Ava movie review: Jessica Chastain's smooth-as-butter action cannot prop up an exhaustingly vapid film

Firstpost

In a scene somewhere halfway down Ava, an awkward dinner table conversation gets increasingly muffled as Jessica Chastain stoically snacks on berries with such disinterest that she would put a mannequin to shame. Directed by Tate Taylor, Ava touches upon everything — drinking and drug addiction, gambling, paid assassins, dysfunctional families, dead foster father figures, revenge— yet, the sum of …

‘Thugs of Hindostan’ review: vapid, predictable and pointless

The Hindu

Somewhere mid-way into Thugs of Hindostan, two friends, Firangi Mallah and Sanichar are shown guzzling a bottle of Ye Olde Pirate whiskey. But far from keeping one guessing, the tale of the two polar opposite thugs--Khudabaksh Jahaazi aka Azaad and Firangi Mallah--pitted against the East India Company, and also playing off against each other, is way too straightforward and simplistic. …
