The first movie does a better job of everything this one does rendering the second installment redundant – painless but purposeless.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Matthew Ross
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Ana Ularu, Pasha D. Lychnikoff, Eugene Lipinski, Molly Ringwald
Despite drawbacks related to the casting of Keanu Reeves, "Siberia" is well-paced, offers instances of tension, and doesn’t cheat at the end.

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content, Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Jason Saltiel
Cast: Willa Fitzgerald, Murray Bartlett, Orlagh Cassidy, Tom Hammond
Between the solid beginning and the great ending, there’s a long, unremarkable stretch enlivened only by the efforts of the actors and the lens of the cinematographer.

Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Drew Pearce
Cast: Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Charlie Day, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Jeff Goldblum, Zachary Quinto
With its flashy action sequences and Tarantino-wannabe vibe, the movie tries hard to be hip and edgy but ends up simply being uneven.

Poorly constructed endings can leave an unpleasant aftertaste even for movies that are otherwise mostly solid. That’s the case here.

Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Leigh Whannell
Cast: Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Hardie, Betty Gabriel, Richard Cawthorne, Harrison Gilbertson, Melanie Vallejo, Simon Maiden
Like all B-movies, this one provides moments of visceral satisfaction while ignoring nuance and (at times) logic.

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Brief Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Maria Allred
Cast: Julie Webb, Maria Allred, Benjamin Farmer, Patrick D. Green, Donny Persons, Damien Genardi
As beguiling as it is frustrating, with a fascination for the visual style compensating for a difficult-to-navigate storyline.

MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Drama
Director: Cecil B. DeMille
Cast: Charlton Heston, James Stewart, Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Dorothy Lamour, Gloria Grahame, Lawrence Tierney, Bob Carson
Not a bad movie but the passage of time hasn’t been kind to it. The things that made it popular upon its release either don’t apply or don’t work for a 2018 audience.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-05-11
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Vaughn Stein
Cast: Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg, Mike Myers, Max Irons, Dexter Fletcher
The strength of the stylistic elements and Robbie’s performance aren’t sufficient to overcome the deficiencies of an initially derivative and ultimately off-kilter narrative.
