Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 79% 6.5/10 “Looking back, we thought the outcome of Fallout showed a filmmaking team that had cracked the code of the series, hinting at increasing success to come. Instead, we were at the apex and didn’t realize it. It was all downhill from there.” – VitalThrills.com May 19, 2025 Full Review Rule Breakers (2025) 83% 7.5/10 “Rule Breakers is exactly what it says on the tin, a satisfying and uplifting tale of struggle against the forces it seems like we should have left behind by now. ” – Firing the Canon Apr 20, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 47% 6.5/20 “It’s a Marvel film, no more, no less.” – Firing the Canon Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Brave the Dark (2023) 73% 7.5/10 “It’s easy to be cynical about the inspiring melodrama because of its tendency (like the sports film or romantic comedy) to fall into formula and offer little surprise or insight, but that misses the point of the genre.” – Firing the Canon Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 7/10 “There is a solid action thriller buried within Kraven the Hunter‘s heart — it’s easily the best of the Sony non-Spider-Man films so far (it’s a low bar) — and with a little more restraint it could have brought out.” – VitalThrills.com Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Homestead (2024) 45% 7/10 “Ben Smallbone’s Homestead flies in the face of hoary cliches, suggesting even in the darkest hours grace is not a weakness.” – Firing the Canon Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. (2024) 66% 6.50/10 “Give up on the idea of spies or overwrought war film and grab onto the real words somewhat hidden within and Bonhoeffer has its own worthwhile truths to share.” – Firing the Canon Nov 29, 2024 Full Review Effigy: Poison and the City (2019) 100% 7/10 “Why do people do what they do? Don’t expect anyone to ever tell you, or even be able to tell you, especially if they’re a serial killer in a movie. The answer is both obvious and capricious because that’s what people are much of the time. ” – Firing the Canon Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Pratfall (2023) 90% 8/10 “A little bit of John Cassavetes and a little bit of Whit Stilman mixed into a heady New York stew, Alex Andre’s Pratfall feels like an artifact of 80s and 90s independent cinema escaped into the now. ” – Firing the Canon Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 7.5/10 “Gladiator II has its twists and turns and if nothing else a bravura sense of scale only studio epics have ever managed (and only a handful of working directors can do as well) but also a studied refusal to ignore how much of the original it is repeating. ” – Firing the Canon Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/10 “Nothing but random scenes which go nowhere but eat up screen time allowing for a technically feature length film to be attached to the appropriate numeral of related derivations to separate suckers from their money.” – Firing the Canon Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Escape from Extinction Rewilding (2024) 86% 6.5/10 “As Brady’s camera tells us with every lush visage and flowing animal form there is life still out there and where there is life, there is hope.” – Firing the Canon Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% 6/10 “Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis is a grand experiment. A frustrating but enthralling dive into Coppola’s vision of what film (and, by extension, life itself) are, have been and could be.” – VitalThrills.com Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (2024) 82% 7/10 “A dedicated approbation to the work of a local religious community trying to provide families for an epidemic of orphaned children Sound of Hope is one of those elegies that means well even if that means ignoring the rougher portions of their story.” – Firing the Canon Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 4.5/10 “It's a stew no one has bothered to taste even as they throw more and more into it because it doesn’t matter what it tastes like, only what can be put into it.” – Firing the Canon Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Sight (2023) 74% 6.5/10 “Everyone involved knows exactly how to make this film and Sight flows, easily and without trouble.” – Firing the Canon Jul 26, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 7.5/10 “The unbelievability of A Quiet Place’s central conceit hasn’t held the series back the way it could due to focus on characters as much as suspense. Day One takes that even further, pushing its threats to the edge of the screen to better center its humans.” – Firing the Canon Jun 29, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 81% 7/10 “An easy, breezy romantic adventure that makes some passing gestures at the language of film and how it works, and some pointed ones at the role (and appreciation) of stunts within the larger production world, but not much else. ” – Firing the Canon May 6, 2024 Full Review The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) 68% 6.5/10 “There are times we go to the movies to see complex investigations of compelling characters or themes we must spend time with and change us. Then there are times when we just want to see a bunch of evildoers meet grizzly ends because they deserve it.” – Firing the Canon Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% 6.5/10 “Simultaneously kinetic and thrilling, and long and drawn out, Dev Patel’s directorial debut Monkey Man is a study in contrasts, both succeeding wildly and falling short and frequently within the same scene.” – Firing the Canon Apr 6, 2024 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% 5/10 “There are some gloriously disturbing moments that question what reality is for a large number of people.  But it will as quickly turn to another very heavy handed horror film which can’t trust it’s audience to be truly disturbed.” – Firing the Canon Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Cabrini (2024) 90% 7/10 “Small in stature but big in heart and determined with a specific and heartfelt message, Cabrini is a classic studio biopic lionizing its subject and her accomplishments but also reminding us what is due each other as humans. ” – Firing the Canon Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) 54% 5/10 “Brash, loud, obnoxious and occasionally delivering what it promises, Godzilla x Kong throws every idea it has and then some into the blender but still struggles to create realistic stakes or characters to attach to. ” – Firing the Canon Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% 5/10 “Outsized, overdone and ill-conceived, Argylle takes what could have been a fun concept about mistaken identity amid hidden identity into a convoluted mess which consistently undercuts itself.” – Firing the Canon Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Detained (2024) 71% 6/10 “If it didn’t have as good a cast as it does, Detained might fly to pieces under the strain. As it is, Cornish holds sway bouncing with chaotic energy from victim to victor depending on the need of the scene and twists still needing to be revealed.” – Firing the Canon Feb 27, 2024 Full Review
