A standard-order revenge thriller – an okay action film with a lugubrious first half that perks up considerably past the one-hour mark.

There is nothing to disabuse notions that this is an effective bonding opportunity for parents and young children with a healthy side order of nostalgia.

In large part because of a great beginning and a solid ending, this is one of the better entries into the series.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: James Madigan
Cast: Josh Hartnett, Charithra Chandran, Julian Kostov, Katee Sackhoff

There are a few standout moments but there are also a few too many scenes when the movie goes on auto-pilot as if it is reluctant to get really crazy.

Run Time: 1:35
U.S. Release Date: 2025-04-11
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Christopher Landon
Cast: Meghann Fahy, Brandon Sklenar, Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond

Starts out with Hitchcockian flair and rides a dizzying wave of anxiety-based mystery until, like far too many underwritten thrillers, it falls apart.

For anyone whose primary concern is to see the righteous slaughter of bad guys at the hands of the noble Statham, "A Working Man" does not disappoint.

Run Time: 2:03
U.S. Release Date: 2025-03-21
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Robert De Niro, Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis, Kathrine Narducci, Michael Rispoli

There is a sense that a pairing of director Barry Levinson and actor Robert De Niro working with a Nicolas Pileggi script should have borne juicer fruits.

Disposable entertainment that will put some spare change in the Disney coffers while never coming close to replacing its venerable antecedent in the hearts of viewers.

Run Time: 1:35

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)

Even though this haunted-house-on-an-alien-planet movie is highly derivative, it is enjoyable for precisely that reason.

There are times when "Novocaine" is a blast, but then there are the instances when it falls into the trap of believing the action scenes are more exciting than they actually are.
