Review of The Survivor (2022)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 17 Sep 2021

Ben Foster goes through more than one striking transformation here, changing body and soul while neither shying away from nor overdramatizing…

Review of The Forgiven (2022)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Sep 2021

Scripted, directed and acted with intelligence and panache, it’s a very grown-up film but never a bore, a morally alert drama that leaves…

Review of The Protégé (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 19 Aug 2021

Sans a compelling marriage of danger and eroticism, much of the third-act suspense fails to captivate…

Review of Don't Breathe 2 (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Aug 2021

Where the first film offered genuine scares, this one is suspenseful at best, snicker-worthy at worst, and will beg viewers to recall the time…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 28 Jul 2021

Not only does it find the nastily enjoyable vibe that eluded its predecessor, but it also tells a story worth following — while balancing…

Review of Old (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 22 Jul 2021

Viewers who can take it at face value may find a chill or two here, but ultimately Old can’t escape the goofiness of its premise long enough…

Review of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 22 Jul 2021

As shamelessly corporate popcorn movies go, Snake Eyes is better than most…

Review of Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Jul 2021

An underwhelming attempt to turn a tight little thriller into a sequel-spawning franchise, Adam Robitel’s Escape Room: Tournament of Champions…

Review of Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 13 Jul 2021

Though not without its moments, the film offers too little of interest for its leading ladies to do, and feels throughout like an adaptation…

Review of The Tomorrow War (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Jul 2021

Though the movie is rife with too-convenient coincidences and relies on another iffy plot point or two to make its emotional arc work, the…

Review of The Forever Purge (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 30 Jun 2021

A satisfying action pic that finally realizes the potential of its pulp-meets-sociopolitics conceit…

Review of America: The Motion Picture (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 30 Jun 2021

A throw-everything-against-the-wall collection of silly jokes that reimagines American history as a bro-tastic action flick, Matt Thompson’s…

Review of Akilla's Escape (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Jun 2021

A mature crime picture whose decades-hopping action makes the effects of generational poverty obvious without having to spell it out, it lacks…

Review of Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 09 Jun 2021

While the team-up still fails to become more than the sum of its parts, at least we can appreciate Hayek’s enthusiasm for the over-the-top role…

Review of F9 (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 May 2021

In F9’s would-be showstoppers, the thrills are mostly AWOL or the feats are simply too idiotic to embrace, even guiltily…

Review of The Water Man (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 May 2021

Oyelowo is sure-footed in his feature directing debut, delivering a smart and wholesome picture with about as little sentimentality as such…

Review of Wrath of Man (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 06 May 2021

One unfortunate effect of the jumbling is that it cools off Statham’s slow-boil performance, and prompts us to question the logic behind H’s plan…

Review of Mortal Kombat (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 22 Apr 2021

A B-movie that would benefit immensely from some wit in the script and charisma in the cast, it’s not as aggressively hacky as P.W.S.A.’s…

Review of The State of Texas vs. Melissa (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 17 Apr 2021

The doc pads out its assertions of malfeasance with personal scenes that fall flat, never giving much insight into its subject's personality…

Review of Not Going Quietly (2021)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 23 Mar 2021

Barkan proves a highly engaging man, impassioned but funnier than a terminally ill man should be…
