Lacking the emotional punch that would’ve made it great, the film nearly nosedives into a forgettably weak entry into the crowded crime drama genre.

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”!

“Mandy”
I’ve never taken LSD but now I know what a bad acid trip must feel like thanks to the destined to become a midnight classic, “Mandy.”
“Peppermint”
This bloody vigilante revenge film may be formulaic, but it has its moments.
“Papillon”
Based on the international best-selling autobiography, the film brings the epic story of Henri “Papillon” Charrière back to the screen with a gritty and violent streak.
DVD & Streaming: September
Our recommendations for what’s new for home viewing this month.
“Searching”
“Searching” bows to average moviegoers who aren’t in the business of challenging themselves, and this movie has all the subtleties of a t.v. movie of the week.
