Fast & Furious 7 (aka Furious 7) movie review: head-on vehicular hard-on
Too long, too convoluted, too sentimental, and too ridiculous. Some will say those are its good points. Will they embrace the homoeroticism too?

Piles of noirish exposition get the better of Jason Statham in this unpleasantly retrograde crime drama. What happened in Vegas should have stayed there.

In the vast conspiracy of stupidity that has overtaken pop culture, the disparagement of this movie by a film critic becomes an endorsement of a sad sort.

Jason Statham teams up with another badass little girl… which makes him almost warm and charming as he kicks the crap out of villains.

So, even though this opens in the U.S. and Canada tomorrow, I am embargoed from posting my review till next Monday…

Some of it is hilariously awful, and some is just plain awful. But Statham’s attempt to be taken seriously as an actor is honest, at least.

Except Jason Statham has a friend who’s a nun here, so this will be more arty than the usual Jason Statham film. Or I can hope, anyway.
Oh, look: Jason Statham has a new movie. Or maybe it’s an old one. I can’t tell.
What this dumb movie wants you to find absolutely hilarious is random 80s action heroes — this flick is lousy with ’em — now puffy with age and sporting embarrasingly bad dye jobs popping up in deus ex actioner situations…

A viciously cynical dark fantasy that fashions a new mythos of post-9/11 New York, a bleak but plausible world of the Russian mob, the Chinese Triads, and the NYPD as another gang vying for supremacy.
