Think of your heart as the drums, your breathing as the bass. That’s pretty much my only takeaway of note from The Rhythm Section and I’m still not sure how…
Review: The Gentlemen
The Gentlemen is a stylish crime caper with writer/director Guy Ritchie’s fingerprints all over it. It's very much a "Guy" movie - and a "guy movie", with a splash of…
