This ambitious opioid money game ODs on cliches and weak script. A decade ago, we got “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which knew how to swindle people of their money, so Jordan […]
Pain Hustlers
Anatomy of a Fall
Accident or murder? This profound movie must figure that out. The death of a loved one is heartbreaking beyond measure, especially if it has to be a painful one. It regards a […]
The Killer
A Fassbender/Fincher merger that shoots and scores. Michael Fassbender’s killer character in David Fincher’s “The Killer” has his rules to follow, when it comes to taking out his targets. He narrates these […]
Killers of the Flower Moon

A Haunting in Venice
The spirits within push this Branagh mystery franchise higher. Kenneth Branagh’s take on Hercule Poirot has transitioned from an Agatha Christie character to an iconic movie name, and I’m not insulting literature […]
El Conde
This vampire satire drinks some fresh blood. “El Conde” is the third vampire movie I have seen this year, after the charming “Renfield” and the boring “Last Voyage of the Demeter.” I’ve […]
