Review of Remember (2015)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 10 Mar 2016

The big climactic reveal should feel cheap, but it winds up opening the film up, justifying its lurid approach and creating a film that asks…

Review of Grimsby (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 09 Mar 2016

Look hard enough and the very dumb 'Grimsby' is not just Cohen's version of Bond send-up but a continuation of his plot to make the world less stupid…

Review of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 08 Mar 2016

A crackerjack exercise not just in genre but genres, with exacting direction, three great performances and a genuine respect for audience patience,…

Review of Creative Control (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 08 Mar 2016

May be right about how tech tends to enslave most of its users, but it also threatens to be reactionary and obvious…

Review of City of Gold (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 08 Mar 2016

Less a documentary version of 'Babette's Feast' than an old-fashioned city symphony, and to a city often wholly misrepresented by the movies…

Review of Hello, My Name Is Doris (2015)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 07 Mar 2016

It's not the Sally Field we expect, and though there are plenty of reasons to empathize with her blinkered protagonist, her fiercely committed…

Review of Knight of Cups (2015)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 03 Mar 2016

Even this, the least of Malick's seven films, is one that rewards being giving into…

Review of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 03 Mar 2016

A dramedy that teems with sharp (and, yes, often funny) details about life in the epicenter of wartime, more human than joke machine, even…

Review of London Has Fallen (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 02 Mar 2016

A right-wing '80s fantasy on the order of 'Rambo III' and 'Death Wish 3,' in which a lone, politically incorrect badass with perfect aim and…

Review of Zootopia (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 01 Mar 2016

A big, sometimes messy, sometimes insightful exploration of bigotry, using animals to preach for a more evolved understanding of each other's…

Review of Gods of Egypt (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 25 Feb 2016

This all might make 'Gods of Egypt' sound like a blast, but it's too cramped and muddled to achieve true bad movie transcendence…

Review of Eddie the Eagle (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 24 Feb 2016

Where 'Rudy' merely meant to uplift, 'Eddie the Eagle' - perhaps accidentally - winds up forcing us to question our notion of greatness and…

Review of Triple 9 (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 23 Feb 2016

Is this the 'Avengers: The Age of Ultron' of crime movies, which is to say a movie overstuffed with pure stuff? Or is it jam-packed on purpose…

Review of Forsaken (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 19 Feb 2016

Attempts to be a slow burn thriller building to a climactic shoot-out are more 'Back to the Future III' than 'High Noon,' but smaller character…

Review of Risen (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 18 Feb 2016

The film's own miracle is that the mid-film shift yields only a minimum of TBN-style kitsch, but it also robs the second half of any forward drive…

A perfectly calibrated (and generally perfect) feature debut from a director who got exactly what he wanted…

Review of How to Be Single (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 11 Feb 2016

Review of Zoolander 2 (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 10 Feb 2016

Review of Deadpool (2016)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 08 Feb 2016
