Hitman: Agent 47
An
assassin teams up with a woman to help her find her father and uncover the
mysteries of her ancestry.
Idiotically implausible thriller
based on a video game with dialogue so crass it feels as if it were
mistranslated from a foreign language.

Irrational Man *
On
a small town college campus, a philosophy professor in existential crisis gives
his life new purpose when he enters into a relationship with his student.
Another unmoored latter-day Allen
picture, recycling his usual attitudes to relationships without much apparent
enthusiasm but with the occasional good joke.

Dope *
Life
changes for a geek who's surviving life in a tough neighborhood, after a chance
invitation to an underground party leads him and his friends into a Los Angeles
adventure.
Messy, bizarrely plotted
socio-critique on youthful obsessions with an excess of personality and a
lively cast, none of which fully cohere. The ending exposes an ambition that
shows what might have been.

Results *
Two
mismatched personal trainers' lives are upended by the actions of a new,
wealthy client.
No one should expect Bujalski’s
interpretation of the “romantic comedy” to be anything less than this kooky. But here, despite gallantly committed
performances from his three leads, his refusal to clarify both his intention
and his narrative, feels like a cheat.
