A dark and thunderous vision of the one of the greatest fears we have - that our own minds may in the end not only betray and destroy us, but destroy those we love most.
There’s something to be said about enduring friendship and the importance of play, but all that gets lost under its dumb execution. There’s just not enough to make it anything other than forgettable.

The film recklessly crosses lines, which is a shame as there’s a really great film hidden in ‘Red Sparrow’, a thrilling evolution of a genre that was starting to feel tired.
It’s still thrilling beyond description in a way very few of its contemporaries or disciples were ever able to be. ‘The Matrix’ is a perfect action film.
It could have made a tremendous documentary, but there’s nowhere near enough to warrant a film.
The film's flaws are more irritating for the great film this could have been, but Martin McDonough deals with blunt blows, straight masculine urges and writing often crippled by its own cleverness.
The film is just so incredibly beautiful and deeply romantic. Few films are made with such love and passion as this one, and every frame sings as a consequence.
It’s one hell of a ride - a rollicking, often insane film that throws you between its many plot lines with unbound energy, bolstered by a wicked sense of humour and a refusal to play by the rules.
It has a charm and a humour that works, and the buddy comedy approach might have a nice charm to it, but as both an adaptation and a film in its own right, it feels like a missed opportunity.
The scope of this season is enormous - scientifically, politically and personally - but if it had been a lean, mean six episodes, this first season of ‘Genius’ could have been a real ripper.
Blockbuster horror at its best. Unnerving, visually striking, emotionally rich, unexpectedly funny and wildly entertaining, it's also a film that only gets better with revisiting.
No matter how many explosions they’ve put in it, the only spectacle that comes out of this film is watching it all fall apart.
