The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025)

3.5/4
““The Ballad of Wallis Island” is a superb little sleeper that may not be on your moviegoing radar. It’s the kind of film I love to champion; that is, the small, effective character study that deserves your attention.” –

The Amateur (2025)

2/4
“For all the scenes set in spy movie locales like Paris and Romania, “The Amateur” is a rather dull affair. Director James Hawes can’t stage an effective action sequence; you rarely get a good idea of the geography of a scene.” –

“I’ve said this whenever I’ve reviewed a Jason Statham movie: I find him more interesting in his non-action scenes than when he’s blowing bad guys to smithereens. This film is no different.” –

“When we’re not being fed warmed-over narration and editing tricks that remind us of the Scorsese-directed examples, we’re trapped with a visibly disinterested De Niro. He barely gives one performance, let alone two.” –

“It’s like watching the Black Knight get dismembered in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” except that was funny and the gag didn’t run nearly two hours. To my surprise, I was bored by the gruesome and repetitive carnage.” –

““Jurassic Park” writer David Koepp’s twisty screenplay keeps us guessing while director Steven Soderbergh propels the plot through a crisp and refreshing 93-minute runtime. There’s not an ounce of fat on this movie, even if most of it is just talk.” –

“The film wisely clocks in at just over 90 minutes, giving a sense of urgency that serves the story well. The watery recreations are well done; If you fear drowning as much as I do, these scenes will be even more effective.” –
