BRING HIM TO ME Review: Barry Pepper Leads A Steady, Full-Throttle Crime Noir From Luke Sparke

Bring Him To Me opens in select theaters and on-demand on February 23 from Roadside Attractions. Horror thriller “Scurry” was the most recent project attaching actor Barry Pepper to Aussie director Luke Sparke a few years back. Invariably the pair ended up awaiting their forthcoming collaboration which now brings us to the Occupation sci-fi franchise helmer’s most recent effort, Bring Him To Me, starring Pepper alongside Jamie Costa. Boasting a taut thriller with complex characters and slick cinematography, Sparke’s Bring Him To Me lends a screenplay by Tom Evans, host to a tale of greed, guilt and retribution. The lead characters – played by Pepper and Costa – don’t have names, a fact later acknowledged in a jocular moment between Passenger (Costa) and the more terse and focused Driver (Pepper). Their chemistry takes a bit of time to muster, particularly well into the first half of the film with Driver […]

ASSASSIN CLUB Review: Camille Delamarre’s Hit-Or-Miss Killer Thriller, Well… Misses

Lee B. Golden III

Assassin Club arrives on Digital from May 16, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray beginning June 6. It wasn’t that long ago when actor Henry Golding’s coming out party in the action cinema arena took the reins for Paramount Pictures as the name and face of the studio’s most recent stake in the G.I. Joe franchise for an origin story centered around the character, Snake Eyes. The movie had all the trimmings and maybe even the potential to be an outstanding film, or possibly more memorable than it has been for some who remain fond of its spirited efforts in some aspects, and instead, you’ll hardly hear a lingering whisper from action fans about the film – not exactly a flex if you’re Golding and you’re next stake in the genre is another film that proves to be just as mid. That’s where director Camille Delamarre comes in, having […]
