IR Film Review: EENIE MEANIE [20th Century Studios/Hulu]
The aspect of a good heist film can work if there is stakes. Energy and chemistry says a lot but sometimes that idea can overtake the narrative (depending if it is strong enough). This is the issue with "Eenie Meanie" starring Samara Weaving as the lead Edie, a getaway car driver who is retired but gets pulled back in. The film is a bunch of fun but the one thing it does off-kilter is that it creates consequences for some but none for others.
IR Film Review: PAIN HUSTLERS [Netflix]
It is always great to see a filmmaker stretch his wings beyond his comfort zone and see what new energy he can bring to certain material. Director David Yates and his lead actress Emily Blunt have taken an inherent American but global story and gave it an energy that shows different facets.
IR Film Review: WRATH OF MAN [Miramax/MGM]
"Wrath Of Man" is a tale of revenge, more 70s action than grindhouse but with some interesting additions.
