Review of The Paper Tigers (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 07 May 2021

The Paper Tigers is still very much a martial arts movie that ends with a late-night rooftop fight, and then a celebratory dim sum meal…

Review of Cliff Walkers (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 30 Apr 2021

In many ways, Zhang’s latest is the coldest film that he’s made in a while, though it might also be his most alluring…

Review of Bloodthirsty (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 23 Apr 2021

Bloodthirsty isn’t as deep or dark as it needs to be, and that’s way more frustrating than its general lack of werewolves…

Review of For the Sake of Vicious (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 17 Apr 2021

Unfortunately, the quality of storytelling here often isn’t strong enough to hold one’s interest throughout such a diminutive runtime…

Review of Funny Face (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 02 Apr 2021

The director's gifted collaborators sometimes perk up this listless parable, but never enough to sell its second-hand fatalism…

Review of The Vault (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 26 Mar 2021

The Vault is not, in other words, just derivative—it’s also flabby and bland…

Review of The Reckoning (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 05 Feb 2021

The ensemble cast members all dutifully perform their roles, but there’s not much for them to sink their teeth into…

Review of Earwig and the Witch (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 03 Feb 2021

This may be Goro Miyazaki’s most eccentric feature yet, but it’s also his least engaging…

Review of Caged (2021)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 26 Jan 2021

Watching Harlow struggle with the simultaneously impersonal and obviously prejudiced nature of his imprisonment is often enough to make Caged…

Review of PG: Psycho Goreman (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 22 Jan 2021

Psycho Goreman isn’t clever or lively enough to be more than fitfully fun, especially given how much time is spent mocking generic, but painstakingly…

Review of Don't Tell a Soul (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 19 Jan 2021

An ambitious black comedy that never goes far enough…

Review of Spiral (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 16 Dec 2020

This movie is progressive intentionally, but not formally, and the difference between its creators’ themes and consideration is unfortunately…

Review of Spirál (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 16 Dec 2020

This movie is progressive intentionally, but not formally, and the difference between its creators’ themes and consideration is unfortunately…

Review of What Lies Below (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 10 Dec 2020

With its gleefuly nihilistic and destructive ending, What Lies Below ends on such a flat note that it makes everything before it seem like…

Review of Vanguard (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 20 Nov 2020

The movie’s off-putting and constantly foregrounded political agenda wouldn’t be so unpleasant if the action scenes were more plentiful…

Review of Jiu Jitsu (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 20 Nov 2020

Jiu Jitsu is too disjointed and tame to be worth an impulse-rent; it's also too silly to be enjoyed with a straight face, and too lazy to be…

Review of Kindred (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 06 Nov 2020

The most frustrating thing about the British prenatal horror movie Kindred is not that it’s impersonal, but rather that it’s not personal enough…

Review of The Doorman (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 09 Oct 2020

The bad guy likes opera in the mostly forgettable heist/hostage thriller The Doorman, a movie that’s well-versed in clichés and basically…

Review of 12 Hour Shift (2020)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 02 Oct 2020

In this context, Farnworth’s appropriately broad performance is exceptional…
