Review of Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Oct 2015

It sets a tone, all right. A lot of gamers (sorry, filmgoers) may well enjoy writer-director Michael Davis' ultraviolent lark…

Review of Steve Jobs (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Oct 2015

The movie, a formidable technical and design achievement, has everything going for it except a sense of Jobs' inner life…

Review of Bridge of Spies (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Oct 2015

The film is an anomaly — a confident, slightly square, highly satisfying example of old-school Hollywood craftsmanship, starring a major…

Review of Beasts of No Nation (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Oct 2015

I never felt emotionally exploited by the terrors on screen. Rather, Beasts of No Nation is an act of gripping empathy…

Review of Crimson Peak (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Oct 2015

Not even the film's occasional bursts of ultra-violence, or the endlessly oozing red clay, or Hiddleston crying a red tear, or Chastain swanning…

Review of Pan (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Oct 2015

The most joyless revisionism since Disney's The Lone Ranger…

Review of Prophet's Prey (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2015

The movie finds what solace it can in giving voice to those who escaped this church's grasp…

Review of Prey (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2015

The movie finds what solace it can in giving voice to those who escaped this church's grasp…

Review of The Second Mother (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2015

Muylaert's picture relates to many other South American domestic comedies pitting the help against the economic overlords, but this one has…

Review of The Martian (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2015

It's one of the most comforting science fiction films in years…

Review of Martian (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2015

It's one of the most comforting science fiction films in years…

Review of 99 Homes (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2015

At its best, 99 Homes finds Bahrani tightening the screws on his own style, going for speed, concision and an agitating rhythm where his previous…

Review of The Walk (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Sep 2015

I cannot say how I'd feel about The Walk if I'd never seen Man on Wire, because I did see Man on Wire, and I can't un-see it. I love it…

Review of The Walk (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Sep 2015

I cannot say how I'd feel about The Walk if I'd never seen Man on Wire, because I did see Man on Wire, and I can't un-see it. I love it…

Review of The Intern (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2015

Has its bright spots but is practically blinded by its own privileged perspective of life among the landed gentry of Brooklyn…

Review of The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2015

It's a strong reminder of the times, then and now…

Review of Goodnight Mommy (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2015

Flashes of Goodnight Mommy are forceful and blackly funny…

Review of The New Girlfriend (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2015

The actors are more than fine. Demoustier is the key, making her character's shifts in astonishment and perplexity honest and plausible…

Review of Sicario (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2015

Sicario doesn't fall apart in its second half, exactly, but it does settle for less than it should…

Review of Envy (2001)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2015
