“Taking a page from the FAST AND FURIOUS series, which started out lackluster and then took off in the later entries, this jumpstarts the franchise and gives it new life.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE  does such a good job installing indulgence as its backbone that it’s hard not to admire the film’s commitment, its gusto and, therefore, its ability to get away with pretty much anything.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

“Decent in terms of action and anything else you may expect from something like this.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“SPLIT is a deeply flawed but fascinating film, perhaps Shyamalan’s most interesting work to date.” – Greg Vellante, Forces of Geek

“Perhaps the most charitable way to look at SPLIT is that is a cry for help by its director. “Stop me before I film again,” he seems to be saying.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
