MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Tiny Dancer
Weird to say, but Ballerina needs to shed John Wick from this John Wick franchise entry.
Sand Blasted
Zhang Qi’s neo-western noir-thriller Trapped comes really close to greatness.
Gettin’ It Done
Smashing Frank is Trevor Choi’s second film but first feature, and it runs on sheer will.
This Again
Yup. Another anonymously moralising thriller set in the foul depths of unnamed Southeast Asia. Why?
Karma, Bitch
Holy crap I Did It My Way has some great comedy in it. Too bad it’s accidental.
Done and Dusted
Jonathan Li reteams with producer Soi Cheang and star Gordon Lam for nihilism-lite, in Dust to Dust.
Boom, Boom, Yau
Herman Yau’s The White Storm 3: Heaven or Hell is a lot of bang for your buck. Literally. No, like everything blows up.
Best Served Old
It’s the ol’ “go back in time and kill X before Y” thing, but done really well in Tokyo Revengers – part one of three.
Another ‘Round’
Tape up your ribcage. Ma Dong-seok punches his way through the latest in the burgeoning franchise in The Roundup: No Way Out.
