When is a killer shark movie not a killer shark movie? It’s not when they hide the shark for most of the runtime… there have been killer shark movies that hide their terrible visuals and it’s still a killer shark … Continue reading
To Catch a Killer is an interesting, thoughtful, moody procedural that maybe emulates being bogged down in a case a little too well. It’s a good movie, but could have been better served with a more propulsive middle act. The … Continue reading
