Hokum movie review: Adam Scott can’t save this dreary horror film

May 15, 2026 15:50 IST

👁 fuze movie rerview

Fuze movie review: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Sam Worthington heist film is enjoyable at best

April 24, 2026 20:22 IST

Fuze doesn’t really want to, or give us time to, dwell on the thin politics it covers itself in. This fast-moving caper sweeping across London, with some good-looking men of honour and dishonour in feverish action, can be enjoyable despite it.

April 03, 2026 18:28 IST

👁 THEY WILL KILL YOU revoew

They Will Kill You movie review: The Zazie Beetz film is all blood and gore

March 27, 2026 14:41 IST
