Review of Greed (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Sep 2019

It's a wobbly but amusing pic that only really raises eyebrows at the end…

Review of Synchronic (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Sep 2019

The film takes a more prosaic approach to its sci-fi premise than its predecessors did, presumably in an attempt to reach viewers who need…

Review of Greed (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Sep 2019

It's a wobbly but amusing pic that only really raises eyebrows at the end…

Review of Riot Girls (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 10 Sep 2019

Lacking the charming eccentricity of a Turbo Kid or the compelling mood of many retro-horror successes, the picture has little to recommend…

Review of Dolemite Is My Name (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 08 Sep 2019

Odd, then, that [Brewer and Murphy's] Dolemite Is My Name is such a conventional-feeling biopic, one with its share of laughs and surprising…

Review of Just Mercy (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 08 Sep 2019

A straightforward biopic ... The film's edge is somewhat dulled by respect for its subject, who's drawn here as more hero than man…

Review of Ms. Purple (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 Sep 2019

[A] gorgeously shot and sensitively acted drama, a demonstration of range from the actor-turned-director…

Review of It Chapter Two (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 03 Sep 2019

Though Muschietti occasionally finds lovely filmic ways to transition from one to the next, the stories don't get to resonate with each other…

Review of Killerman (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 29 Aug 2019

The gritty pic's aesthetic scratches an itch for lovers of '70s/'80s urban grime…

Review of Bennett's War (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 29 Aug 2019

Performances are generally competent, but nobody in the cast has the kind of presence needed to overcome Ranarivelo's by-the-numbers dialogue…

Review of The Fanatic (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 28 Aug 2019

While Travolta may believe he's seriously engaging with the character, following thesps like Dustin Hoffman and Sean Penn into the always-dicey…

Review of Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 26 Aug 2019

For those with only a glancing knowledge or none at all, this is as good an introduction as you could want…

Review of Jacob's Ladder (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 20 Aug 2019

As jumbled as all this is, the film never achieves the kind of sweaty intensity of the original…

Review of ZZ Top - That Little Ol' Band from Texas (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 20 Aug 2019

A good-natured ride at first, its limited scope grows more apparent as it goes; still, a feel-good approach is unlikely to hurt it as it begins…

Review of Already Gone (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 19 Aug 2019

The plot does, finally, allow the emotions Robbie won't express to erupt in a way that threatens everything, and Kenneally's script deals knowingly…

Review of The Divine Fury (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 15 Aug 2019

Excitement is hard to find in Joo-hwan Kim's The Divine Fury, a leaden good-vs-evil tale that takes issues of faith very, very seriously but…

Review of Ready or Not (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Aug 2019

Ready has a fine time with its setting (the trappings of old money are much more appealing here than they were in Netflix's Murder Mystery),…

Review of 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Aug 2019

Set disbelief aside, and primal phobias may well suffice to get you happily to the other side of this adventure…

Review of ECCO (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 09 Aug 2019

A surfeit of bad-ass mystery-man posturing and dearth of either convincing emotion or visceral kicks makes this pastiche unmoving, an assemblage…

Review of MOOP (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Aug 2019

Given the utter incoherence of the main characters' comings and goings, the pic's main point of interest is its documentation of Burning Man's…
