Running on Karma (2003) 4/5 EDIT “Running on Karma encapsulates what is so appealing about Hong Kong cinema, full of ideas, visual treats and funny moments.” – Starburst Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Sakra (2023) 65% EDIT “... An enjoyable but cookie-cutter wuxia film designed to entertain but not enthrall you.” – Starburst Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Violent Streets (1974) 4/5 EDIT “Violent Streets could be described as unpleasant and exploitative but never not entertaining.” – Starburst Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Magnificent Warriors (1987) 67% 3/5 EDIT “As ever, you are left thinking that with a few tweaks, this film could have been amazing. In terms of the action on display, the old adage is as true as ever – they don’t make them like this anymore.” – Starburst Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Ride On (2023) 64% 3/5 EDIT “If anything, Ride On is a harmless curiosity.” – Starburst Apr 7, 2023 Full Review #FLOAT (2022) 2/5 EDIT “What is a solid concept at heart falters with poor execution and lack of coherence.” – Starburst Dec 14, 2022 Full Review The Dead and the Deadly (1982) 3/5 EDIT “An interesting film that shows off Sammo’s comedic ability with aplomb... Long live Hong Kong cinema.” – Starburst Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday (2022) 81% 4/5 EDIT “... The film wallops you in the face, with frantic bloody fights, funny dialogue, and a relentless pace.” – Starburst Oct 17, 2022 Full Review Supercop (1992) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Its strongest aspect... is the balance in tone. ” – Starburst Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Human Lanterns (1982) 4/5 EDIT “Human Lanterns is truly a hidden gem, that will create deep discussions well after our hero renounces his extravagant ways. ” – Starburst Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Spiritwalker (2020) 92% 3/5 EDIT “The action is a little sparse, but it’s brilliantly handled by Jae-guen Yoon, only directing his second feature film here. He throws in some hapkido fights, gunplay and car chases and it’s never boring.” – Starburst Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Castle Falls (2021) 88% 3/5 EDIT “A film with a killer concept, which despite getting tripped up by exposition, delivers thrills and decent action.” – Starburst Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Gaia (2021) 84% 4/5 EDIT “In a not too subtle shout out to our real climate crisis, director Jaco Bouwer wonderfully conveys our sense of helplessness in the face of disaster, with the panache of a much more experienced filmmaker.” – Starburst Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Dreamcatcher (2021) 36% 3/5 EDIT “With a little more focus and some trimming of the fat, Dreamcatcher could have been truly great rather than decent.” – Starburst Feb 26, 2021 Full Review Smiley Face Killers (2020) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Smiley Face Killers' main shortcoming is the performances... Still, thanks to the plot and the old pro holding the reins, the film works better than it has any right to.” – Starburst Feb 1, 2021 Full Review The Dare (2019) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the holes in some of the logic of the story, it ends up fitting together quite well, the acting is decent, and the gore is well handled. ” – Starburst Oct 26, 2020 Full Review The Last Laugh (2020) 3/5 EDIT “Despite some wooden acting and poor scene coverage (a couple of characters are introduced in a wide shot, so you struggle to connect with them), director and writer Jeremy Berg does a great job of focusing your attention on the mystery at hand. ” – Starburst Oct 26, 2020 Full Review The Fanatic (2019) 15% 5/10 EDIT “It is poorly handled by director Fred Durst... however, with a clumsy voice over, which distracts from the story rather than enchanting it and some time-lapse drawings that don't seem to add anything to the unfolding narrative.” – Starburst May 26, 2020 Full Review The Hunt (2020) 57% 7/10 EDIT “You can't blame Lindelof for trying to inject some flavour into effectively what is a hack and slash affair, just a very skillfully crafted and entertaining one.” – Starburst Mar 12, 2020 Full Review StarDog and TurboCat (2019) 56% 5/10 EDIT “A good entry point, but they haven't reached the stars yet.” – Starburst Dec 5, 2019 Full Review The Jack in the Box (2019) 17% 5/10 EDIT “The monster design is good and some of the action scenes are set up well, with a bit more money and some faster pacing, The Jack In the Box could of really given us something exciting, although it never quite gets there.” – Starburst Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Every Time I Die (2019) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Even though it may not reach the heights of the films that have influenced it, it is certainly an enjoyable and worthy experience.” – Starburst Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Nefarious (2019) 6/10 EDIT “Apart from a couple of pieces of clumsy foreshadowing, it is hard to tell that we're watching a horror movie, feeling more like a script that Danny Dyer turned down.” – Starburst Aug 8, 2019 Full Review The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019) 72% 6/10 EDIT “The Angry Birds Movie 2, throws a lot of jokes at the audience, whether that is toilet humor, riffing on social media or just classic slapstick, not all of it sticks but it keep things moving a long nicely, and you have to thank it for being entertaining.” – Starburst Aug 5, 2019 Full Review
