Zack Snyder’s Justice League

We see a lineup of the six superheroes in Justice League.

It’s bloodier. More profane. Its quasi-spirituality can be perplexing. And then there’s this: It’s just a darker movie.

Cherry

A solider sits and talks on the phone.

Whatever purpose it has, and however well it might be crafted, Cherry makes for a miserable viewing experience.

Crisis

A man and a woman sit in an office.

If you tossed aside all of this movie’s f-words, Crisis’ cautionary message could have cruised into PG-13 territory.

Moxie

Much like how Moxie the zine makes many mistakes in its protests, so does Moxie the film.

Coming 2 America

Two royals (one played by Eddie Murphy) dress in traditional cultural garb.

Is this belated sequel fit for a 13-year-old to watch, much less watch alone? I think not.

The Mauritanian

A female lawyer talks with her client across a table in a prison.

The Mauritanian is a dramatic story of U.S. governmental overreach, a tale of abuse and injustice.

The Last Vermeer

We see at man at an easel painting.

The movie’s version of Han van Meegeren seems to like to shock people. And, years after his own death, he still just might.

Silk Road

An FBI agent looks at a huge roll of cash.

With f-words hitting triple digits, the brutal, incessant vulgarity here is the real deal-killer along the Silk Road.
