Bernard Boo PopMatters Dec 29, 2021 8/10 While No Way Home is but a cog in a larger movie-making machine, it stands on its own as a wonderful third entry in a series that is primed to usher the younger generation of audiences into the future of the ever-expanding MCU.

Bernard Boo Den of Geek Aug 27, 2021 4.5/5 It's a supremely entertaining movie on every level, and the fact that it will likely kick in the door for more Asian superheroes to take center stage in the future (Jubilee, please) is icing on the cake.

Bernard Boo Den of Geek Apr 22, 2021 4.5/5 It's both a loving homage to the arcade classics and a savage, devilishly fun martial arts flick. The film is actually so effective in the latter regard that it transcends the "video game movie" category completely. Go to Full Review Mortal Kombat (2021) 55% 40%

Bernard Boo Den of Geek Mar 5, 2021 4/5 With an extensive background in boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Grillo is more than qualified to star in virtually any action role imaginable and look completely legitimate-because he is. Go to Full Review Boss Level (2021) 73% 77%

Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 6.1/10 Though Resolution has some significant flaws, it's important that films like it get made and that filmmakers like Moorehead and Benson continue to aim high and take chances. Go to Full Review Resolution (2012) 81% 65%

Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 6.8/10 The cast's spot-on performances are worth the price of admission, but I can't help but think how great the film could have been, if only it were more comfortable in its own skin. Go to Full Review The Kings of Summer (2013) 76% 77%

Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 7.9/10 What makes this film work is the passion Paul Bunnell injects into it; he obviously loves and is a connoisseur of the genres he pays homage to. Go to Full Review The Ghastly Love of Johnny X (2012) - - 68%

Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Apr 15, 2019 8.2/10 The lasting images Doueiri conjures are what I ultimately took with me after all was said and done, and the droning, ambient electronic music he pairs with the visuals adds a surprising amount of tension and mood.
