We’re in the “try anything once” phase of Russell Crowe’s career, and he’s wearing it well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2024

The makers of “Land of Bad” mostly reduce their movie’s antagonists to generic obstacles for Kinney, except for a few key scenes that strain to establish why they’re actually the worst.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 16, 2024

Moments presumably conceived to create suspense... merely contribute to its longueurs.

| Feb 15, 2024

Russell Crowe... spends most of the movie sitting in a chair staring at a screen and manages to completely steal it anyway.

| Feb 14, 2024

Once Land of Bad establishes its stakes – one man versus an army – the film settles all too comfortably into war-machine territory, minus any particularly inventive kills or sense of style.

Headlined by a serviceable Liam Hemsworth and a fantastic Russell Crowe in all his hammy scene-stealing glory, it’s the bro-iest bro-fest that ever bro’d—and I say that with far more affection than condescension.
