O’Dessa (2025) Film Review

A farm girl embarks on an epic quest to recover a cherished family heirloom in the post-apocalyptic future. Her journey soon leads her to a strange and dangerous city where she meets her one true love. However, in order to save his soul, she must put the power of destiny and music to the ultimate test.

O’Dessa is directed by Geremy Jasper director of Patti Cake$ (2017).

O’Dessa is one of those films where you want to love badly but it’s next to impossible to ignore when it comes to the film’s major flaws, having that said I do think for the most part the film gets a lot right and is generally a solid time. 

Sadie Sink is the major part of why the film works, she has a beautiful singing voice and her acting goes above and beyond. Her interactions with the rest of the cast is filled with passion, the scenes she shares with Kelvin Harrison Jr. are admittedly very cute and the chemistry between the two is charming enough. Sink sings a majority of the film’s songs and they are so well done and fit the mood of the scene they are in, the film’s main theme is probably my favorite of the songs she sung. It’s a nice blend of rock and opera (something the film really seems to not really go far enough on halfway through the film.) 

Regina Hall is not given a whole lot to do here but she makes what she can of it and does a solid job, Kelvin Harrison Jr. works well with Sink as I said before but is also great on his own (he has a few solid songs here) and Murray Bartlett is just having a ball. Bartlett in particular has one song here called Onederworld that he sings with Emily Forsythe which is definitely the most unique of the songs and perhaps my favorite simply due to how bizarre and sudden it appears. Bartlett seems like he’s having the time of his life with this song, between his singing and dancing it’s a whole light show and an incredibly fun sequence that is easily one of the film’s highlights. 

The music is overall quite great although I will say if you go into this movie expecting it to go all out with the rock opera premise you are going to be left disappointed. As fun as the songs are (some of them being even great), I don’t think a lot of these songs would be the first thing someone thinks of when they think “rock opera” there’s a touch of it in some songs but not enough to really say the film went for it. Despite that however I still do think the songs are fun, creative and have strong sequences attached to them plus they highlight the talent of the actors which is always a plus. 

As far as atmosphere goes the film feels like a cross between Mad Max and The Hunger Games but with music sequences, at times it’s pretty creative especially when we get to see more of this film’s world, the visual style is genuinely exciting. With colors that match the apocalyptic punk feel the film is going for, plus the use of colors with the song sequences are fun to look at. The camerawork is focused and brings in some extra detail as well, for what the movie was going for with its punk rock opera theme I would say the film does a solid job look wise. 

Storytelling wise there’s definitely some bumps in the road that do stop this one from being great mainly the romance, while Sink and Harrison Jr. do have cute moments and both act well together on screen. The romance plot is just not well developed and it takes a lot away from this movie, this is mainly during the middle portion meaning when the third act comes around the movie gets back up on its feet and delivers. But sitting through the second act with an incredibly generic romance plot is very frustrating because this could have easily been trimmed and just stops the movie dead in its tracks pacing wise.

Overall O’Dessa is still a fun ride and I do like the swings that were attempted here. It’s a film that could have done far more with its premise, but from what was presented here I say it’s a decent little movie with great performances and some truly exciting music! 

O’Dessa releases tomorrow on Hulu

Mickey 17 (2025) Film Review


A disposable employee is sent on a human expedition to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories

Mickey 17 is directed by Bong Joon Ho director of Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000), Memories Of Murder (2003), The Host (2006), Mother (2009), Snowpiercer (2013), Okja (2017) and Parasite (2019). 

Mickey 17 is drastically different from Bong Joon Ho’s previous films but retains a lot of the elements that make his work so great. You have a little bit of everything here and even if there are some issues here and there, the film is still quite spectacular and truly something different. 

What makes Mickey 17 work as well as it does is Robert Pattinson’s performance, without him the film would not have worked nearly as well as it did. Pattinson has shown over the years how incredible he is as an actor and here is no exception, Mickey Barnes/Mickey 17/Mickey 18 are just such fun characters that the film takes its sweet time to explore and beautiful detail. The film does this in a mostly humorous way that early on establishes this humorous atmosphere that Pattinson captures almost immediately. He’s at his best when he has these character moments whether it be with the rest of the cast or himself, in this kind of beautiful way we see him slowly open up as the film goes on as well as some sharp voice over moments that sum up Mickey as a character incredibly well. 

