3/4
Good acting and athletic direction let you forgive that none of this story is pippin’ hot fresh out of the oven. Sometimes you just want straightforward comfort food, and that’s what you’ll get along with a game Perlman. Go to Full Review

Ron Perlman and Emma Ho give the best they can with what they’re working with. This is not an acting issue, but without a story or direction as filler, it’s not enough to fill the screen with meaningful stares and monosyllabic grunts. Go to Full Review

As summer winds down, and you are overwhelmed by all of the “Barbieheimer” social media posts, I recommend taking the time to seek out “The Baker.” It “rises” to the occasion. Go to Full Review

3/5
This thoroughly generic action thriller borrows its familiar elements from many sources, but the likable cast help keep things on track with their collective charm and charisma. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Aug 2, 2023
Overcooked and lacking flavor, this derivative vigilante thriller squanders a winning performance by Ron Perlman. Go to Full Review
M.V. Moorhead Less Hat, Moorhead Aug 1, 2023
Leading man roles in movies have been rare in Perlman's career, and it's cool to see how effectively he brings this one more gravitas, and more warmth, than it really deserves. Go to Full Review
