Avoiding spoilers here, but Intrusion has a mystery at its heart that is so eye-gougingly obvious, I spent most of the movie wondering if I was supposed to be five steps ahead of the main character or not. Was I … Continue reading
Copshop opens with a snappy, energetic feel with cool music and visuals. I thought this was going to be a fun time at the movies within the first minute. And, hey, for the most part it was. But it was … Continue reading
