".... What's in front of us is a hugely upsetting presentation of everyday banal evil writ large before us and the systemic failures within modern policing..."

"... There's a fuck-ton of jilted psycho ex films but none of them cast a monkey as the ex like Romero did with MONKEY SHINES."

"The 1999 movie set a ridiculously high standard that the show itself has never really surpassed but this is an excellent effort in just delivering the 'funny'."

"... By the point that Dick Shawn in drag is fighting with John Diehl dressed as a Hare Krishna monk whilst dispensing comedy quips, you end up sat thinking 'What the fuck is this thing?'..."

"It's only at the halfway mark when the trio stop forcing the 'comedy' and let the natural warmth and naturally funny interactions occur that this becomes something pretty good actually."

"This isn't a great movie by any stretch. You could convince yourself it IS a great comedic artefact of the 1980s if you wanted to though."

Drew Struzan's work made me the film nut I am - hours spent staring at his posters and standees in the local video shop, awestruck at the artistry, desperate to see whether the film could live up to the detail. Absolutely gutted he's left us. RIP.

"... There's shots of Keaton in this that you could freeze, print and frame and they'd be considered a work of art."

"The film's too derivative. If you've seen TAXI DRIVER, DEATH WISH and all their weak-tea knock-offs then you've seen this and you've seen it done better. "

"By the time the film trundles down to the Marvel-ification of city destruction for an atypically lazy climax and Leto is wandering around in a neckerchief, you could be easily convinced this is a bad film."

I don't think Wright's name carries the box office magnetism many think. He's an incredibly overstated filmmaker, a generator of his own hype mostly. But this is as close to a sure thing as they get. If he can't make a 'hit' out of this... Jesus!

"... If you break the loop of Gresham's intention with even a modicum of hope, no matter how delicately suggested, you lessen the impact of all before it. Guillermo del Toro got that."

There's no #JaredLeto led movie that's actually made money. He's been quietly well known as a sex predator for decades and then outed as one publicly this year. Disney put $180m down on him bringing in the crowds for a third #Tron movie. No financial autopsy required. Thank you.

"If you like tremendously silly but relentlessly entertaining B-movies in the style of JUDGEMENT NIGHT or NIGHT OF THE RUNNING MAN this is worth a punt."
