MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Intense Peril)

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror/Thriller

Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: B.J. Novak
Cast: B.J. Novak, Boyd Holbrook, Ashton Kutcher, Issa Rae, J. Smith-Cameron, Melissa Chambers, Lio Tipton

Flawed but fresh, Novak's feature got me to laugh with him and at him while taking the story seriously and becoming involved in its quirks and twists.

It might be fair to argue that Shephard overreaches but there’s something bracing and fresh about throwing caution to the wind the way she does.

Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, Jessica Henwick, Dhanush, Alfre Woodard, Rege-Jean Page, Julia Butters

The filmmakers do a good enough job of crafting exciting moments but the lack of a compelling storyline keeps the movie from attaining escape velocity.
