A nice little thriller to warm you up on the weekend.

| Sep 13, 2019

A well organized thriller that just ratcheted up tension in the right way.

The ending is savage, but the real surprise is in the performance of Butler.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 2, 2019

An intriguing and effective mystery, with some fine performances which help build the suspense. A flat script lets the film down, but there's more than enough to enjoy here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2019

It's a very powerfully performed, intimate piece, perhaps inspired at some level by the classic adventure The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2019

The movie is phenomenally well made and the three actors who fall apart on our watch suffer magnificently.

| Jan 7, 2019

Even with its all-around noble dramatic intent, particularly from Butler, the film struggles to leave a mark.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 4, 2019

Falling between the stools of thriller and drama, this speculative tale grows steadily less satisfying, despite a handsome look and a strong cast headed by Gerard Butler and Peter Mullan.

| Jan 4, 2019

Fine performances and eerie atmospherics enhance this slow burner.

| Jan 3, 2019

There's just something about lighthouses that inspires good psychodrama.

| Jan 3, 2019

While Jorgen Johansson's windswept photography creates a credible sense of isolation (he filmed in part at the Mull of Galloway lighthouse), we sense the ominous rhythms of impending calamity.

| Jan 3, 2019

The Vanishing seems truly troubled by its action violence in a way that many similar thrillers aren't.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 30, 2018
