Review of In the Earth (2021)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 14 Jun 2021

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 11 Jun 2021

Lacking anything approaching originality, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is a generic, by-the-numbers action-comedy sequel…

Review of Dream Horse (2021)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 03 Jun 2021

Dream Horse is predictable and manipulative to a fault but, sparked by Toni Collette, there is a strong sense of sincerity and commitment to…

Review of Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In (2021)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 28 May 2021

It’s very conventional in form and dances round his famous temper, but Never Give In touches on topics (class, identity) rare in a sports…

Review of First Cow (2020)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 27 May 2021

Review of F9 (2021)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Empire (3,446) on 25 May 2021

Course-correcting to some degree with the return of its most inspired director, Justin Lin’s latest F&F instalment is a little too plastic…

Review of Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2021)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 17 May 2021

It's no Paddington 2, but Peter Rabbit 2 works well thanks to a mocking sense of self and a strong second half. Once again, Beatrix Potter, it is not…

Review of The Woman in the Window (2021)

By Jordan King (10) for Empire (3,446) on 17 May 2021

Pretty cinematography and a committed performance from Amy Adams fail to save The Woman In The Window, a film that aims for Hitchcockian thrills…

Review of Oxygen (2021)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 12 May 2021