Naomi Ackie is also quite fantastic here, the romance between Mickey and Ackie’s character Nasha Barridge is genuinely beautiful, heartfelt and quite honestly comes off as very natural. That’s mainly due to just how great the chemistry between Pattinson and Ackie really is, there’s theme of love and having someone who supports you. So many implications of love that is truly well done and Naomi Ackie pushes it in such beautiful ways that can even bring the viewer to shed a few tears. 

The only really major flaw here comes from Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette, while I do get what their performances were trying to go for here it did not quite work for me. Each scene they are in it almost seems like they are battling to be the louder person in the room and although that is the point of their characters it doesn’t really make for interesting characters or even fun villains. Especially when you compare the two with the rest of the film that is strongly written and has more of a calm but absurd nature to it (in a good way) the two’s performances really stick out like a sore thumb and end up being the weakest part in a incredibly well made film. 

The visuals are stunning especially when combined with the cinematography from Darius Khondji, it makes the film’s world look massive and even the film itself becomes large in scale. There’s this sense of epicness from the film that just oozes out to the viewer, it’s beautiful to look at and is striking in every single way it possibly can. The film’s atmosphere combined with its humor reminds me of old sci-fi television shows such as some of the early episodes of Star Trek it’s fun to watch and just flows together incredibly well. There is this classic sci-fi feel here that some films don’t seem to have much anymore (not always a bad thing) but here it feels extra special. 

Lastly the film is just a whole lot of fun, it’s a fun sci-fi comedy that displays so much passion to the genre especially when it comes to Bong Joon Ho’s direction which has so much love and passion poured into it much like his other films. Even with the stuff with Ruffalo and Collette, while I don’t think a lot of it worked I appreciate what he was going for and that’s not to say that some scenes did work with the two. Towards the end of the film I do think they get a bit better and more focused as well. 

Overall Mickey 17 is grand in scale and even bigger when it comes to how great the film is. As I said not everything works but between the performances from Pattinson and Ackie plus the visuals, the beautiful theme of love and much more. The film ends up working and ends up being the best film of the year so far. 

Mickey 17 is available in theaters!

Last Breath (2025) Film Review

The true story of seasoned deep-sea divers who battle the raging elements to rescue a crewmate who’s trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface.

Last Breath is directed by Alex Parkinson which is his feature film debut. This film is also a feature film remake of the 2019 documentary of the same name (which was also directed by Parkinson.) 

Last Breath is based on an unbelievable true story of diver Chris Lemons who in 2012 became trapped 330 feet underwater with limited oxygen after his umbilical cable was severed during a North Sea diving operation. This is something that you would think ends with Lemons unfortunately losing his life, but by some unknown reason that scientists even to this day don’t know Chris Lemons survived. It’s a story that if you told someone who had no prior knowledge they would probably question if you were making this up or not. 

Last Breath is familiar in structure yet it does a really good job of telling this story in a decently powerful way. That’s mainly thanks to Parkinson already being knowledgeable about the subject given that he directed the documentary that came out in 2019. Due to this he’s able to give this unbelievable story strength and even some thrills to really capture the spirit of the story. 

The performances are all around quite great, Finn Cole plays Chris Lemons and does a really great job at doing so. He’s an incredibly likable and someone who the viewer really wants to be okay and see his family again, he captures the thrilling atmosphere that Parkinson sets up which includes the feeling of desperation and wanting to survive. 

Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu are both very solid here as well, the latter of which I’m not a huge fan of when it comes to his acting. But I think Liu does a really good job here and manages to capture competency and professionalism. Woody Harrelson captures the same sort of competency and professionalism within the film and matches the race against time atmosphere that’s going on, this isn’t exactly breaking any new ground for Harrelson but he still does very well. 

The underwater scenes is where a lot of the thrills happen, combine that with some really solid underwater photography and you have some very unsettling scenes that if someone went into this film not knowing what ended up happening this story it would be all the more terrifying. The feel of survival and desperation is felt throughout the film and it’s portrayed incredibly well here, when the film feels the need to bring in some emotional moments they work well with the atmosphere. 

