THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see. But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?
We take a look.
Insurgent
What we know
It’s the second in the Divergent series, and main characters Tris and Four are on the run.
What the critics say
- “It’s wandering, not urgent, while indicating that all-Shailene-all-the-time can be too much of a pretty good thing.” - TIME
- “There’s no question that the feature is a leaner, meaner affair than its predecessor. That’s not enough, though, to counterbalance the often oppressive self-seriousness” - The Hollywood Reporter
What’s it rated?
- RottenTomatoes: 4.9/10
- IMDB: 6.7/10
The Gunman
What we know
Sean Penn plays an international spy who is fighting to clear his name. Based on the novel The Prone Gunman.
What the critics say
- “The Gunman is too disorganised and sloppy to make sense as political commentary or to work on the most basic level as a globe-trotting chase thriller.” - AV Club
- “It was impossible to care about any of these three characters” - JoBlo.com
What’s it rated?
- RottenTomatoes: 4.4/10
- IMDB: 5.8/10
The Voices
What we know
Ryan Reynolds plays a young guy who hears his pets talking to him… and obeys them, with deadly consequences. It’s all due to his complex psychological state.
What the critics say
- “a kind of twisted mix of romance and psychodrama… a highly unusual role for Reynolds” - Den of Geek
- “Satrapi is exploring the dark underbelly and murderous intent of even the most cheerful, seemingly happy people in society.” - RogerEbert.com
What’s it rated?
- RottenTomatoes: 6.8/10
- IMDB: 6.4/10
