Back in the early 90s, the emergence of Quentin Tarantino sparked a mini-boom in crime thrillers, some good (Natural Born Killers), some less so (The Boondock Saints). Based on the novel Gun Monkeys, this new Pierce Brosnan vehicle is a throwback to that era in almost every way possible – and that’s largely at the root of what’s both good and bad about it.We open with a flash-forward to a motor-vehicle graveyard in Florida where Brosnan, AKA hitman Charlie Swift, is hanging about looking shifty. An unseen antagonist…

After months of online speculation, writer-director Alex Garland’s button-pushing thriller Civil War has premiered at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.The film imagines what America would look like in the midst of full-scale civil war with broken supply lines, abandoned highways and a national military cleaved into opposing factions. Set to be released during a fractious election year, it shows a dystopian near future in which the US is riven by military conflict from within.Civil War, starring Kirsten Dunst and…

Depending on your age and perspective, you may or may not have fond memories of the three Rambo films. Where the first one was rather circumspect about America’s role in Vietnam, the sequels went all in on a might-is-right jingoism that combined adrenaline-infused action, rippling muscles and improbable set pieces with deeply queasy politics. New Hindi action-movie Yodha is cut from similar cloth.We’re introduced to our hero, Arun (Sidharth Malhotra) as a young boy who worships his soldier father, who is then promptly…

This intriguing sci-fi thriller is a throwback to the kind of cerebral teleplays and low-budget movies that flourished in the 1960s: ripe with gloomy lighting and dystopian pessimism, but with barely enough money in the budget to pay for more than two sets. Think On the Beach from 1959, or Seconds from 1966 – but then lower your expectations because it’s not anywhere in their league. But it’s not bad, and the subject is timely.The time is a couple of decades in the future, and humanity has accepted that we’ve messed up…

The Lakers desperately held on to a late lead against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, their primary closer in street clothes because of a sore ankle.They had weathered bulldozing drives from Giannis Antetokounmpo. They’d handled flurries from Damian Lillard. And, on the back of an incredible D’Angelo Russell heater, they were in an every-possession-matters game with the Bucks deep into the fourth.But Antetokounmpo drilled a jumper. And then Lillard hit a three-pointer (and got another point at the foul line), forcing the…

NEW YORK (AP) — When we first meet the hero of Guy Ritchie's new Netflix series, he's not exactly what you'd expect from a Guy Ritchie hero. He's a peacekeeper for the United Nations, under orders to de-escalate tensions. Can that really last, this being a Guy Ritchie series? Doubtful. HT Image “The Gentlemen,” a captivating mix of menacing thriller, satire, soap opera, gangster caper and absurdist humor, will eventually have blood splashing on walls, but it delights in the promise of violence more than the…

The crowd cheered unusually loud, at least relative to how it normally sounds for successful free throws in the second quarter.But this particular free throw from Anthony Davis with 2:49 left in the first half earned a semi-sarcastic roar. The Lakers had tied the game, ending a healthy stretch where they trailed the Washington Wizards, one of the NBA’s worst teams in a half-hearted effort.The crowd went silent much later Thursday night after another free throw, this one from Washington’s Tyus Jones, tied the game in the…

As hard as it is to believe, 13 Going on 30, one of the best rom-coms of all time, will turn 20 years old in April 2024. But what’s not so hard to believe is the fact that Mark Ruffalo, whose character looked like he would rather have his eyes gouged than show off his moves in the iconic “Thriller” sequence, wasn’t really about the dance life in the Jennifer Garner classic. But why did the Poor Things star and Marvel Cinematic Universe mainstay have such a rotten time and why did he almost quit because of it? Well, let’s…
