  • The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud (2010)
    Review preview for The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud

    The film is far too heavy-handed in places, especially towards the end, squandering the emotional impact provided by its early ambiguity.

  • Killing Them Softly (2012)
    Review preview for Killing Them Softly

    It's hard not to recommend Killing Them Softly as there is plenty of Tarantino-esque vim to its icy world of contracts and crims, but the mix of styles and muddled message ultimately rob the film of greatness.

    Jason Patric joins embittered detective Ray Liotta in tracking down the killer of a narcotics agent.

  • Wild Hogs (2007)
