HIM centers on a promising young football player (Tyriq Withers), invited to train at the isolated compound of a dynasty team's aging QB1. The legendary quarterback (Marlon Wayans) takes his protégé on a blood-chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, power and pursuit of excellence at any cost.

Critics Consensus

Fumbling the ball well before the red zone, HIM has style to spare but botches its promising conceit with rookie execution.

This movie loses it in the third act... They start explaining. Never explain!

2/5

Him falls apart in the second half as it becomes overwhelmed by everything it wants to say about football as a religion - and subtext very quickly becomes text.

Directed with the hollow showiness of an advert for trainers, this is a film that, despite the macho toxicity, only comes alive when Julia Fox’s malevolent trophy wife is on screen.

Instead of being a meaningful exploration of toxic masculinity that actually contributes something to the conversation, it's just another case of elevated horror that forgot to stay elevated.

45/100

Though not without its merits, ‘Him’ turns out to be the cinematic equivalent of a game that got away.

The focus on hyperstylized visuals, combined with its scattered storytelling, oversimplified themes, and surface-level commentary, results in a film that ultimately feels more like a music video than a narrative feature.