There aren’t that many character beats here but there really does not need to be, it’s a very straightforward film about a man fighting for survival yet. The direction from Parkinson has meat to it which again is thanks to him directing the documentary so we get some extras details and nuances that the movie did not have to include but I’m glad it did. There’s also classic moviemaking appeal here, certain scenes hanging on to small victories in a huge situation. Whether that being more time to survive or just finding different solutions.

Of course the movie does have some tropes that at times can take away the seriousness of the movie, the song at the end being incredibly cheesy. But that’s not enough to really stop this movie from being a decently thrilling ride. Some people may not see the point of this story being turned into a feature length film given that it already had a documentary 6 years ago. But I do think the film justifies in its existence, it shares a story that is truly fascinating and even if you have heard it already it doesn’t help but to listen to it again! 

Last Breath is available on all VOD Platforms.

Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League (2025) Film Review

Batman and his allies battle to save Gotham from the Yakuza League, a group of superpowered individuals resembling the Justice League.

Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League is directed by Junpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi. Mizusaki previously directed Batman Ninja (2018) and Takagi previously directed Steamboy (2004). The film serves as a sequel to Batman Ninja (2018). 

Batman Ninja (2018) I always found to be one of the better DC animated films to come out in recent years, so I was pretty interested (kind of surprised as well) that a sequel was actually coming out. While it’s not as good as the first movie simply because the idea was more fresh with the first movie. I do think Yakuza League is a pretty solid sequel that continues to use the bizarre idea in an interesting way! 

Much like the first film the voice acting and the animation style is pretty great. The anime references thrown in this time around are charming and add to the style, it never becomes way too much instead it adds details to the characters which have some quite interesting designs such as Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Aquaman with their Yakuza counterparts. 

The story is just as fun as it was with the first film only I would argue this one is a bit more self aware, which does lead to some decently fun sequences and styles. Some editing styles reminiscent of Shonen anime and Japanese TV shows of the 70s and 80s, that does take away from some character arcs especially towards Batman’s family. But it’s a fair trade off considering that the rest of the film is quite decent with how the idea is executed. 

The action scenes are fun, creative and pop out incredibly well, the dialogue holds the viewer’s interest throughout the film. There isn’t anything mind blowing going on here, some of the characters like Joker and Harley Quinn feel a bit shoehorned in (Joker really isn’t as interesting as a character as he was in the first film.) the movie does admittedly start to lose a bit of steam towards the end, but at the very least the movie does not overstay its welcome with a runtime of 89 minutes it’s enough to get to the point and wrap things up at a nice pace. 

Overall Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League is a bit weaker than its predecessor but still manages to keep the qualities of what made the first one great. If you liked the first film you will probably like this one as well.

Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League is available on all VOD platforms.

The Monkey (2025) Film Review

When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing the estranged siblings to confront the cursed toy.

The Monkey is directed by Osgood Perkins director of The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015), I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016), Gretel & Hansel (2020) and Longlegs (2024). 

Osgood Perkins hits it out of the park yet again, after delivering the terrifying and incredibly well done Longlegs (2024) I was already very excited for The Monkey and it did not disappoint. It’s a film that is drastically different than a lot of Perkins’s previous films, it’s far more comedic with tons of dark humor that at first had me a bit worried if the film may overdo it. Luckily the film doesn’t take itself seriously and goes all out on the humor which ends up making the humor have a character of its own. 

The performances here are a lot of fun, there’s some nice cameos Adam Scott, OsGood Perkins, Elijah Wood and a few others. Theo James is definitely doing standout performance, I’ve always rooted for Theo James so I am so glad to see him in a film that takes advantage of his potential as an actor, his duel performance here is brilliant it’s able to create two characters with very different personalities Hal and Bill who are fun characters. The interactions between his two characters are some of the film’s highlights and filled to the brim with laughs. There isn’t anything special being said with his characters but there really doesn’t need to be it’s all good fun and the film compliments that with the script. 

Christian Convery also has a duel performance he both young Hal and Bill incredibly well and makes so many of the earlier parts of the film that much more entertaining. Tatiana Maslany is fun as well even if she isn’t given that much to do. 

