All in Crime
Michael Roskam’s THE DROP
But it’s the characters on display here that are the real focus. Who are these people and what are they really up to? Watching the actions of the police is especially interesting. They’re the outsiders here. Everyone goes to great lengths to keep the cops at arm’s length so they can pursue their own deals.
Julius Avery's "SON OF A GUN"
A lot of thought and planning went into the production and editing and it shows.
Chad Stahelski & David Leitch’s JOHN WICK
If your weakness is revenge porn this is the movie for you!
David Ayer's END OF WATCH
I have no idea how realistic END OF WATCH is but it’s easily the best cop movie I seen in many years.
Alexa Gajic's “TECHNOTISE: EDIT & I”
Edit herself is an interesting mix of naïveté, intelligence, raw energy, and stubbornness. Why she hangs out with the losers she does is never fully explained but, taken together, they make up a very entertaining ride that has some of the most interesting technology animation this side of WALL•E.
Wong Kar-Wai's FALLEN ANGELS
One thought that popped into my mind at first about Fallen Angels was “style over substance.” That’s simplistic. Yes, there’s a ton of style here. There is also a lot of substance. It’s just that the substance is not the feel-good or warm-and-fuzzy type; at times things get really dark. How the movie is photographed supports that. But it’s a movie well worth watching.
Kang Woo-suk's MOSS
This is the review I posted on Netflix after watching this streamed Korean mystery/thriller:
Debra Granik's WINTER'S BONE
The Ozark back country depicted in this film is one that Facebook and Twitter have ignored. Or maybe it’s the other way around.
Monthon Arayangkoon's THE VICTIM
This Thai ghost story/crime thriller is convoluted, intense — and scary.
Daniel Barber's HARRY BROWN
In my book, Michael Caine can do no wrong — this vigilante movie is another example.
