The Rover
Good 66 Points 2014

Lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Well, that’s not true. The Rover signifies a monumental Guy Pearce performance, coupled with a notable Robert Pattinson one. Nor was there lots of sound, come to think of it. Surprisingly little actually, what with Guy Pearce’s quietly laconic ave…

Very Good 66 Points 2014

Doleful economies are often enabled by Social Democratic governments, a reality brought to life in Two Days, One Night. Jobs are few and far between in 2014 Belgium, with a job at a government-subsidized solar-cell factory being the difference between home ownership and public housing. "The Dol…

Greyhound
Great 66 Points 2020

Greyhound delivers naval battle action that will likely never be topped. USN Captain Tom Hanks orders his men to General Quarters more often than you’ll go to the fridge for refills. Torpedoes get fired and outmaneuvered, depth charges deployed and cannons barraged at levels rarely seen and nev…

The Northman
Great 66 Points 2022

Half a realistic Viking movie, half a bonkers Nordic fantasy, The Northman sets a new benchmark in late-first millennium historical-fiction movies, with plenty of intense action and a dollop of sex thrown in for good measure. While not for the faint of heart, it well rewards action-movie fans a…
