The Maid, 2020 – ★★
Mostly forgettable with a final act that nearly redeems it. Too little, too late — but there’s a spark buried in the last few moments.
Mostly forgettable with a final act that nearly redeems it. Too little, too late — but there’s a spark buried in the last few moments.
Promising setup quickly fades into mediocrity. Solid concept squandered on a script that never digs deep enough.
Sluggish at times, but the explosive finale makes it worth sticking around. Rough, raw, and bursting with DIY energy.
Stylized chaos with a runtime that’s mercifully brief. Visually bold but narratively thin, it mostly tests your endurance.
Unsettling and poetic, it explores obsession and innocence with an eerie intensity that stays under your skin.
Tense and elegantly twisted, it creeps along with quiet dread. Another dark gem from a director who knows how to unnerve.
Takes a good premise and squanders it with clunky execution and unintentional laughs. Too silly to take seriously, too dull to enjoy ironically.
Lean, mean, and brutally effective—it hits all the right notes for a revenge tale without wasting a second.
Budget constraints aren’t the issue — it’s the flat pacing, weak script, and lack of momentum that make it a tough watch.
Thrilling from start to finish with brutal fights and sharp turns. A standout action flick that hits hard and keeps you guessing.
Delivers a nasty mix of horror and war with just enough pulp to keep it entertaining. Gory, grim, and surprisingly inventive.
Drags from scene to scene with little payoff, and Rourke feels like he’s in an entirely different (and weirder) film. Hard to stay invested.
Familiar beats and tired scares make this feel like a rehash of better films. Well-shot, but rarely surprising or engaging.
Entertaining and carried by a game cast, with Weaving stealing every scene she’s in. Light on depth, but solid fun all around.
