A competently made and acted middle-of-the-road action thriller.

“The Amateur”
Despite carrying too much narrative baggage, this revenge story is engaging and entertaining, even if not very thrilling.
“King Richard”
Will appeal to a wide audience, because who doesn’t love an inspirational underdog story with a happy ending?
“Small Engine Repair”
A provocative and profane study on brotherhood, masculinity, violence, class warfare, and the rage that stems from them all.
“The Peanut Butter Falcon”
The film flows with an independent spirit that’s smart and actually treats the audience like intellectuals.
“The Accountant”
“The Accountant” is a yawner of a movie. This supposed ‘thriller’ is far from thrilling. It’s an interesting enough premise, but the film is much too bloated to make effective use of its already thin story.
