Abigail Review
Host Kofi Outlaw gave Abigail 3.5. out of 5 stars in his review:
As many horror fans will wonder: Abigail (thankfully) never takes itself too seriously; never pretends the audience doesn’t know the twist, or ever imagines being anything other than an efficiently executed, single-setting, (and literally) ripping-and-roaring good time. It doesn’t re-invent the B-movie horror wheel in any way, but its balanced blend of heist action, crime drama, gore horror, and comedy does make it a uniquely fun experience, from a director team that is hitting its best strides.
Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Review
Patrick Cavanaugh gives the film 2 out of 5 stars in his review:
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is mostly a harmless outing that isn’t actively bad, and even has isolated incidents of charm, if even just accidentally. It’s hard to pull together a cast like this and end up without anything entertaining, so the stars are the ones who deserve the most credit in the experience. The overall product, however, feels like the distillation of Ritchie’s career, in that he wants to embrace the roots of his more effective and abrasive cinematic sensibilities yet also doesn’t want to commit to anything too provocative that won’t prevent Disney from offering him Aladdin 2… instead feeling like an entirely inoffensive and forgettable film that would have otherwise been released straight to VOD if not for a somewhat recognizable cast.
