THE RUNNING MAN Review: Glen Powell Leads Edgar Wright’s Steady Action Classic Revamp

I never read any literary works by “Richard Bachman,” so like virtually anyone in my generation, Paul Michael Glaser’s futuristic thriller, The Running Man was my first exposure to the IP, and with the casting of Arnold Schwarzenegger, you can believe it was a seller. It’s enough to be warranted a classic, so there’s no question that any idea there was about revisiting the book in any filmic capacity would draw a mix of prominently skeptic responses. Leave it to writer/director Edgar Wright to take on the task of proving doubters wrong with his latest trudge with co-writer Michael Bacall, for a brand new reimagining which he at once touted as a story more closer to the novel than the film’s 1987 predecessor. I’ll leave it to the bookworms to make that judgement since I can only gauge the film’s performance on its own merits next to the original, while […]

MISDIRECTION Review: A Decent Thriller Underwhelms More Than Scintillates

Misdirection arrives on VOD on February 10 from Cineverse. Willy’s Wonderland helmer Kevin Lewis’s new crime thriller, Misdirection, is an acquired taste, if not a tricky one. The “contained thriller” subgenre can be a hard nut to crack if you don’t know what you’re doing, and either way, you certainly have to give some credit to Lewis for giving it a shot. A good script certainty does the trick for a film like this. The story won’t falter and flounder into mundanity and you won’t be left checking the time. To this end, it helps that Misdirection keeps a lean-enough runtime at eighty-four minutes. It’s enough to encompass what Lewis’s film strives for with a tale that unravels with secrets and lies, and long-winded vengeance, and with key performances by Olga Kurylenko and Frank Grillo, and actor Oliver Trevena. It is with this trio that we follow Sarah (Kurylenko) and […]

THE FORBIDDEN CITY Shines With Action And Romance In The Official U.S. Trailer!

One of the best epic modern martial arts dramas ever made is coming to Digital to kick off the Spring in the U.S. with Gabriele Mainetti’s The Forbidden City. The film stars actress and stunt performer Yaxi Liu in a breakout role following her stunt work on Disney’s Mulan, and she’s joined by actor Enrico Borello as her romantic opposite, with action sequences by Liang Yang whose work on this film is an absolute showstopper. From Gabriele Mainetti, director of They Call Me Jeeg Robot and Freaks Out, comes the action-packed tale of two strangers seeking the truth and vengeance. Mei arrives in Rome looking for her missing sister and, along the way, meets Marcello, who is desperate to find his father. Together, they will fight their way through the Roman underworld.
