This is nothing like the original, why remake something and completely miss all the elements that made the original great. It started on track and then became "straw dogs", what were they thinking.
All that was needed to be done was to copy paste the script in English so we get a version without subtitles but this is rubbish, viewers are advised to please watch the original.
James McAvoy does put an impressive performance but unfortunately it will be overshadowed by this Hollywoodised mess. And why isn't McKenzie Davis getting roles, the last I remember her is from terminator. She deserves to be in more movies and i hope she gets good roles.

Everyone loves Kevin Costner and this is his passion project with his savings on stake, we the viewers have to make it work.
I am just wondering what the last 15 minutes were, are these glimpses of the future parts or was this stuff supposed to be in this movie but could not be squeezed in. With no viewer promts it really confused me, as did some parts within which seemed to be incoherent.
I read somewhere that a proposal from streaming services to sponsor the remaining parts is on the table and we might see all chapters as a series, which seems to suit the sort of story with several plot lines Mr. Costner is trying to tell. Lets see how this unfolds and I will support it irrespective of the medium.

Did not know anything about this movie before and gave it a go only because I like German films, it tackles a difficult subject of grief the family experiences after the son commits suicide. It manifests itself in different forms and here we see how the whole family addresses it in their own way.
The protagonist (sister) Rebecca tries to understand the motives and learn more about her brother through the brother's friend who was with him when the incident occurred. The journey and the possibility of this process pushing her towards a similar fate forms the story, and how she and her family come to terms with the loss.
Sure this is not critically acclaimed work but viewers will be rewarded, a foreign language film you will not regret watching in the time when most of the mainstream films especially by streaming services are formulaic.

Mia Isaac's poem at the end, that's the review and what makes this movie worth a watch. What an actress in making, don't make me go and then this simply wow.
I hope there is an explanation video out there cause I can tell there was more to it, but what if this was inspired from the star wars Natalie Portman meme! Maybe it was supposed to leave audiences scratching their heads.
There is a notable cast and clues that the stories are related and that there are potentially different timelines but nothing is confirmed
I am not sure how I can recommend it to anyone or even how to rate it, but I agree with some of the reviewers that this could have been better as standalone short stories.

It tries to be the cult classic but doesn't get in that territory with a dragged and shallow storyline.
There are lots of lines and references to achieve something big but nothing memorable, just a one time watch.

Before you get a chance to see No Time to Die you will probably want to watch Daniel Craig's Bond story, which is nicely told with inside details especially of interest for the viewers who witnessed this Bond transition.
My only complaint was missing interviews/ stories from some of the key cast members.

One of the X files episode had the same story and that was better and memorable than this. I was expecting more from a M Night's movie.
Isn't Anabelle Wallace the prettiest, she should be in more movies.
This isn't real horror and you will early on guess the big reveal, the gore is ok and there is a comical vibe which seemed a little misplaced in this genre, not sure what that was about but overall offers enough to viewers to make it to the end.

I had never watched the play but knew it was award winning and how would it pan out in a movie was uncertain.
It stays close to its original format with rich dialogue and manages to keep you engaged, with just the right amount of visualisations and change of scenery. Amazing acting makes it all worth the watch, give Shea Whigham an Oscar already and Jon Bernthal in a non action role was a pleasant surprise.
The story is a sarcastic commentary on society which earns it the comedy drama classification and is worth a watch, you won't regret it.

An emotional story portrayed by two amazing young actors, fine performances which take you on a rollercoaster of emotions.
Mary Elizabeth is now in the same league as Mila Jovovich and Charlize Theron for bad ass action/stunts, this movie is paving the way for a standalone Huntress but misses out to be anything memorable on its own.
This is not a 3.9 movie (the rating it has when I am writing), the reviewers have been too harsh.
Has some cool social commentary, good acting and John Boyega seemed like a young Danzel Washington, maybe a project in the making.
Watch it and don't trust the rating.

I am sure nobody reads reviews for these films but someone needs to please shut it down, how much more are they going to milk this franchise!
This movie seems to showcase Hannah Kasulka, who has substantial screen time and is a definite eye candy.
The movie shows promise in the beginning but loses it quickly, a simple idea is dragged a bit too long and a bonkers twist.
Don't expect much and watch it just for the gorgeous Hannah Kasulka.

I remember watching the trailer earlier but didn't recall much of the movie apart from it starring Ben Foster and Elle Fanning, which was enough to establish its worth for me but unfortunately there was/is no buzz about it within movie circles. Although this is not Mélanie Laurent's directorial debut but I am sure her skills beyond an actress will be noted hereafter.
Both the leads are absolutely amazing, and little Fanning proves her well-deserved critical acclaim.
The scene where Ben Foster confronts Elle Fanning at the motel is my favorite, the emotions and character portrayal reminds me of Emma Stone's Oscar nominated confrontation with Michael Keaton in Bird Man.
It is really unfortunate that Ben Foster has remained under the radar for most of his career, and it is good to see two of his movies this year ("Leave no Trace" being the earlier) after some mainstream recognition in "Hell or High Water"
The plot is action/ drama but it's not your regular type, as can be expected by the cast. How the characters and story unfolds will keep you glued, so if you are here being indecisive just watch it and thank me later.
