‘Killer’s Game’ Is A Cheat
A movie like The Killer’s Game seems too be like someone took elements of movies like John Woo’s The Killer, the John Wick movies, and Boss Level and decided to make your standard one-hour and 45-minute action comedy. It’s one of those movies that seems to exist in a world where hired hitmen get paidContinue reading “‘Killer’s Game’ Is A Cheat”
‘A Real Pain’ Is Kind Of A Bore And Painful To Watch
There are some actors who seem to constantly play the same type of character over and over mainly because it’s a reflection of how they are in real life. Jesse Eisenberg is one of those actors.

‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Needs Repentance
I was a big fan of the original run of Dexter. Even when the series ran off the rails those last few seasons, I was still tuning in.
