Allied (English, 2016)
Allied has to be labelled as a missed opportunity since the end product, in spite of the admirable efforts of Marion Cotillard and Brad Pitt, does not have the desired impact.
Suicide Squad (English, 2016)
'Suicide Squad' has entertaining moments and characters, but suffers from rough editing, middling special effects and more profoundly from a storytelling viewpoint so much that it lacks in both impetus and consistency. One can’t help but wonder why DC would end up making such an uninspired, dim and un-thoughtful flick.
Min pappa Toni Erdmann (or) Toni Erdmann (German, 2016)
Toni Erdmann is your ‘need of the hour’ tale which uses madcap humour and deep philosophy to severely critique the urbanized world lacking in display of natural human emotions not wearing the make-up of a preacher but that of a Joker.
Jackie (English, 2016)
Jackie gives a brief insight on the immediate moments following JFK’s assassination. Sticking close to the original, Pablo Lorrain has hit jackpot in his debut English movie with Natalie Portman delivering a riveting performance as Jackie Kennedy.
Passengers (English, 2016)
Passengers is a great-looking film with an authentic idea, starts well, has amazing performances and visual effects but leads to a stereotyped ending. It may not be the best sci-fi flick of the year and perhaps not earth shatteringly brilliant, but worth getting some popcorn and relaxing down for a couple of hours.
