Sundance Review: “Wind River”
“Wind River” is a story of savagery, loneliness, and slow burning pursuit.
“Live By Night”
“Live By Night” isn’t rotten, it’s simply forgettable.
“Sleepless”
“Sleepless” is essentially a bad cop chase movie set inside a Las Vegas casino.
“Miss Sloane”
This story sounds like something that could be ripped from the headlines and it works as a satisfying, intelligent, adult political thriller for the most part.
“Underworld: Blood Wars”
There isn’t much substance here but “Underworld: Blood Wars” provides enough fun escapism for a couple of hours.
