Review of Brahms: The Boy II (2020)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Feb 2020

None of the mounting dread is surprising, and only some of it is more effective than the average haunted-whatever picture…

Review of The Turning (2020)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Jan 2020

In a movie as utterly lost as The Turning, everything from the performances to the production design to the music cues amount to one big pile…

Review of A Fall from Grace (2020)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Jan 2020

It’s a five-day toss-off that’s simultaneously an impressive feat and business as usual…

Review of The Grudge (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Polygon (677) on 03 Jan 2020

The film isn’t especially scary, but it has a creepy, pervasive grimness, well-acted by the impressive ensemble…

Review of Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The Verge (432) on 19 Dec 2019

The Next Level thinks the milk-bland personalities of its central teenagers and a couple of cranky old people count as a rooting interest to…

Review of Just Mercy (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Dec 2019

The filmmakers and actors imbue the characters with remarkable depth of feeling…

Review of Spies in Disguise (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Dec 2019

Spies In Disguise isn’t clever enough to reconcile the disingenuousness of setting off a litany of pointless explosions and battles before…

Review of Bombshell (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Polygon (677) on 12 Dec 2019

Apart from some compelling procedural elements, the movie is mostly style, and that style is a generic mess of tics: pseudo-documentary quick…

Review of 6 Underground (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Dec 2019

Between the movie’s subtext and its new-digital-world distributor, Bay seems to be communicating the frustration of constraint, but why…

Review of Playmobil: The Movie (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Dec 2019

Playmobil: The Movie isn’t as funny as some of the direct-to-video Lego-related movies, either, and that’s very much the field it competes…

Review of The Aeronauts (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Nov 2019

On the whole, The Aeronauts is a pretty good small-scale adventure movie…

Review of 21 Bridges (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Nov 2019

This is a well-crafted, exciting movie, sometimes more impressive for maintaining those qualities in the face of an utterly unsurprising story…

Review of Ford v Ferrari (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Nov 2019

Setting aside more particular genre trappings, Mangold re-engineers one of his unfussy studio throwbacks into a supersized Dad Movie event…

Review of The Good Liar (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Nov 2019

Instead of deepening his material, Condon has made an unsuccessful fling of a movie: fun for a while, but trying to get as far as it can by…

Review of Playing with Fire (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 Nov 2019

It’s more tedious than unwatchable, and pint-size Cena fans may be curious to see him in a movie more compatible with his Kids’ Choice…

Review of Motherless Brooklyn (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 28 Oct 2019

This passion project also lets Norton indulge in the kind of tic-heavy acting challenge he embraced early in his career…

Review of Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Oct 2019

Dark Fate serves as a case study for the difficulty of crafting a satisfying follow-up to a pair of certified classics, a process that seems…

Review of Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The Verge (432) on 17 Oct 2019

At times, Double Tap does recapture the original film’s tossed-off delights…

Review of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Oct 2019

It’s hard to say what’s odder about Maleficent 2: that Jolie disappears for long stretches of it, or that her elegant, imperious darkness…

Review of Jexi (2019)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The Verge (432) on 11 Oct 2019

It would be easier to buy Jexi’s more intentional absurdities if its reality wasn’t so elastic, stretching to accommodate poorly staged…
