    Death of a Unicorn

    ★★½

    Another eat the rich story, but this one is rather trite and basic in its approach. The comedy has some chuckles, largely thanks to Will Poulter giving it his all as always. But mainly, it feels like they relied on the actors to bring the laughs over the script.

    Harrison Ford got the best arc to the point that the movie sometimes feels more like his, but he showed the fuck up to work. Mackie’s Cap lacks a meaningful arc beyond, ‘hero learning what kind of hero they wanna…

    One of Them Days

    ★★★½

    An old school comedy that is consistently funny, but not often laugh out loud. The leads carry the movie with a great dynamic that makes them endearing. Solid heart at the center of a story that could’ve been tighter.
