Sicario
Sicario asks us questions of morality: How far is too far? To fight such monstrous evil, is it necessary to become evil ourselves?
Captive
Families may feel the film depicts more of Ashley’s and Brian’s sinfulness than they want to see. But this difficult and dark tale is clearly shown to be a radically redemptive one.
Black Mass
Such a detailed and explicit portrait of one man’s violent life arguably glorifies the brutality as much as (or even more than) it critiques it.
The Perfect Guy
An utterly predictable, content-crazed PG-13 suspense story that mingles creepy and explicit sexual content with sharp moments of vicious violence.
The Visit
Before you know it, the zest of an original perspective explodes against the screen in predictably wincing and foul and violent ways.
The Transporter Refueled
The Transporter Refueled is more—which means less—than a piece of silly, late-summer theater filler. It’s a loathsome exercise in rationalization.
A Walk in the Woods
Nature can even feel like church sometimes, with birds supplying the worship music and lichen padding the pews. This movie, on the other hand, is not very much like church at all.
We Are Your Friends
We Are Your Friends feels like one of the most strangely upbeat seriously foul movies you’ll ever not really want to see.
No Escape
Immersive, driving, life-affirming, disturbingly ugly and white-knuckle terrifying, all in equal measure.
Sinister 2
From the point at which the Catholic priest argues that we’re impotent to confront evil—that the best we can do is run from it—things go downhill fast.
