The Dissolve by Charles Bramesco
Theory’s premise dares to interrogate what, if anything, the apparent randomness of life means. Brown and screenwriter Michael J. Kospiah haven’t the foggiest, but they’re willing to unload as many harebrained plot twists as it takes to obfuscate the question.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Hit man thrillers are a dime a dozen, but director Dru Brown's Aussie variation on the familiar genre takes some seriously clever, nasty turns.
An oddball male weepie whose curious mixture of sweetness and sadism is well anchored by two solid, character-rich lead performances.
Los Angeles Times by Martin Tsai
Although Michael J. Kospiah's script isn't exactly predictable or didactic, it does feel contrived and improbable on occasion.
As dark forces threaten, a king reignites a broken fellowship and a quest is undergone.
Every body has a secret.
