Recent Quick Takes

A Special Lady (2017)

Skip It

A twisty plot, Godfather-reminiscent set pieces, and a gutsy heroine can't make up for the exploitive brutality

The Accidental Husband (2008)

Skip It

This chaotic tale of revenge and romance is too convoluted to follow and too silly to tolerate

Act of Valor (2012)

Skip It

The well staged action sequences can't make us overlook the stilted dialog and cardboard characterizations

Alien Outpost (2014)

Skip It

Another tired "advanced beings from outer space invade with WWII-level tactics." OK battle scenes, zero plot

Albert Nobbs (2011)

Skip It

A refreshingly unique tale, splendidly acted, that still leaves you unaffected and a bit adrift at the end

The Angels’ Share (2012)

Skip It

A feel-good comedy that strains a little too much to be cute and cuddly
