Oscar Isaac

'When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best'...the film has all the substance, visual appeal, and excitement of a Hallmark card.

A stylish genre exercise...one might just as well say the L.A. story unfolds at the corner of Michael Mann and David Lynch.

Just remember, kids, you’re not paranoid if they’re really out to get you…or your movie dollars.

An unsettling examination of moral drift, over a year in the life of a man and a generation in the life of a country.

[SPOILER-FREE] Can be dimwittedly obvious and self-plagiarizing, with little of real-world consequence and less that’s new to say [but it's still] a fun-filled adventure at the movies...

For all its failings, including the crime of not being exhilarating, X-Men: Apocalypse remains a competent sci-fi actioner.

[SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:] Johnson sticks with the Star Wars house style and seems pleased to have the opportunity to inspire children with this story of overcoming inner conflict to become one’s best self, the key ingredient being hope.

A functional spy thriller and, more importantly, an intriguing character study of two men shaped by hatred.

Memorable moments come from its series of penetrating philosophical conversations... Dafoe expertly plays the keenness of Van Gogh's intellect and creativity against his searing drive, his raw emotions, and the haunting that was his depression.

[SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:] If Abrams has topped himself, it's by making a Star Wars film that's even more of a multiplex-filling Hollywood widget than his first.