The humor of the film is ultimately what makes it work, I have to say it was a very risky move especially when coming out of Longlegs (2024) but the execution is so well done here. Perkins is able to create a dark atmosphere about a toy monkey that kills people whenever it plays and make it a hilarious time, plus when you combine that with the gore and kills you have yourself such a fun package. The gore on its own is used for comedic effect, it’s over the top and ridiculous a much more comedic take on splatter films. 

Finally there’s the direction that Perkins does such a great job of remaining consistent throughout the film, while a majority of the film is filled with dark humor there are the serious moments that are just as well done. The film embraces its silliness which it does well, especially when you have the Stephen King feel to it (the film is based on a short story.)

Overall The Monkey is just an incredibly solid and fun film, it’s not trying to be something it’s not and embraces the humorous energy it gives off from beginning to end. Check this one out! 

The Monkey is currently in theaters

Jazzy (2025) Film Review

When Jazzy finds out her best friend Syriah is moving, she is confronted with the pains of growing up and the realities of the adult world.

Jazzy is directed by Morrisa Maltz director of The Unknown Country (2022). Jazzy serves as a spinoff to The Unknown Country (2022).

Jazzy is a really solid coming of age story, it shares quite a lot of what made The Unknown Country (2022) so great which in turn helps this film as well. Particularly the acting and the documentary like filming style. 

The performances are all quite great here, Jasmine Bearkiller Shangreaux as Jazzy and Syriah Foohead Means as Syriah are both wonderful and give such heartfelt and beautiful performances. The two deliver these natural performances that really capture the viewer’s heart incredibly quickly, Maltz tackling the theme of childhood and how glimpses of adulthood can appear is what really drives these two’s performances. You see the worry on Jazzy’s face when her best friend Syriah announces she’s moving and you notice the many thoughts floating in her head. At Jazzy’s age this is a huge deal and really feel that weight as you are watching it and that’s due to how tremendous the performances are from Shangreaux and Means. 

The writing is beautifully done, there’s this sense of documentary style to it and really brings the viewer up close to what is going on here. The same can be said with the cinematography, its shot in this beautiful documentary type of feel that tackles the whole theme of the days of childhood and slowly but surely growing up. The beautiful landscapes combined with the angles and close ups give the film so much personality. 

The addition of Lily Gladstone’s character from The Unknown Country (2022) is also an incredibly nice touch, even if she isn’t here for a lot of time her moment is very important to the story being told. Having both Jazzy and Tana’s paths cross to what the film is building up to is truly touching and quite beautiful as well. It really hits home the message of the film and ultimately delivers. 

In a lot of ways Jazzy really does feel nostalgic, I’m sure there was that one person in the neighborhood who you became best friends with as a kid and one day they said they were going to move. Plus the outdoor adventures during the film and meeting new people as a kid just really captures that feel you had as a kid when in a neighborhood filled with other kids your age. 

Overall Jazzy is a beautifully done film especially in the acting and writing department. It might not be as powerful as The Unknown Country (2022) was but it was still very solid film that really makes me excited to see what Morrisa Maltz does next. 

Jazzy is available on all VOD platforms.

The Electric State (2025)

An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick.

The Electric State is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Cherry (2021), The Gray Man (2022) and a few others.

The Electric State is the type of streaming movie where I like to play a game of “where did the money go?” movies like Heart Of Stone (2023), The Gray Man (2022) and Red Notice (2023) are the worst offenders of this. Even from the trailer you can just tell that the budget of $320 million (which is one of the highest budgets of a movie) doesn’t reflect of what’s being shown. 

The performances here are just dreadful, Chris Pratt is incredibly one note here and has next to nothing to work with character wise. His character John D. Keats is about as unfunny as you can get and just doesn’t work well with the rest of the cast, it doesn’t help that he’s playing the exact type of role he’s been playing for years now. Only where as in other movies it was at the very least tolerable, but here it that’s not so much the case mainly due to how terrible the writing really is. 

Millie Bobby Brown is in the same boat, only that I would argue she has a bit more to her than Pratt does in this case. She still gives a completely bland performance that does nothing for the story being told and really doesn’t push her as an actress. Michelle Greene is just another standard teenager character that is somehow even less developed than a lot of Brown’s other past performances. Stanley Tuuci, Ke Huy Quan and Colman Domingo (the latter two showing up for 5 seconds) are fun here but none of the moments they are given are enough to really save this sinking ship. 

