A fusion of stark brutality, underhand crimes and complex systems of political and personal power, Widows is far more just than an awards-season thriller, but a sharp and forceful indictment of corruption on every level of society. I...
It’s been eleven years since we had an Ocean’s franchise film. But consider this, we went 41 years before 2001’s Ocean’s 11 remade the original Rat Pack film. Maybe we should have waited another 30?
Good heist movies are becoming few and far between, and when they do land they're usually a smaller affair. That's what made the original Ocean's films so much fun. They were good heist films (to varying degrees) with a plethora of bi...
There were two major, mainstream heist movies released summer 2017: Logan Lucky is the one you should see.
Like his fellow Harry Potter co-stars, Robert Pattinson has long been trying to spread his proverbial wings and find roles that show off his range as an actor. He may have stumbled a bit with the Twilight series, but since then he has been ...

You know, Now You See Me wasn't a horrible film, but I didn't think it was as great as all that. I, however, am in the minority (your wish is coming true, Sean) as the movie was one of the surprise hits of the summer in a sum...
I don't watch a whole lot of heist movies. It's not that I don't like them (I do), just that they don't usually show up in my queue. As a reviewer, it can make talking in broad strokes about the genre kind of awkward, because when I say tha...
Now You See Me is the latest casino-illusionist-heist movie to grace theaters. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Ilsa Fischer, Woody Harrleson, Morgan Freeman and others, Now You See Me follows a group of magicians and illusionists who use their p...
