Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

A bit of fantasy fun that never allows the viewer to become fully invested. The peril didn’t feel very real, and so evading it didn’t feel that satisfying.

Gunpowder MIlkshake (2021)

 

With a title like that, my expectations were already low, which turned out to be prophetic on my part. There are no genuine interactions in the film--just highly dramatized scenes straight from your least favorite movie clichés. 

Part of the problem is that the city appears to be solely populated by The Firm and other individuals tied to organized crime. Artificial characters inside an artificial city spewing artificial lines that will have you groaning repeatedly.
