REVIEWS
Radio Silence has another twisted tale for audiences with ‘Abigail’, a new horror comedy that is destined for everyone’s yearly spooky-season movie rotation.
While the director has been responsible for some of the slickest action films of note, Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ is tragically and painfully average, and all things considered, doesn’t present much to warrant anything after an obligatory first watch.
Fittingly, for a movie about a journey towards a well-known and even cliched destination, ‘Hard Miles’ follows the formula to the expected end. But just like with the Grand Canyon, just because the end is predictable doesn’t mean it’s without merit.
