisting of fight sequences, the underlying story also feels jumbled and tenuous.” –

3/5
“Despite its overly complicated plot, The Accountant 2 bests its predecessor with a shockingly dark, extremely violent, yet lighthearted and surprisingly enjoyable take.” –

On Swift Horses (2024)

2/5
“On Swift Horses feels like it should be more substantive. As it is, to quote Janet Jackson in For Colored Girls, "You're saying a lot without saying nothing at all."” –

2/5
“Only an actor of Viola Davis' caliber could make this shoddily constructed, rudimentarily written green screen dream palatable. Unfortunately, G20 barely satisfies as a frivolous single-use streamer.” –

“The Amateur might have made for an effective political thriller if it weren't for the wholly unappealing lead, his selfish motive, the absence of any tension, and an overly long runtime.” –
