The studio accountants are clearly eagerly awaiting Batman to save the (financial) day. Here's The Roundup....
3. Behind Closed Doors
The performances are solid in Behind Closed Doors. The plot was a bit too light, but the solid cast is able to mostly rise above it all.
2. Man-Thing
I didn't quite know what to expect from a Man-Thing film, but I was pleasantly surprised that despite almost identical origins this Man-Thing film does not feel like a Swamp Thing rip-off. It felt like its own thing - in an intriguing, and sometimes brutal, fashion.
1. Rubicon Lies
It's probably the best film of the season so far - not by a lot though. Leo and Marty are great working with each other, but the supporting cast of this one didn't match their talents. I'm a sucker for JFK stuff, so I was a fairly willing to look past some of the weak spots and focus on the elements of mystery and intrigue (of which there are plenty here).
3. Rubicon Lies
Despite being a very good, borderline great film, there were some major flaws/issues. Supporting cast is one of them, another is the use of a bunch of fictional characters where there were real life figures that could have added extra intrigue.
2. Behind Closed Doors
Despite the strong performances from its cast, Behind Closed Doors feels aggressively small and unambitious, with far too many overly familiar beats.
