It may be an imperfect re-envisioning of the best-selling novel, but Fincher shows why he is one of the most technically-gifted filmmakers of his generation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Widows (2018)

  • McQueen, Steve
  • 2018, Steve McQueen, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

Steve McQueen tackling the heist-thriller genre is certainly worth seeing, but while it is a well-made effort, it is sometimes too convoluted for its own good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

  • Tarantino, Quentin
  • 2003, Quentin Tarantino, USA
  • 8 Comments

Tarantino delivers a bloody entertaining ride amid some slight pacing problems – and a loving homage to the samurai film and Hong Kong kungfu cinema.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

  • Tarantino, Quentin
  • 2004, Quentin Tarantino, USA
  • 3 Comments

4.5 stars

With more dramatic substance than Vol. 1, Vol. 2 shows that Tarantino has an unparalleled gift for dialogue and a sharp cinematic eye.

Django Unchained (2012)

  • Tarantino, Quentin
  • 2012, Quentin Tarantino, USA
