Nothing spectacular but still a well-produced and fun show. It strikes the balance between having an overall arc and being episodic.

Black comedy comprising 6 short stories of retribution and catharsis (by violence). Good production. Not intensely black, still enjoyable.

Mildly entertaining but meh.

Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

Philadelphia, PA – A man has been given a warning by the police after his “misuse” of the Violence Against Women Hotline. After seeing a...

Mystery with elements of a horror-thriller framed in a fairy tale–like story. Nothing bad. Just flat. Plotting and themes are a bit clumsy.

Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

Canberra, ACT – Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called for a “debate” on the control of “misogynistic” content online. “By ‘debate’, I...

Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

There are quite a few clones and derivatives of Taken since its release in 2008. Here are 35 mini-reviews.

It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

Not a bad revenge film about a young woman going after those responsible for her best friend’s death.

Robert McCall is shot and needs time to recover in a picturesque Italian town. Takes too long to build and not enough action.

A sufficiently satisfying conclusion. Despite the long runtime, it actually doesn’t drag.

Merchandizing tool as expected. Writing is surprisingly not bad, but is ultimately about the artwork.

A gritty vigilante film with Denzel Washington beating up thugs. Need I say more?

Somewhat predictable. Tries too hard to look cool at times. Good voice acting (Japanese). Not bad but nothing great. Overhyped.
