The Wrecking Crew (2026) 79% EDIT “The crux of the movie is how well Bautista and Momoa fire off each other once Jonny returns to his roots in Hawai’i... The action stars may not be great actors in the classical sense but they are more than competent and acquit themselves well.” – Variety Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Dead to Rights (2025) 100% EDIT “Performances are excellent across the board, but the standout is Harashima (the son of Chinese and Japanese parents) for his delicately understated portrayal of a non-combatant soldier documenting appalling crimes against humanity. ” – Variety Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Tanna (2015) 93% EDIT “Elegantly edited by Tania Michel Nehme and performed with conviction by actors who’d never seen a film or a movie camera before, the pic is a stirring tribute to the power of love.” – Variety Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Valiant One (2025) 29% EDIT “An unpretentious B-movie made with A-grade effort, Valiant One packs decent action and mostly sturdy drama into the tale of U.S. soldiers whose mission near the DMZ goes haywire and leaves them stranded in North Korea. ” – Variety Jan 31, 2025 Full Review The Prosecutor (2024) 94% EDIT “As a Donnie Yen vehicle that showcases the star’s still-amazing physical skills and moves at a pacy clip for almost two hours, “The Prosecutor” has the storytelling energy and visual panache to smooth over the rough spots. ” – Variety Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Abang Adik (2023) EDIT “The mightily impressive first feature written and directed by renowned producer Jin Ong will move many viewers to tears.” – Variety Nov 20, 2024 Full Review 100 Yards (2023) 82% EDIT “Action fans simply seeking top-drawer wushu combat should be satisfied, but general viewers may grow impatient with a repetitive plot that struggles to deliver compelling human drama from its promising elements. ” – Variety Nov 5, 2024 Full Review 11 Rebels (2024) 90% EDIT “11 Rebels has just the right balance of spectacular swordplay, revenge-fueled drama and double-crossing political intrigue.” – Variety Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Invisible Nation (2023) 80% EDIT “Taiwan’s transformation from an authoritarian state to a flourishing democracy determined to decide its own future is charted in the engrossing and highly informative documentary “Invisible Nation.”” – Variety Jan 21, 2024 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% EDIT “Much of the personal drama is serious and heartfelt but Yamazaki always remembers we’re in B-movie monster land, just not too campy this time around.” – Variety Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Furies (2023) 82% EDIT “Despite a routine plot and some abrasive tonal shifts, this tale... is packed with exciting action and boasts fine performances from four killers bound by blood, bullets and all manner of deadly weapons.” – Variety Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Full River Red (2023) 94% EDIT “With a twist-packed plot to match its labyrinthine location, Zhang’s fast-paced film motors along nicely as an engaging “Knives Out”-style whodunnit before stumbling a little in the protracted final act.” – Variety Mar 18, 2023 Full Review The Price We Pay (2022) 53% EDIT “What this tale of crooks holed up at a lonely farm with a hideous secret lacks in originality it makes up for with energetic direction by Ryuhei Kitamura (“Midnight Meat Train”), excellent practical gore effects and strong performances...” – Variety Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Shin Ultraman (2022) 94% EDIT “Tongue-in-cheek but never campy, “Shin Ultraman” is an object lesson in how to reboot a superhero franchise for modern times.” – Variety Jan 3, 2023 Full Review Satan's Slaves: Communion (2022) 100% EDIT “Serves up suspense, scares and gallows humor with considerable style.” – Variety Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Ticket to Paradise (2022) 56% EDIT “While far from a classic of its kind, this is likely to be just the “Ticket” for general viewers relishing the chance to watch Roberts and Clooney trade poisonous barbs, before being struck by Cupid’s arrow all over again.” – Variety Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Blue Island (2022) 89% EDIT ““Blue Island” balances its unavoidably sobering picture of the current political landscape with uplifting testimony of individuals determined to preserve the spirit of Hong Kong, no matter what the future holds.” – Variety Jul 27, 2022 Full Review The Shepherdess and the Seven Songs (2020) 93% EDIT “Folklore, feminism and film noir come together in Pushpendra Singh’s meticulously crafted fourth feature “The Shepherdess and the Seven Songs.”” – Variety Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Silver Bird and Rainbow Fish (2022) EDIT “Lei Lei’s idiosyncratic chronicle of his family’s eventful history is visually captivating and emotionally rewarding.” – Variety Feb 5, 2022 Full Review The Plains (2022) 100% EDIT “"The Plains" achieves the not inconsiderable feat of making three hours of viewing fly by in what feels like half the time.” – Variety Jan 31, 2022 Full Review The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021) 36% EDIT “For all the money spent and pyrotechnics unleashed, this collectively directed and filmed movie about the glory of collective effort and suffering in attaining military success never attains the grandeur it strives for.” – Variety Dec 27, 2021 Full Review Europa (2021) 92% EDIT “A gripping drama that takes viewers as close as they would ever want to come to the real-life experiences of those willing to risk everything in the quest for safety and security.” – Variety Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom (2019) 98% EDIT “Donji's screenplay finds an ideal balance of gentle humor and life-affirming drama.” – Variety Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Freda (2021) EDIT “Personal and political life in Haiti are brought sharply into focus in "Freda," a powerful and resolutely unsentimental drama...” – Variety Dec 20, 2021 Full Review Hail, Driver! (2020) EDIT “This low-key tale about an unlicensed taxi driver and a disillusioned sex worker is light on plot but rewarding as a commentary on class distinctions and cultural divides in contemporary Malaysia.” – Variety Dec 18, 2021 Full Review
