Havoc (2025) 66% 1/5 “The only thing remotely authentic about the Netflix action thriller “Havoc” is its title. It plays havoc with logic and the laws of physics. ” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 52% 2/5 ““On Swift Horses” is a beautifully shot and atmospheric production from director Daniel Minahan that is in some ways reminiscent of Old Hollywood, but its disjointed storylines never quite gel into a satisfying whole.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 77% 3/5 “It’s silly, overlong and shamefully violent, but the playful interchange between these brothers helps “The Accountant 2″ add up to a mildly diverting mess.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Sneaks (2025) 33% 3/5 “While it’s very derivative, “Sneaks” is still a good fit for its target audience of prepubescent kicks lovers.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% 3/5 “Its pacing is very erratic and while this banquet is no feast, a likable cast helps make “The Wedding Banquet” palatable fare.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 66% 3/5 “In racking up the loot, he exposed a number of unsavory things about himself and the 온라인카지노추천 production company. While well-acted and involving, “The Luckiest Man Alive” never quite hits the dramatic jackpot.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Sacramento (2024) 86% 3/5 “One’s reaction to this slim relationship movie will depend largely on your level of patience with these deeply flawed and irresponsible characters. “Sacramento” is one vexing destination.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 60% 4/5 ““The Amateur” is an involving and skillfully made thriller that seems realistic even though it certainly stretches credibility.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 73% 2/5 “You gotta give it points for daring, but this decadent movie is a Quentin Tarantino wannabe that lacks that filmmaker’s sharp dialogue and outlandish touch.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 84% 3/5 ““The Friend” is thoughtful and well-acted but a bit on the gloomy side.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% 2/5 “A director like David Lynch might have made something from this premise, but “Holland” is a destination most folks will want to avoid.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 2/5 “It has a great cast and all the elements of a sharp satire on corporate greed, but “Death of a Unicorn” is a strange mishmash of genres that never quite gels.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 1/5 “The plot holes are the only things more prevalent than bullet holes in “A Working Man,” due largely to Sylvester Stallone’s absurd script.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 28, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 2/5 “It’s visually interesting, but as subtle as a sledgehammer. “The Electric State” is overcharged.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 21, 2025 Full Review The Twister: Caught in the Storm (2025) 4/5 ““The Twister: Caught in the Storm” is an immersive film that skillfully puts the viewer in the center of the chaos.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 66% 2/5 ““Locked” is an off-putting and irritating action flick that seems unsure about what it wants to say.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 3/5 “The visuals are duly spectacular, but this reimagined “Snow White” is missing one vital element: Magic.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 21, 2025 Full Review The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) 88% 2/5 “It’s noisy, frenetic and plays like it was written by a 7-year-old who drank way too many Mountain Dews.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 3/5 “The cast and action set pieces work well, but the gimmick only goes so far. “Novocaine” is a painless distraction.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Rule Breakers (2025) 84% 3/5 “The filmmaking is bland and uninspired, but the story’s general good vibes carry the day.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 4/5 “Want a spy thriller with a little meat on its decadent bones? A first rate cast lights up the screen in Steven Soderbergh’s “Black Bag,” a twisty tale of duplicity. ” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Plankton: The Movie (2025) 71% 2/5 ““Plankton: The Movie” is loud, manic and only occasionally hits those wacky notes of absurdity that SpongeBob fans love. ” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 7, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% 2/5 ““The Rule of Jenny Penn” is an annoying, off-putting and mean-spirited creepfest with little redeeming value. Watch your back grandma!” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 7, 2025 Full Review In the Lost Lands (2025) 24% 2/5 “Granted, it has some impressive action, but the dialogue is laughable and it’s as dull as its muddied cinematography. “In the Lost Lands” is a lost cause.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 59% 3/5 “The violent and decadent humor is hit-and-miss, but for tolerant viewers, “Riff Raff” might just grow on you.” – KKFI-FM (Kansas City) Feb 28, 2025 Full Review
