The Merry Gentlemen (2024)

A group of criminal animals tries their best to reform themselves into good citizens to avoid serving time in prison.

'City of God' depicts the cylindrical cycle of violence that is forced upon the underprivileged.

Essentially 'Get Out' but for white women, 'Don't Worry Darling' has strong material with its twist reveal, but the writing and directing falter trying to execute it.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
