One-line Film Review: Aftermath (2025), starring Dylan Sprouse

You’d think that, almost 40 years after the release of Die Hard, people would stop trying to make the next one without understanding what made it great.

Charles Bronson aims a ludicrously large pistol in the foreground of a burning city in the poster for Death Wish 3.

One-line Review: Death Wish 3 (1985): This film takes the vigilante wish fulfillment to a new level with cops endorsing Bronson's vigilantism, locals cheering on daylight extrajudicial murder, and a 32-year-old blonde chasing 64-year-old Bronson just so she can be killed after they hook up.
