Chaos Walking has a more interesting back story than the story itself. The concept is interesting but the plot muddles along and outside of a couple decent scenes and performances from Holland and Ridley, doesn’t have very much memorable going for it.

All-American Murder has a fun title harkening back to the 1990s, unfortunately the movie also harkens back to that time period of the low budget STV movies a quasi-name talent attached to draw viewers in.
The Virtuoso is one of those movies that features a main character that one wonders how he became “The Virtuoso” because he makes some dumb mistakes, one wonders how he was such a well oiled assassin.
