Review of Cuban Fury (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Apr 2014

Too mild for its own good, a formulaic 'worm turns' story that doesn't take full advantage of its dance milieu…

Review of Transcendence (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Apr 2014

Often a striking visual experience [but] little more than a modern Luddite fable so puerile in conception that it rivals 'V for Vendetta' in…

Review of Dom Hemingway (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Apr 2014

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Apr 2014

Review of Rio 2 (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Apr 2014

Review of Draft Day (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Apr 2014

A loser...loaded with cliches and inanities, it huffs and puffs but ends up more winded than pumped-up…

Review of Oculus (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Apr 2014

[A] slow-burning supernatural thriller [that's] uneven but genuinely eerie and unsettling, clever in its use of 'gotcha' moments and sparing…

Review of The Raid 2 (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Apr 2014

Feels weighted down by its ambitions [but] it's pretty hypnotic. And it boasts some fantastic action, though the violence is ludicrously over-the-top…

Review of 50 to 1 (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Apr 2014

Earnest but cliche-ridden...you're left with the feeling you've seen it all many times before, and needn't have seen it again…

Review of Joe (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Apr 2014

A powerful piece of Southern gothic that gives Nicolas Cage his best role in years…

Review of The Unknown Known (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Apr 2014

Another portrait in Morris' extraordinary gallery of self-deluding subjects, one more famous than the others…

Review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Apr 2014

A rousing adventure that will make devoted Captain America fans swoon while also pleasing those who met him only in the first film, but also…

Review of Sabotage (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 27 Mar 2014

A grotesquely nasty piece of work...a rancid, nihilistic wallow in cynicism and gore…

Review of Big Men (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 21 Mar 2014

What sets 'Big Men' apart and makes it engrossing is the extraordinary degree of access Boynton had to the major parties and the deftness with…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Mar 2014

An oddly drab and unexciting portrait of a conspicuously nonsensical dystopian society…

Review of Bad Words (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Mar 2014

If vulgar language doesn't offend you overmuch, you'll find 'Bad Words' an engagingly off-color way to spend an hour and a half…
