No Escape

I feared this action thriller would be very by-the-numbers and thus boring, but it actually had some bite to it. There are two scenes in particular, both involving the children of the family, that really had me shaking and holding back a scream. It was well-paced, well directed, and avoided most of the preaching I also feared might happen. I enjoyed this, well done. 4/5

The World's End

I was far more interested in the movie it started as than what it became - a lost opportunity I think. 3/5

Salvation Boulevard

This half black comedy & half mystery is intriguing & paced well but never really captured my interest. 3/5

The Greatest

A saccharine pile of crap I've seen done better a dozen time. I really expected more from these actors. 2/5
