Dark Crimes had some potential and as a fan of these procedural murder-mysteries, this should’ve been right in my wheelhouse, but instead we get a dry and at times dull story with poor pacing; outside of Jim Carrey’s devoted performance, this is not something I could recommend.
Independence Day: Resurgence is merely the latest example of why some sequels are not necessary. Although I don’t think this was awful, and frankly outside of the President’s speech, the first one is hardly great in terms of storytelling, there really is no reason for this to existl.
Wim Wenders’ character-driven drama wants to be emotional and weighty but fails in both regards. While the performances from McAdams and Croze weren’t bad, Franco seemed to be miscast though he still does enough to make for an amiable character. The screenplay could’ve used an extra draft however all in all, I still found Every Thing Will Be Fine to be satisfyingly above average.
