‘Malcolm & Marie’ Review: A Promising Premise With Disappointing Results
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.

A self proclaimed straight man (Bob) left the entire production. His reason being is this and I quote, "THIS IS JUST WAY TOO INTENSE! EVEN FOR ME GUYS." No matter how hard we tried to keep him there, he would not stay. Even though we were sad and pissed, we decided to keep going.
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.
You've heard the phrase “If looks could kill,” but have you heard “If dancing could kill?” Pretty Lethal takes that idea and runs with it.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
It doesn’t offer an absolute answer for the dialectical ethical questions that emerged in search of justice but portrays the characters as living people beyond the identities of victims.
Adam Sandler goes hard as an NBA scout in this male-heavy sports-drama.
