    ★★★

    It's fine, but honestly the thing I have the biggest issue with is McKenna Grace getting 4th billing... fucking bananas.

    ★★

    There's a lot I thought I would have to say about this movie, but in the end, it is a fairly generic take on the final girl trope.

    - Robin Wright and Angela Bassett were criminally underused, which felt like a huge misstep.
    - The costuming was underwhelming.
    - Some real videogame-style VFX shots that should have been done better.
    - Nick Robinson was also in the movie...

    Brendan Gleeson dominates as an actor and has few equals.

    The Drop

    ★★★★½

    A simple premise of a bar, a drop location for all the ill gotten gains throughout the night and the bartender who's just trying to keep his head down, out of sight, wary of change to his routine. The Drop is like holding a long match in your fingers with hints of gunpowder. Tension throughout as you navigate this surprisingly small cast of characters. Anything more would spoil the movie for you, and you need to see this film.
