A mediocre sci-fi epic that uses big ideas as a stand-in for actual character development. The lack of follow-through is as maddening as it is lazy.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Smugglers”
Suffers from a mediocre script, characters that aren’t engaging, and an exhausting repetitiveness that quickly wore me down. I can see how this action caper will appeal to some, it’s just not for me.
“Seagrass”
A devastating relationship drama that exhibits a profound understanding of grief, tension, and the emotional insecurity that can undermine the foundations of a family.
“Quicksand”
What it lacks in laughs, this bromantic comedy caper more than makes up for in effort.
“No One Will Save You”
What starts out as a thrilling alien invasion story with legitimately frightening, classic horror elements flounders in a too-familiar narrative rut of trauma and healing.
“Dumb Money”
Perfectly capturing a moment in time, this story of the have-nots taking on Wall Street is a movie for the people.
