Silverton Siege (2022) 71% EDIT “Finally, here’s something from Netflix that we can get behind. Silverton Siege is a worthy follow-up project to the efforts displayed in the well-constructed docuseries about the late footballer Senzo Meyiwa.” – City Press (South Africa) Apr 28, 2022 Full Review Da 5 Bloods (2020) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Da 5 Bloods is a war-time film that gives this genre a much-needed shot of melanin. This is the story of the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of the black men who were bundled into uniforms...” – City Press (South Africa) Jul 10, 2020 Full Review Just Mercy (2019) 85% 3/5 EDIT “A time or two you may find the sides of your eyes stinging. Just Mercy is a great film, that is, if you're emotionally and mentally ready for it.” – City Press (South Africa) Feb 21, 2020 Full Review The Irishman (2019) 95% 5/5 EDIT “This movie gave me my most enjoyable three and a half hours by far.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Creed (2015) 95% EDIT “Placing focus on the young Creed allows Jordan to breathe his youthful talents into the film. He successfully carries the weight of being the main focal point.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 8, 2020 Full Review The Boss Baby (2017) 53% EDIT “The film's strength is Baldwin, who kills it in this movie and his comedic timing clearly shines through.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review The Fate of the Furious (2017) 67% EDIT “This new joint is dark, no-nonsense and butt-kicking - thanks mainly to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Vin Diesel and Jason Statham.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Sleepless (2017) 25% EDIT “Director Baran Odar does well with this feature, and even gets an acceptable performance out of T.I.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) 85% EDIT “The fresh part about this is the soundtrack. Man, old-school bangers and nostalgia in the air. An interesting dynamic between Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and her long-lost sister Nebula (Karen Gillan) injects an entertaining sibling rivalry.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Bypass (2019) EDIT “Bypass is both entertaining and educational.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) 16% EDIT “Transformers: The Last Knight is cleverly directed by action-movie king Michael Bay - the CGI isn't abused in every scene and the cast is probably the best it's ever been.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Apparently the actors are actually singing - that's impressive. But it doesn't save the movie from its high level of lameness though.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Infinity War challenges aspects of this genre that we have come to expect and it will leave you stunned.” – Channel24 (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) 69% 3/5 EDIT “Solo is a decent movie, and you'll learn the origin of one of the most important characters in the Star Wars universe - Han Solo.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Alpha (2018) 80% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hughes uses a lot of long shots, showing just the silhouettes on screen and it's a striking effect... I also enjoyed how very little script there is in this.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 3, 2020 Full Review The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Besides a few subtle morals such as loyalty and friendship, this was just kid-friendly cuteness and well-imagined work.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Avengers: Endgame (2019) 94% 2/5 EDIT “You would think they would go back to a time when Thanos was young and vulnerable and off him. They opt for a more intricate approach, which bored me.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Serena (2016) 3.5/5 EDIT “The film does well to avoid the reality TV template that this genre crashes into at times. The artful insertion of her voice as narration over moments during a game really drives home her state of mind - that of a winner.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Black and Blue (2019) 49% 3/5 EDIT “It was impressive to see what director Deon Taylor could conjure up when he isn't playing the upstanding Luke Cage on Netflix. Films that take place over a day or two always seem more exciting.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Dolemite Is My Name (2019) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Dolemite Is My Name is such a well-put-together film and reports are that the depictions of the people involved in the unorthodox making of the original are spot on.” – City Press (South Africa) Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) 72% 1/5 EDIT “There are a few differences from last time, all of which are stupid.” – City Press (South Africa) Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% EDIT “Audiences are getting wiser to the tricks used and the envelope will have to be pushed even further by film creators everywhere, in order to do this.” – City Press (South Africa) Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Joker (2019) 68% 4/5 EDIT “For me, The Joker is one of the top features released this year.” – City Press (South Africa) Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Rambo: Last Blood (2019) 26% 1/5 EDIT “This is the worst film I've seen this year.” – City Press (South Africa) Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Back of the Moon (2019) 4/5 EDIT “I found this film to be the most refreshing local content I have encountered all year.” – City Press (South Africa) Sep 19, 2019 Full Review
