    The Boondock Saints

    ★★★★

    - A movie about devout Irish hitmen, their questionable crusade, and the detective responsible for finding them. Although it may not be the most polished movie, its charm is not remiss. 
    - Detective Paul Smecker, played by Dafoe, is a standout feature of this film. Dafoe’s distinct ability to fully become the character makes his development and performance an absolute treat to watch.
    - Despite its slow start, Boondock Saints displays a great deal of artistry in its directing. Troy…

    Where the Crawdads Sing

    ★★★

    - Where the Crawfords Sing is a movie about a murder, a girl who lives alone in the marshes, and the preconceptions of the people in her town

    - The Cohan Brother’s philosophy of film making is evident through this…

    The Gentlemen

    ★★★★★

    - A movie about blackmail and drug lords that keeps the audience guessing and the characters busy, this film marries the charm of Snatch with the story telling of Reservoir Dogs, and the irrefutable charm of Matthew McConaughey. Perfectly. 
    - The acting throughout the movie is phenomenal, with Collin Farrell (Coach) and Charlie Hunnum’s (Ray) respective characters and chemistry being standout. 
    - Coach is a colourful and disciplined martial arts coach, whose boys get him mixed up in the main…
