No.
Even though the execution of this survival thriller is above average (music, performances, editing, all top notch), I still found myself… disengaged.
Should I Go See It?
You Ask. I Answer.

Haywire
Yes.
Soderbergh delivers a well crafted spy thriller that’s heavy on atmosphere and is filled with some riveting fight scenes courtesy of new star Gina Carano.
The Descendants
Yes.
George Clooney puts in another award worthy performance in Alexander Payne’s latest drama that follows a father dealing with his comatose wife, stressed out daughters and a life-changing business deal.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Yes.
An intense crime thriller with some amazing performances and pitch-perfect direction (what else would you expect from David Fincher?), this one is not to be missed.
Immortals
No.
This movie has a lot going for it (distinct style, gratifying action) but it lacks the emotional resonance required to make it truly memorable.
The Thing
No.
While technically a prequel, this Thing feels more like a superfluous rehash; its existence at all is unwarranted when compared to the far superior John Carpenter’s The Thing.
The Ides of March
Yes.
Ryan Gosling does it again (well, with the help of director and supporting actor George Clooney) in this gripping political drama that, while it plays out on a smaller scale than I would have preferred, remains engaging from beginning to end.
50/50
Yes.
Everyone’s favorite actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, stars as a 27-year-old battling cancer in a film that finds that delicate balance between laugh-out-loud comedy and personal, touching drama.
Drive
Yes.
There are one of a kind movie-going experiences and then there are one of a kind movie-going experiences… this is the latter.
Warrior
Yes.
Not only are there plenty of thrills (as you’d expect from a movie centered around mixed martial arts) but also some damn good storytelling and performances.
