Mercy (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Mercy, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, is one of those movies that ends up being a solid time — but mostly because my expectations were pretty low going in. The premise is undeniably cool. In a near-future world, AI systems have been integrated into the justice system, acting as judge, jury, and executioner. When Chris…

Night Patrol (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐☆☆☆ Night Patrol is one of those movies that sounds awesome on paper — cop thriller meets vampires in a gritty Los Angeles setting — but ends up feeling frustratingly half-baked, messy and boring once you actually watch it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The Wrecking Crew is the kind of movie you throw on when you just want to shut your brain off and have a good time — and honestly, I was fully on board with that from the opening scene. Not every film needs to be dissected, analyzed, or unpacked. Movies like this serve a…

The Rip (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The Rip is exactly the kind of crime thriller that reminds me why I love this genre so much. It’s tight, confident, and driven almost entirely by story and dialogue, and it proves that even familiar territory can still feel fresh when it’s executed well. I’m a sucker for single-location thrillers, and this one…

Primate (2026) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐☆☆☆ I really wanted to like Primate. I’d heard good things going in — not just from friends, but from reviewers whose tastes usually line up with mine, especially when it comes to horror. And while this movie isn’t bad, there was just too much here that didn’t work for me to fully get on…
