THE INTERNET'S MOST HONEST FILM REVIEWS. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018)
Of Lagercrantz's three novels in the series, this is by some distance the best, but it's arguably the hardest to adapt for the screen.

The Searchers (1956)
The Searchers is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. Although it's great, this is a claim too far.

Outland (1981)
Apart from the fact that there isn't an alien in Peter Hyam's Outland, this may as well be Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) made by Luc Besson.

Surprisingly, Taken isn't simply ninety minutes of brainless violence.

Watching a film in 4DX is absolutely a different experience from seeing it in the traditional cinematic fashion.

Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Three Days Of The Condor is held in high regard, and it's fun, but it's not essential.

Candy Cane Lane (2023)
Eddie Murphy makes a devilish deal with a lunatic elf before being plunged into two hours of madness.
