Chryssa X Amazing Viola Davis. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Richard H The only reason this movie got four stars instead of five from me is that it runs a little slow, and it sort of has a few minor loose ends. Plenty of twists and turns after the initial slowness, and the female empowerment element, meshed with the possible symbolism of the dangers of masculinity run rampant, makes this the perfect action movie for either a female sleep over, or any person who enjoys a good action movie with depth. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review First name L The third act twist is predictable, but this ensemble drama is the Ocean's 8 alternative. Why recast an existing franchise when there are feature films like this one. It's focused on solid writing, carefully matched performances and gut-wrenching odds. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Theodoros A Amazing action movie! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Jeff M This is a fantastic movie that was unjustly ignored by audiences and awards bodies upon its initial release. I have a gut feeling its reputation will grow over the years, and it will eventually be re-discovered as a classic. Seriously, this pretty much has something for everyone. There is drama, there is humor, there are thrills and twists and turns that make you dizzy with cinematic joy. And it is that rare opportunity to see an ensemble of tough, tenacious and terrific actresses join forces and kick some serious butt in a quality film. Take OCEANS EIGHT, mix a bit of THE GRIFTERS, add some KILL BILL and a dash of GONE GIRL, bake at 350, sit back and enjoy. This is one of those rare movies like THE DARK KNIGHT that miraculously blurs the line between artistic and commercial filmmaking. Davis is fabulous in one of her best performances, and the seemingly 11 foot tall Debicki pretty much steals the show. There is also a frighteningly fun supporting turn by GET OUT's Daniel Kaluuya that probably deserved a Supporting Actor nomination. If you like a good heist thriller, I don't think you'll find one much better than this. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Kenneth L I wanted to like this movie. I was told it was sort of spiritual sequel to Heat (as in what would happen in the aftermath). But, this movie was not that. It's a heist movie where the heist doesn't happen until the very end, is very quick, and isn't very interesting. Add in a bunch of plot conveniences and the movie just wasn't very good.
