7.9/10
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Matthew Razak Sadly, you’ll leave the theater knowing that while the franchise is still on a high note, it is no longer at its best.

See How They Run (2022) Matthew Razak You can deconstruct a genre all you want but <i>See How They Run</i> forgets to build it back up.

Candyman (2021) Matthew Razak Who can take a blood bath - Sprinkle it with fear - Cover it with race and some commentary too - The Candyman - Oh, the Candyman can - The Candyman can 'Cause he mixes horror well - And makes a reboot good

Jungle Cruise (2021) Matthew Razak It is also a film carried almost entirely on the back of the charm of its stars.

5.7/10
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) Matthew Razak Space Jam: A New Legacy is anything but new as it rehashes the original film's storyline and pulls half its jokes from WB references.

7.2/10
F9 The Fast Saga (2021) Matthew Razak F9 might not be top-tier Fast & Furious, but it features all of the action and, yes, family that has propelled this franchise into the superpower that it is now.

A Quiet Place Part II (2021) Matthew Razak A Quiet Place Part II is a different beast from the original film and that's OK.

Army Of The Dead (2021) Matthew Razak Army of the Dead is sadly just not that special.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) Matthew Razak Chris Rock takes a stab at the Saw franchises but can't deliver in a movie that is messier than its bloody kills.

Wrath of Man (2021) Matthew Razak Wrath of Man injects some much-needed creativity into the genre

The Spine of Night (2021) Matthew Razak There is a definite audience for The Spine of Night and I think for that audience it is going to hit the nail squarely on the head.

Offseason (2021) Matthew Razak Offseason nails the basics.

6.7/10
Paul Dood's Deadly Lunch Break (2021) Matthew Razak There's something engrossingly charming about Meeten's performance that keeps the film going and hits the emotional notes incredibly well.

7/10
WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn (2021) Matthew Razak While the movie seems to have some glaring spots missing it does do a good job of breaking down an immensely complex situation into something digestible. The film works.

5.1/10
Lily Topples The World (2021) Matthew Razak You'd be better off watching her YouTube videos to find the true Lily Hevesh.

6/10
Violation (2020) Matthew Razak There's nothing that cathartic about Violation's revenge. No one seems to win at the end, not even the audience.
Posted Mar 19, 2021  Edit critic review
8/10
The Legend of Molly Johnson (2021) Matthew Razak Underneath (not very far at all) is a deconstruction of the western mythos, of the brave cowboy (drover), of the white-washed tales.

7.1/10
The Courier (2020) Matthew Razak What stands out about The Courier is its story is more about relationships than spycraft.

6.9/10
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Matthew Razak It's possible Zack Snyder had finally found the right balance to make the DCEU work, we'll never know now but at least we have something fun to watch.
Posted Mar 15, 2021  Edit critic review
6.6/10
Chaos Walking (2021) Matthew Razak By landing a quality director and two engaging leads, the film delivers on its quick pace and story but simply stumbles over its bigger issues.
Posted Mar 05, 2021  Edit critic review
8.4/10
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021) Matthew Razak Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a good comedy that I would have liked to watch with more people around me.

4.3/10
The Little Things (2021) Matthew Razak The casting for this film is a thin veneer over a movie that otherwise would have come and gone with little notice.
Posted Jan 28, 2021  Edit critic review
5/10
Locked Down (2021) Matthew Razak Locked Down is probably best taken as the lighter relationship film it partly wants to be instead of a moralistic study on the pandemic and society.

7.2/10
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Matthew Razak This is a superhero film meant for the big screen but trapped on a smaller one.

Soul (2020) Matthew Razak It is the perfect film at the perfect time and for that, it can get no better.

5.7/10
News of the World (2020) Matthew Razak As a Western, News of the World functions but it doesn't soar.

7.7/10
Save Yourselves! (2020) Matthew Razak Save Yourselves! would probably best be watched going in completely and totally blind off of a friend's recommendation.

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) Matthew Razak *cue air guitar sound*

Unhinged (2020) Matthew Razak In the vacuum that is our movie world Unhinged can't fade into the background and so its flaws become all the more glaring.
Posted Aug 21, 2020  Edit critic review
8.5/10
The Burnt Orange Heresy (2019) Matthew Razak The kind of movie that winds you up inch by inch in its thoughts and themes and then suddenly dumps you into the thriller you thought you were coming to in the first place.
Posted Aug 08, 2020  Edit critic review
8/10
The Secret Garden (2020) Matthew Razak The Secret Garden may have already been adapted numerous times but never in such a visually striking and imaginative way. A worthy adaptation of a classic children's story.

8.3
Palm Springs (2020) Matthew Razak It isn't, in the end, about falling in love, finding yourself, or discovering the meaning of life. Its time loop is about living life with what you've got.

5.2
The Beach House (2019) Matthew Razak The first half of the film feels fresh and new but its "surprise" erases all of that into something that feels incomplete and bog-standard.

The Old Guard (2020) Matthew Razak The Old Guard really puts to test the old saying that beggars can't be choosers or that something is better than nothing.

8/10
Blood Quantum (2019) Matthew Razak Blood Quantum is the kind of standout zombie movie that should be talked about for years to come.

Extraction (2020) Matthew Razak Extraction feels like a cliche but when there's nothing else around cliche feels awfully good.

4/10
The Rhythm Section (2020) Matthew Razak In theory, it's a promising take on a genre that is pretty much fantasy fulfillment. In practice, however, it's quite another thing.
Posted Jan 31, 2020  Edit critic review
6.5/10
Bad Boys for Life (2020) Matthew Razak Despite not quite having the same flair for action as Michael Bay, Arbi and Fallah manage to capture some of the magic of a Bay film while somehow updating it to modern-day sensibilities.

8.5/10
1917 (2019) Matthew Razak There is a specific scene where Schofield is escaping from pursuing enemy forces, lit almost entirely by flares and done in a single shot, that is basically just Roger Deakins showing off.
Posted Jan 10, 2020  Edit critic review
5/10
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Matthew Razak It is Disney running back to the safety of nostalgia, capitulating to those who didn't like the new, and releasing a movie that could only be made in a unruly attempt to please everyone.
Posted Dec 18, 2019  Edit critic review
7.5/10
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) Matthew Razak Jumanji: The Next Level takes what the first film did and turns it on its head, relying on the charms of its stars to once again deliver.

Frozen II (2019) Matthew Razak More of the same works but it is still just that.

6.5/10
Doctor Sleep (2019) Matthew Razak Everything in the last 15 minutes reminds you that this isn't The Shining and it's too bad it had to be that way. Without that reminder the film stands on its own quite well; with it the movie seems less than.
Posted Nov 08, 2019  Edit critic review
4/10
Joker (2019) Matthew Razak The last laugh of someone who simply wants to watch the world burn.
Posted Oct 02, 2019  Edit critic review
8/10
Good Boys (2019) Matthew Razak The movie, at its core, is less raunchy comedy and more childhood adventure -- think 80s Spielberg kids movies but with the drug Molly.
