HEADSHOT ★★★★★
Ds: Kimo Stamboel, Timo Tjahjanto (Killers).
S: Iko Uwais, Julie Estelle, Chelsea Islan, Sunny Pang.
Camerawork and choreography are as one. Blistering. THE BOURNE IDENTITY meets UNLEASHED.
THE BELKO EXPERIMENT ★★★★☆
Director: Greg McLean (Wolf Creek 2, Rogue, Wolf Creek).
Writer: James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither, Super).
Now BATTLE ROYALE's closest rival. Employees forced to kill each other in a building did not skimp on the gore.
TRAMPS ★★★☆☆
D: Adam Leon (Gimme the Loot).
S: Callum Turner, Grace Van Patten, Mike Birbiglia.
Easily charming, but too conventional. Chemistry and effortless performances win the day. Just.
RAGE ★★★★☆
D: Sang-il Lee (Unforgiven, Villain)
S: Ken Watanabe, Aoi Miyazaki, Ken'ichi .Matsuyama, Satoshi Tsumabuki.
Director Sang-il Lee's brand of misery, misanthropy and meaninglessness. Heightened. Vivid cinematography.
THE BLEEDER ★★★☆☆
D: Philippe Falardeau (The Good Lie, Monsieur Lazhar).
S: Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, Elisabeth Moss, Ron Perlman.
Knock about and fun. Biopics can get so staid and stodgy, and to actually have something breezy feels refreshing.
