A Working Man (2025)
49%
3/5
“For action-movie fans who rely on Statham (and Neeson and Gerard Butler) for an explosive movie fix, A Working Man might be enough. But this isn't Statham or Ayer's flash-bang best.” –

William Tell (2024)
56%
3/5
“To its credit, William Tell finds room for noble sentiments amid rousing action sequences like the storming of castles. And there are no less than three fully realized female supporting roles.” –

Notes from Sheepland (2023)
100%
4/5
“Notes From Sheepland weaves together two tales -- the connection between people and animals, and our casual heartlessness toward them, and a struggle to make sense of it.” –

Cuckoo (2024)

“Despite a few shameless jump-scares, it's this season's unexpected interloper -- a sophisticated, entertaining horror film with an offbeat sense of humour. ” –

Trap (2024)

4/5
“Shyamalan exercises hard-handed control over everything without the virtuoso touches of his betters. He’s an effortful auteur, and the pleasant Trap springs some shivery fun on its own audience.” –

Sorcery (2023)
86%
3/5
“[Sorcery] sticks to a deliberate, even slack pace. Its real power, though, is Veliz Caileo’s quietly forceful performance. When the film’s shapeshifting mystery get murky, this young performer remains compelling.” –

I.S.S. (2023)
61%
4/5
“Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish) and screenwriter Nick Shafir nimbly sketch out the station’s cramped layout and the possibly false bonhomie among the crew, turning I.S.S. into a taut sci-fi take on Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat. ” –
