Ridiculous movie. poor plot, senseless creepy violence. Surprised Forest Whitaker would want to be in such a stupid movie…

Review of Repentance (2014)

I don't get all the negative reviews about this movie. I thought Anthony Mackie did great. Also Forest Whitaker was good too…

Review of Repentance (2014)

Could have been a lot better. But Forrest Whittaker was awesome…

Review of Repentance (2014)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 02 Mar 2014

Review of Judge Dredd (1995)
