LOVING ★★★½☆
Directed by Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special, Mud, Take Shelter, Shotgun Stories).
Starring Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga, Marton Csokas, Nick Kroll, Michael Shannon.
An injustice movie refreshingly devoid of histrionics. Pace is price paid to demonstrate legal process, and to paint a picture.
THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN ★★½☆☆
D: Antoine Fuqua (Southpaw, The Equalizer, Olympus Has Fallen, Brooklyn’s Finest, Shooter, King Arthur, Tears of the Sun, Training Day, The Replacement Killers)
S: Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Haley Bennett, Peter Sarsgaard
Ace cast, boisterous climax, but the rest is meh. Pales compared to nearest rival, 13 ASSASSINS.
THE BAD BATCH ★★☆☆☆
Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night)
Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Giovanni Ribisi, Yolonda Ross, Jayda Fink, Cory Roberts,
Louie Lopez, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey
Disappointing. THE ROAD via THE NEON DEMON. Surreal, empty, cannibal, post-apocalyptic sci-fi.
MESSAGE FROM THE KING ★★☆☆☆
D: Fabrice Du Welz (Alléluia, Vinyan)
S: Chadwick Boseman, Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Alfred Molina
'The World of Kanako' elevated the 'Get Carter' formula. This doesn't compete. Substandard revenge flick.
