«Ben Affleck directs a claustrophobic thriller where money cannot buy freedom, only the absolute certainty of failure.»
Jesse McKeown delivers a tale of geographic isolation disguised as a sea monster that barely manages to stay afloat in Under the Surface.

A scathing critique dissecting James Wan's horror, oscillating between effective scares and scripts that get lost in the darkness.
Snatch revisited with sarcasm: Ritchie blows up clichés, Brad Pitt insists on an impossible accent, and the audience pays €9.50 for a mountain of noise and style.

A descent into the abyss of the human condition—bring a vomit bag and a therapist on standby
Roman Polanski delivers a technical knockout to film noir: flawless script, Nicholson in a state of grace, and an ending that stings worse than a liver shot. Masterpiece or dirty fight?
Scorsese films a three-hour orgy where capitalism celebrates itself. DiCaprio shines, but the script reeks of self-satisfaction. Critique or apology?
Scorsese and DiCaprio play Hitchcock dress-up, but end up in an asylum of clichés and mothball-scented twists. Masterpiece or pretentious style exercise?
A scathing review of *Blue Velvet*, David Lynch’s film that drags you kicking and screaming into the rot beneath suburbia’s manicured lawns.
