Genre-hopping shifts into high gear with director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive. The style switch-up is as violently guttural as a Sam Peckinpah flick and as steely-eyed as Jean-Pierre Melville’s handling of exaggerated exchanges, and yet, ...
Today, remakes are an epidemic, so it might come as a surprise to some folk who turned this 80s gangster flick into a revered cult hit that it is, in fact, a remake. Unlike a lot of today’s unnecessary re-dos, Brian De Palma’s contemporizing of...
Based on Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ novel The Feather Men, Killer Elite brazens across the screen with three leading men- Jason Statham, Clive Owen, Robert De Niro - in one action-packed movie. Unfortunately, it doesn’t ...

The coldness of director Matthijs van Heijningen’s remake/reboot/whatever you want to call it of The Thing isn’t due to its icy Norwegian camp setting (although, even the obvious is taken for granted here). It’s the paper-thin characters ...
