Ambulance Movie Review
The action is relentless and you best not have vertigo as the overuse of drone footage will turn your stomach into knots. There is also an almost complete lack of believability in the reality of what takes place on the screen. Criminal laws are broken by the characters and physics laws by the director.

The action is set during a Los Angeles bank robbery gone wrong. This leads to a chase scene that lasts 90% of the film’s running time. Its outrageousness brings ...

Morbius Movie Review
Jared Leto plays the Michael in question and he puts his method-acting chops to good use. The inner conflict of Morbius, being a vampire but one who has a strong sense of right or wrong plays large in his characterisation. His efforts in keeping the blood lust at bay make his actions relatable.
//
We get to see the doc’s story from a very young age when he buddies up with Milo played as an adult by Matt Smith. They both suffer from a rare blood disease and this ...
The Duke Movie Review
The film starts when his protest against the TV levee that the government inflicted back in the sixties lands him in jail where he does time. Broadbent is perfectly cast as the heart of gold Bunton as is the always impeccable Helen Mirren as his long-suffering wife Dorothy. His activities escalate until he is accused of stealing a portrait of the Duke of Wellington by the Spanish painter Goya.
//
Bunton is so unassuming and eccentric that even with a country-wide ...
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Movie Review
This sequel ramps things up considerably and loses sight of what made the first edition so charming. It was always going to be silly and that’s not necessarily a deterrent to having fun. It just now feels bloated and trying too hard to be entertaining.
//
There are some amusing gags and enjoyable homages to classic films like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Raiders of the Lost Ark but it never comfortably finds its comic groove. The visuals have been elevated at the ...
