Review of Suicide Squad (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Aug 2016

But folks, this is a lousy script, blobby like the endlessly beheaded minions of the squad's chief adversary…

Review of Last Chance Harvey (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Aug 2016

Last Chance Harvey is what it is: a pleasant put-up job, held up by world-class pros…

Review of Bad Moms (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2016

Bad Moms keeps settling for less than it should, given the talent on screen…

Review of Jason Bourne (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2016

At its best Jason Bourne crackles with professionalism; at its worst, it's rehashing greatest hits (as in, assassinations) from earlier films,…

Review of Don't Think Twice (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2016

A genuinely charming comedy about real people challenging themselves to create new realities for laughs and a little truth, one made-up scene…

Review of Smart People (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Jul 2016

Church is most at home in his character’s skin; aside from the game but strident Quaid, all the leading players are ideally cast…

Review of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2016

The jokes about washed-up, worn-out social climbers and boozehounds feel a decade or so out of date, and I found Eddy's self-loathing streak…

Review of Stomp the Yard (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2016

The results are corny beyond measure…

Review of Lights Out (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Jul 2016

Palmer and Bello really do seem like world-weary, spook-addled daughter and mother, and they play the stakes just so, favoring neither blase…

Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Jul 2016

The latest, produced by Abrams and directed by Fast and Furious alum Justin Lin, isn't quite up to the 2009 and 2013 movies…

Review of Predators (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Jul 2016

Predators, plural, starts well and ends poorly, and in the middle it's in the middle…

Review of The Infiltrator (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jul 2016

The Infiltrator works best in its unglamorous scenes of everyday deception…

Review of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Jul 2016

A true feat of daring and one of the craziest films of the year…

Review of The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Jul 2016

Sloppy, grimy but quick on its feet, which puts it ahead of certain other (“The Hangover”) R-rated comedies (“The Hangover”) we’ve…

Review of Café Society (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Jul 2016

Cafe Society is a good-looking nothing, but there are times — thanks more to Allen's direction than his writing, and thanks mostly to the…

Review of Neon Bull (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2016

The beauty of the film is undeniable, as is the cruelty of the bull's lives. (This is not a picture for animal-sensitive viewers.)…

Review of Our Kind of Traitor (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2016

I don't the think the look is quite right for the story…

Review of The Purge: Election Year (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2016

It's nice to see an action movie take more than a passing interest in where our country is at the moment, and then exaggerating that moment…

Review of From Paris with Love (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2016

Stoopid fun, From Paris With Love doesn't do much for Paris or love, or your brain cells, but it flies like a crazed eagle on uppers and comes…

Review of The BFG (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Jun 2016
