Sully
Tom Hanks was fantastic as the stoic pilot turned reluctant hero whose brave decision saved hundreds of lives.
All the Way
With a unique subject matter and a bit of creative license, Director Jay Roach (Trumbo) brings us a captivating story that both enrages us and draws us in simultaneously.
Urge
In his directorial debut, Aaron Kaufman makes a few mistakes, but, overall, offers a decent view of this indulgent lifestyle.
The Light Between Oceans
With a compelling story and well-written script, The Light Between Oceans flows beautifully, barely making the audience aware it is over 2 hours long.
The Night Manager
From the first few minutes, Director Susanne Bier and Writers Le Carre and David Farr draw the audience in and keeps us captivated with an enthralling tale.
War Dogs
Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success.
11.22.63
The premise of 11.22.63 is great and interesting, and while the material is too long for a feature film, it is too short for an 8-hour mini-series.
