Desperately wants to be a gritty, neon-soaked homage to ’80s action thrillers but the film never quite pulls it off.

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”!

“Belén”
Quietly powerful and deeply humane, this is an unflinching, urgent work of feminist cinema.
“Nuremberg”
A strikingly intelligent portrayal of one of history’s most consequential legal proceedings.
“Pistachio Wars”
A gripping exposé of corruption and environmental ruin in California’s pistachio industry.
“Orwell: 2+2=5”
Intellectually stimulating but emotionally flat, the documentary relies too much on condescending, heavy-handed commentary.
“Nika & Madison”
A timely and unsettling look at systemic racism and police brutality faced by two Indigenous women.
