Prior to “The Golden Circle”, each of these had their own freshness to them, something unique that he brought to the screen. “The Golden Circle” marks the first time he’s written and directed a sequel to his own work, [...]
Buddy-Cop movies have a long history in Cinema, one that is easily divided between painful duds and memorable favorites. But “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” doesn’t neatly fall into either of these categories. Instead, it’s a smorgasbord of various story threads that never quite weaves together a cohesive film.
