The First Purge ***

The First Purge is a mixed bag. It’s definitely divisive and borderline glorifies violence. However, it’s not altogether superficial either. It empowers as it champions change and industry diversity on screen. Without question it gets the viewer to address where they stand on all the societal issues it raises which can only be a good thing.

Sicario 2: Soldado ****

Soldado is a very worthy, well-paced and multi-layered sequel that moves the narrative forward. In fact it displays global problems and security concerns still within the same stomping ground, never tiring in its narrative that is ever expanding and consuming. It will be very exciting to see where allegiances lie next.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ****

Fallen Kingdom obliterates the dinosaurs’ habitat but places them in our midst. It is a frightening concept, given the advances of DNA science and too much power in some corporation’s hands in reality. This film feeds off that, as well as has enough dino and man heroes to be a solid 12A contender at the box office.
