The Mad Miss Manton
Funny, charming, witty; it’s a screwball crime comedy about socialites solving a murder, and maybe falling in love along the way. What more is there to say?
The Driver
Stripped to the absolute bone, this odd amalgam of muscle car thrills and arthouse aesthetics inspired a future generation of filmmakers but doesn’t quite have the oomph it used to.
Wolfs
Two likable stars recapture the energy of their past collaborations in this crime comedy, neo-noir hangout flick.
Take the Money and Run
Woody Allen’s directorial debut is comedically solid but narratively bereft.
Freebie and the Bean
This early form of the buddy cop comedy has its sensibilities stuck somewhere several decades before what a modern audience likely finds acceptable.
Bullseye!
A crime comedy whose broad and unfunny antics are a crime against comedy.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Part road trip movie, part heist movie, all pretty underwhelming.
Gunpowder Milkshake
Not just disappointingly derivative and unnecessarily gory, but also poorly written and haphazardly executed.
Hard Boiled
Style over substance, but a treat for any aficionado of gunfights in action films.
The Protege
This slick, high quality action thriller offers superb fight scenes and solid character work, but occasionally feels a bit too much like a John Wick clone.
The Cat’s Meow
A dull and disappointing stab at telling a salacious “true” story from Hollywood’s early years.
12 Angry Men
One of the best legal dramas, ever.
