Run Time: 1:40
U.S. Release Date: 2020-11-13
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Comedy
Director: Eshom Nelms, Ian Nelms
Cast: Mel Gibson, Walton Goggins, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Chance Hurstfield, Robert Bockstael

There are indications the filmmakers think they’re operating in the realm of satire but the movie gets lost in action/thriller territory that’s anything but thrilling.

Run Time: 1:54
U.S. Release Date: 2020-11-06
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Thomas Bezucha
Cast: Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lesley Manville, ...

The second half, when the thriller elements kick into high gear, is considerably better than the dour, meandering first half.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Horror

Ultimately feels like just another in a long line of disposable, unmemorable kid-in-danger PG-13 horror films, of which there are too many.

U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-23
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Jason Woliner
Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Maria Bakalova

As a piece of political satire, "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" is a hit-and-miss affair but, on those occasions when it draws blood, it does so with relish.

Run Time: 1:46
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-22
MPAA Rating: "PG" (Disturbing Images)
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Cast: Jahzir Bruno, Octavia Spencer, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Chris Rock

A forgettable, pre-fabricated movie in the "Goosebumps" tradition.

Run Time: 2:01
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-21
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Sexual Content, Adult Themes)
Genre: Thriller/Mystery
Director: Ben Wheatley
Cast: Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Sam Riley, Ann Dowd

A decade from now, Wheatley’s "Rebecca" will have faded from the memory, entirely eclipsed by Hitchcock’s interpretation.

Run Time: 1:39
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-16
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Mark Williams
Cast: Liam Neeson, Kate Walsh, Jai Courtney, Jeffrey Donovan, Anthony Ramos, Robert Patrick

A tedious, overlong embarrassment that not even Liam Neeson’s craggy countenance can save.

The movie is both important in what it’s saying about freedom and democracy and enjoyable in its presentation of those themes.

Run Time: 1:30
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-13
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror
Director: Zu Quirke
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Madison Iseman, Jacques Colimon, Ivan Shaw, Ji Eun Hwang

Although missing opportunities to present a memorable production, this doesn’t demand much from its audience and, in the process, delivers something unsettling.

"Juvenile" is too sophisticated a word to describe this dumber-than-dumb, unfunnier-than-unfunny comedy.
