REVIEW: "Hit Man"

  enre: Comedy; Action; Romance. Director: Richard Linklater Writers: Richard Linklater & Glen Powell Starring: Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio & Retta Audiences who go watch it expecting a grand cinematic experience might feel it as a bit of a letdown, but if they're open to embrace  Hit Man 's small scaled filmmaking with a spicy (and quite funny) touch, then they will have one of the most rewarding time at the movies of the last couple of years.  Hit Man  is a delicious film, not perfect, but quite audience-friendly.

  IMMACULATE A tepid piece of religious horror,  Immaculate  has a great premise, but it never actually takes advantage of it at its full. It gets lost when it tries to criticize the patriarchy and the rigid religious norms in an attempt to make for a necessary commentary about The Curch.

It demanded more visual/graphic horror in order to be terrifying and there are some plot holes in this narrative. Watchable, but underwhelming. RATING:  4,5/10 LOVE LIES BLEEDING It starts as a conventional girl meets girl in a weird context, but then things catch fire and the characters start to evolve - and that's when the movie really grips you....
