Review of Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Dec 2018

An ambitious, if flawed, entry in the 'Jungle Book' sweepstakes...a film that never quite finds its footing, ending up as an intriguing misfire…

Review of Roma (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Dec 2018

Review of The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Dec 2018

Gets about as much mileage out of its thin premise as could be expected, and exhibits some cool visuals along the way; but that's not quite enough…

Review of Robin Hood (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 21 Nov 2018

A bizarre, goofy, almost unbelievably awful reworking of the legend [that] belongs near the very bottom in the Robin Hood hall of shame, not…

Review of Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Nov 2018

Curiously smug and overly self-aware, [it's] exceedingly busy, but lacking in the heart and humor that were hallmarks of its predecessor…

Review of Creed II (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Nov 2018

It feels more like 'Rocky VII' than 'Creed II,' recycling the old franchise tropes rather than reimagining them in the way its predecessor did…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Nov 2018

Reitman's film gives a decent overview of the aborted Hart campaign, though its point of view is pretty narrow and the overall treatment rather…

Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Nov 2018

Review of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Nov 2018

Uneven, but it exhibits the brothers' quirky sense of humor throughout, as well as their undeniable filmmaking finesse…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Nov 2018

A dark, convoluted tale of crime, corruption, and abuse that's really too overstuffed for its own good but bolstered by a committed cast…

Review of Boy Erased (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Nov 2018

By avoiding turning exponents of the controversial treatment into monsters while underlining its dangers, Edgerton's film can serve to stimulate…

Review of Outlaw King (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 10 Nov 2018

Though 'Outlaw King' may well appeal to the nationalist sentiments of many Scots, for most others it will be a rather plodding history lesson-one…

Review of A Private War (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 08 Nov 2018

An honest, warts and all portrait of a woman so driven to inform readers of the mad violence in the world that it cost her her own life…

Review of The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 07 Nov 2018

By reducing the girl with a dragon tattoo to a more conventional action heroine, the film makes her less interesting and itself more disposable…

Review of In Search of Greatness (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Nov 2018

Though uneven and at times overstuffed with imagery and generalization, it offers a useful message for obsessive 'sports dads' to hear…

Review of 1985 (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Nov 2018

It would have been called groundbreaking had it been made in the titular year, but in 2018 it comes across like a throwback to an earlier time,…

Review of Suspiria (2018)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Nov 2018
