Review of In the Fade (2017)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 Dec 2017

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 Dec 2017

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Dec 2017

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Dec 2017

Review of Trapped (2002)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Dec 2017

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Dec 2017
