July 05, 2024 16:19 IST

Fast Charlie movie review: Pierce Brosnan, Morena Baccarin make it worthwhile
May 31, 2024 18:38 IST
What makes Fast Charlie better is Marcie (a very, very good Morena Baccharin), in what is essentially a tagged-on role as the ex-wife of one of the killed gangsters. In Baccharin’s hands, and her warm eyes and enigmatic smile, the film goes beyond a ’90s mob flick to promise its two main leads a future.

May 11, 2024 00:48 IST

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie review: Unceasingly grim film treads familiar ground
May 10, 2024 16:34 IST
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie review: Even granted the technical finesse, it is all a bit too familiar now. From one film to the other, we can bet that either apes will have the upper hand, or the humans, with only snatches of detente in between.
