Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

Canberra, ACT – Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called for a “debate” on the control of “misogynistic” content online. “By ‘debate’, I...

Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

There are quite a few clones and derivatives of Taken since its release in 2008. Here are 35 mini-reviews.

It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Not a bad revenge film about a young woman going after those responsible for her best friend’s death.

Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

Merchandizing tool as expected. Writing is surprisingly not bad, but is ultimately about the artwork.

A gritty vigilante film with Denzel Washington beating up thugs. Need I say more?

Somewhat predictable. Tries too hard to look cool at times. Good voice acting (Japanese). Not bad but nothing great. Overhyped.

Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill is a short and easy read on the topic, written for a general adult audience, particularly parents.

This time, Mike Banning is framed and he has to run. Definitely the weakest of the trilogy.

Not a bad action film but it is more of the same.

The production itself isn’t bad, maybe tries a little too hard. Either way, the action scenes are not dazzling.

Tries to be a gritty vigilante-revenge film but execution is lacking. The action and logistics just feel awkward.

Instead of thugs, McCall is going up against skilled operatives like himself. Lacks the energy and emotional satisfaction of the first film.

In some ways the Korean version of La Femme Nikita. Nicely shot revenge flick but perhaps predictable.

Clichéd premise, which is fine, but is unfortunately poorly executed in most respects.
