Mercy (2026) Whang Yee Ling Swipe left. This flashy cyber thriller squanders its provocative premise.
Posted Jan 29, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Send Help (2026) John Lui Raimi’s trademark gore and slapstick, while well executed, cannot salvage a film undermined by weak writing that makes rooting for the victim impossible.

4/5
Rental Family (2025) Joanne Soh Though predictable and slow-moving at times, Rental Family is an amiable tale about the significance of human connection.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Whang Yee Ling The movie keeps viewers on edge through its every – occasionally, improbably humorous – minute.

4/5
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) John Lui This disaster-movie sequel places family bonds and moral integrity over spectacle, earning its emotional beats.
Posted Jan 14, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Goodbye June (2025) Whang Yee Ling The sterling ensemble renders watchable a middling melodrama that is far beneath what its members are capable of.
Posted Jan 10, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Eden (2024) Whang Yee Ling The Survivor reality series has never been so luridly entertaining.
Posted Jan 10, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Escape from the Outland (2025) John Lui Although marred by unsubtle preachiness about China’s mission to build roads and cell towers in Africa, it offers a fast-paced, unflinching look at the horrors awaiting civilians and foreigners held for ransom by warlords.
Posted Jan 10, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Back to the Past (2025) John Lui This is a nostalgia-driven cash grab with bad digital effects, but its silly energy will appeal to fans of the original television series and more than a few supporters of Hong Kong action cinema.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
The Housemaid (2025) John Lui Sweeney’s one-note performance nearly sinks this psychological thriller, but the project is pulled from the brink by Seyfried’s scene-stealing performance and director Feig’s smart choices.
Posted Jan 05, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
The Great Flood (2025) Whang Yee Ling An impressive apocalyptic spectacle ends up drowning in over-ambition.
Posted Dec 30, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Anaconda (2025) Whang Yee Ling This genre send-up is absurd and affectionate with bonus surprise cameos.
Posted Dec 30, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) John Lui The third Knives Out murder mystery is a layered locked-room mystery which respects faith and reason while exposing religious manipulation.
Posted Dec 30, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Jay Kelly (2025) Whang Yee Ling This indulgent showcase for its silver fox leading man is pleasing enough.
Posted Dec 18, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Die My Love (2025) Whang Yee Ling Lawrence is gobsmacking in the mother of all performances.
Posted Dec 18, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Joanne Soh Do not expect Cameron to inject any freshness into the story or characters, but he will take you on an extraordinary three-hour visual expedition.
Posted Dec 18, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Under Current (2025) Joanne Soh Under Current’s strong cast saves it from being dragged down, proving that the oldies are still the goldies.
Posted Dec 12, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Left-Handed Girl (2025) Whang Yee Ling A homecoming for the director, this is an intimate drama alive to its places and people.
Posted Dec 12, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Eternity (2025) Whang Yee Ling Classic screwball romance gets a heavenly revival, sweet and sincere.
Posted Dec 12, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Caught Stealing (2025) Whang Yee Ling The violence is screwball yet shockingly brutal, and Hank, in Butler’s charismatic performance, is a sweet-natured loser who feels real pain.
Posted Dec 03, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
After the Hunt (2025) Whang Yee Ling The talking-point drama is two hours of high-brow talk with little point to make on issues that are already dated.
Posted Dec 03, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) John Lui Zootopia 2 is also dense with references to animal movies, another element aimed at keeping older viewers engaged, if the many cameo voices fail to do so.
Posted Dec 03, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
Keeper (2025) Whang Yee Ling This modern folklore is a lot of eeriness in search of a story.
Posted Dec 03, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Nobody (2025) John Lui The story of four ne’er-do-wells, armed with dreams but not much smarts, operates on several comedic levels.
Posted Dec 03, 2025Edit critic review

Posted Nov 24, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Whang Yee Ling This is a belated threequel nobody asked for and yet, it is surprisingly pleasing, having the pranksters back.
Posted Nov 24, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) John Lui Haters of musicals will find the 137-minute runtime a test of patience, but the story’s visual splendour, strong lead performances and sincere take on friendship and liberation sell the package.
Posted Nov 24, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Hybrid Storm (2025) Whang Yee Ling It is the same old story, but as serviceable genre entertainment, it will do.
Posted Nov 22, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Frankenstein (2025) Whang Yee Ling The Creature here is a finely played specimen. It is the movie itself, this grandiose Gothic spectacle, that lumbers.
Posted Nov 14, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
The Running Man (2025) John Lui The goodwill earned by strong action and sharp satire is almost cancelled out by a needlessly twisty, overstuffed finale.
Posted Nov 14, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Predator: Badlands (2025) John Lui Trachtenberg’s bold reinvention of the franchise makes the Predator a relatable antihero with genuine emotion.
Posted Nov 10, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Whang Yee Ling A literary and cultural landmark returns in yet another incarnation, still weaving a densely layered spell.
Posted Nov 10, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Bugonia (2025) John Lui Lanthimos’ latest work asks who is selling the bigger lie – the bigwig with her polished spin or the tinfoil-hat believers convinced she is from outer space.

Posted Nov 04, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) John Lui The cautionary tale about nuclear weapons flops as a thriller because its repetitive structure kills suspense and its worldview reduces geopolitics to a cartoon.
Posted Nov 04, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Whang Yee Ling It is a sinking feeling, seeing what has become of a promising high-seas murder mystery.
Posted Oct 22, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Roofman (2025) Whang Yee Ling This caper is a mix of hijinks, humour and heart as improbable as the charming anti-hero.

TRON: Ares (2025) John Lui Tron: Ares neuters its own action by bringing killer AI into the real world, while keeping the bloodless and toothless PG rating.

Steve (2025) Whang Yee Ling As fun as detention, but this classroom drama pays worthy tribute to the dedication of educators.
Posted Oct 15, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
Sons of the Neon Night (2025) John Lui Hong Kong writer-director Juno Mak’s ambition cannot be faulted, but his execution can be.
