Movie Reviews

Director David S.F. Wilson’s passable Valiant Comics adaptation “Bloodshot” (Columbia) mostly avoids gore, but its protagonist’s drive for revenge.

Director Craig Zobel’s parable “The Hunt” (Universal) offers clever commentary on contemporary political and cultural divisions in the United States.

In keeping with the song and book from which it takes its title, nondenominational affirmations of faith permeate the fact-based romantic drama “I Still Believe” (Lionsgate), making the film congenial fare for Christians of various stripes.

New movie “Sema,” — Swahili for “Speak Out” — screened March 8, depicts Congolese rape survivors and illustrates the scope of the issue of sexual violence in Congo.

The reasons the church continues to honor the Apostle of Ireland more than 1,500 years after his death shine forth in the film “I Am Patrick,” a docudrama screening in theaters for two nights only, March 17 — St. Patrick’s Day — and March 18.

Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck), the protagonist of the sports drama “The Way Back” (Warner Bros.), can surely relate to a crazy mixture of heartbreak and joy, despair and hope, death and life, weakness and redemption.

“Emma” (Focus) is a delightful screen version of Jane Austen’s classic novel, lovely to look at and abounding in gentle humor.

A fervent performance from Elisabeth Moss drives writer-director Leigh Whannell’s remarkably absorbing monster movie “The Invisible Man” (Universal).
