  • Blade Runner: The Director's Cut (1982)
    Review preview for Blade Runner: The Director's Cut

    This is a film whose bombast and ambition is compromised by the fact that it clearly never met an idea it didn't like.

  • The Rite (2011)

    The Remote Viewer · 5 out of 5
    Stylised graphic novel adaptation shows three men on a mission.
  • The Sisters Brothers (2018)
