The Sunset Limited (2011) 68% 3.5/5 EDIT “The Sunset Limited is smart, engaging, thought provoking and most of all, features a heated debate between two of Hollywood's finest. What more can you ask for?” – We Got This Covered Aug 6, 2020 Full Review 1917 (2019) 88% 6/10 EDIT “With incredibly immersive visuals, courtesy of the great Roger Deakins, 1917 is a major cinematic achievement on the technical level, even while the script retreads classic war film themes without anything new to say.” – We Got This Covered Dec 11, 2019 Full Review I Spit on Your Grave (1978) 51% EDIT “It's poorly made, the acting is non-existent and it's overly violent and brutal. That being said, it's a wildly notorious film and its legacy is undeniable.” – We Got This Covered Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) 42% 5/10 EDIT “Maze Runner: The Death Cure convolutes rather than conveys, muddying its story with twists and turns that feel both unnecessary and unwanted.” – We Got This Covered Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Bright (2017) 26% 4/10 EDIT “Bright seeks a balance it never strikes. It's a boldly written and brazenly directed film, and while that kind of confidence has both merit and a place in Hollywood, it just doesn't translate well here.” – We Got This Covered Dec 23, 2017 Full Review Miracles From Heaven (2016) 45% 5/10 EDIT “Despite earnest intentions and a promising cast, Miracles from Heaven can't find salvation from its own shortcomings.” – We Got This Covered Mar 16, 2016 Full Review All Good Things (2010) 34% 3.5/5 EDIT “A somewhat flawed yet ultimately satisfying thriller.” – We Got This Covered Mar 23, 2015 Full Review Summer of Blood (2014) 54% 5/10 EDIT “Onur Tukel goes to great lengths to ensure you hate his main character Erik Sparrow, and with only that mission in mind, Summer Of Blood is an unfortunate success.” – We Got This Covered Oct 15, 2014 Full Review Noah (2014) 75% 8/10 EDIT “Though it's not without its faults, Darren Aronofsky's Noah is a powerful experience with some truly stunning scenes.” – We Got This Covered Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Leave the World Behind (2014) 67% 7/10 EDIT “Leave The World Behind is a slightly shallow, yet still entertaining documentary about one of EDM's most influential groups.” – We Got This Covered Mar 12, 2014 Full Review Justin Bieber's Believe (2013) 53% 7/10 EDIT “Even if it doesn't ask all the right question or provide the answers we're looking for, Justin Bieber's Believe is a perfectly harmless piece of work that will send fangirls the world over into a tizzy.” – We Got This Covered Dec 25, 2013 Full Review Unstoppable (2010) 87% 7/10 EDIT “Unstoppable is a pure thrill ride from beginning to end. Well-staged action, strong performances and great direction make it one of the most exciting films of the year.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Hereafter (2010) 48% 3/10 EDIT “Eastwood fails to infuse any moments of suspense or heart into the story and when all is said and done, Hereafter is an anticlimactic, sleepy and momentum-less mess of a film.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Jackass 3 (2010) 67% 8/10 EDIT “Jackass 3D is incredibly stupid, but it's also hands down one of the funniest and most entertaining movies I've seen all year. Anyone who thinks differently just doesn't have a sense of humor and needs to lighten up a bit.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Red (2010) 72% 5/10 EDIT “It delivers a few thrills here and there but ultimately a bland story and forgettable characters turn Red into a mediocre action film at best.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Conviction (2010) 67% 6/10 EDIT “Conviction is way too routine, not fleshed out enough and rather uninspired. I'd recommend it for a watch just for the performances alone but that's it.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review The Social Network (2010) 96% 10/10 EDIT “The Social Network is a spellbinding and compelling story with top notch performances and flawless directing.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Mesrine: Part 1 - Death Instinct (2008) 81% 8/10 EDIT “Mesrine: Killer Instinct is a triumphant gangster film. It's exhilarating throughout thanks to a masterful performance by Vincent Cassel and some expertly staged action scenes. Comparing this one to Goodfellas would not be a stretch.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Case 39 (2009) 22% 4/10 EDIT “Despite its initial premise showing promise, Case 39 turns out to be boring, predictable and nothing new.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Inception (2010) 87% 10/10 EDIT “Inception is the best film of the year and one of the best films of the decade, this is Nolan's masterpiece and it is perfect in every regard.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Centurion (2010) 59% 7/10 EDIT “Centruion is an exciting and intense action/adventure film with fantastic fight scenes and strong acting.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review The Expendables (2010) 41% 8/10 EDIT “What The Expendables does right is it caters to its fans. It knows exactly what they want and it delivers a a pure, adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride with some great action.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) 83% 8/10 EDIT “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is refreshing, unique, wildly entertaining and consistently funny. I haven't had this much fun while watching a movie in a long, long time.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review Predators (2010) 65% 7/10 EDIT “A decent cast, great effects and costumes and satisfying blood and gore make this a pretty decent horror remake, which you don't find too often.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review The Karate Kid (2010) 67% 3/10 EDIT “A cliched and predictable script mixed with the miscasting of Jaden Smith make The Karate Kid a pretty dull film. Stick with the original.” – We Got This Covered Nov 9, 2013 Full Review
