Josiah Teal Film Threat Despite the early struggles, The Shakedown evolves into a narrative that is dripping in dramatic irony and features one of the best accidental headshots since Pulp Fiction. Rated: 7.5/10 Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Andrea Chase Killer Movie Reviews A bonkers black comedy that celebrates family values with a body count. Rated: 4/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut This Cape Town crime comedy movie is exhausting and tedious, and not even outrageous sex dolls could save it. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies [I]t miscalculates in trying to make a sympathetic figure of the haplessly misguided protagonist... Rated: 2/4 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
