Black Sea

This claustrophobic thriller showcases more wonderful work from Jude Law who is at his best lately. Wonderful. 4/5

Dom Hemingway

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. This is what I've been talking about regarding Oscar nominations for actors.. "Dom Hemingway" is not a fantastic movie. It's full of plot holes and narrative drift. However, Jude Law gave the performance of his life in this. He achieved something I never thought he could, took his abilities to heights I had no idea he could reach. His portrayal of Dom was jaw-dropping in its intensity, verbosity, & wickedly black humor. This performance, and ones like it, are what should be getting Oscar nominations. This amazing, rich, darkly wonderful acting job should have given Jude Law a place at the Oscar table, and it's a crying shame that it didn't. 3.5/5

This thriller is well acted & interesting enough but utterly implausible throughout. Just a meh from me. 3/5

I love interconnected storyline films and this was exceptionally well written. Plus no one plays creepy like Ben Foster. 4/5
