This movie keeps it fresh through Hayley Atwell’s Grace, and the other characters that drive the twists and thrills of Dead Reckoning: Part One.

Are Movies About to Implode?
I can’t predict the movie market for you. But what I can tell you is that things can’t go the way they’re going now. Or else movies will implode.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
There are so many ways the second act and the theme could’ve been stronger. Two great movies have been followed up by an “ok” one at best.

Supercop
The story doesn’t really matter. Because the point of Supercop is to see some of the craziest stunts and fights you’ll ever see in your whole life.
