Jesse Plemons
Like Mike (2002)
Observe and Report (2009)
With admirably funkiness and bold flavor, Hill has made the anti-
Blart
...but at a time when we've seen seven mass shootings in a month, do we really need the comedy version of
Taxi Driver
?
Black Mass (2015)
Stars Depp in a performance generating awards talk, makes a complicated story coherent without dumbing it down (much), lets a bunch of strong actors do their things, and yet inspires little more than adjectives like 'efficient' and 'workmanlike.'
Hostiles (2017)
A contrived but effective parable of the American West, its painful legacy, and small measures of redemption...But our focus frustratingly remains on the white people and Blocker’s struggle to reach empathy...
Game Night (2018)
Just manages to sustain its 'is it real or is it a game?' tension through to its climactic twists.
Vice (2018)
As strikingly original in form as Oliver Stone’s
JFK
...infotaining Hollywood history that’s equal parts funny and horrifying in its high-stakes political gamesmanship...
