A machine to kill vague people, “Whistle” never delivers on its frightful promise.

A crash-and-burn buddy action movie in a “Lethal Weapon” vein, with a bit more depth than you might expect.

A story that reaches for the stars but finds only dust.

It doesn’t always work, but Charli xcx, as ever, throws a wild party.

A labor of love by the Adams Family, a filmmaking collective, quite generous with its gore.

The film rarely lets up, but it is interested in character and environment, in mood and emotion, not just plot.

The film’s strengths lie squarely with Foy, whose performance is restrained where it should be and revelatory at some moments you don’t expect.

Gans’ sequel delivers more of the same, so it likely won’t impress anyone who doesn’t already enjoy getting lost in the fog.

“Clika” lacks the electricity and the excitement of watching a performer bring the house down.

The hair-raising narrative content notwithstanding, the movie doesn’t create much emotional traction.