At times the world building is not terrible, there’s moments where the movie seems like it’s going to discuss its world and go into detail about it. Unfortunately none of that ever ends up happening and what we are left with is ideas that had the potential to be executed incredibly well but the movie decides to cut a lot of corners. It doesn’t help that the movie itself just does not care about its characters or themes, sure we are told briefly about Michelle and John’s backstory but there isn’t anything compelling. It’s a ton of tired cliches that at this point the viewer has seen in far better films. 

As far as themes go the movie tackles the theme of technology about as deep as a kiddie pool, this is yet another robots vs humans type of deal. From what I’ve heard and seen online from fans of the source material the movie does a very poor job of retelling the story and I’m willing to believe them because the way the story is told here is a complete and total mess. It’s long, drawn out and never sparks any interest from the viewer, the direction from the Russo brothers is some of the most dull and lifeless direction I’ve seen so far this year. It very much feels like mechanical noise (no pun intended) that’s only job is to get views and have articles published about how it’s “one of Netflix’s most watched films” 

I originally had a lot more to say about The Electric State but the more I thought about it the more I realized how very little there is here. Sure the budget is high and you have a stacked cast, but when you do absolutely nothing with the source material and most of the cast either don’t have a whole lot to their characters or only appear for about 5 seconds. Is there really anything going on here? This is just yet another terrible Netflix original movie only that it appears bigger than it really is.

The Electric State is available on Netflix.

Borderline (2025) Film Review


A helplessly romantic sociopath escapes from a mental institution and invades the home of a ’90s pop superstar. He just wants to be loved; she just wants to survive.

Borderline is directed by Jimmy Warden which is his directorial debut. 

Samara Weaving in another incredibly fun horror film? That’s news I love to hear and Borderline gets the job done for the most part. This is one of I’ve been waiting to release for a while now and while there are some hiccups in the road for the most part this is a fun and surprisingly quite humorous ride. 

The cast are doing a lot of the heavily lifting here, much like in her other horror film appearances Samara Weaving is great here. There’s one particular moment here that caught me off guard that is probably going to end up being a fan favorite moment from Weaving, as always she matches the atmosphere that’s needed and is quite humorous here as well. She’s able to balance the horror moments with the comedic ones, her character Sofia is fun and while we do not really get a whole lot about her as a character. It’s Weaving’s magic to really bring the viewer into the character that helps in the long run.

Ray Nicholson the son of Jack Nicholson is excellent here, one of the film’s strongest assets and really gives off some of the acting power his father has. He’s both creepy and humorous, a character that quickly gets under the viewer’s skin. His mindset going from crazy to even more insane and it just keeps building from there, his back and forth with Samara Weaving is investing to watch as well as quite thrilling. The atmosphere is there to back it up and the end result unfolds into a hilarious and chaotic third act. 

Jimmie Fails and Eric Dane are both great as well, not a whole lot to their characters but the two much like everyone else in the film are hilarious and match the tone of the film. Dane has a really strong moment at the beginning of the film that he shares with Nicholson where we see early on how deranged Nicholson really is. Fails shines towards the end of the film, a moment that is both bizarre yet fun and really matches this film’s incredibly strange atmosphere.

The writing and direction from Jimmy Warden are both great, admittedly after the opening scene the film does take a bit a time to get going. Some of the writing is just okay with nothing really special going on. But once the film starts to reach the second act the film’s vision is a lot more clear and the ideas the film is going for start to develop and fully fleshed out. We get some great moments between the character as well, Weaving and Fails have some nice moments together and have some nice chemistry together. 

The film’s humor as well as the atmosphere is very Ready Or Not (2019) like, the film does not quite reach the highs that the film did but it does manage to take the approach that Ready Or Not (2019) did and spin it in its own way. Not every single joke lands but at the very least the film backs those up with some thrilling atmosphere and some great gore. 

Overall Borderline is not going to reinvent the genre, but due to the cast’s commitment and Warden’s thrilling and humorous writing and direction the film manages to be a lot of fun and is something I would recommend you check out. 

Borderline releases tomorrow on all VOD Platforms

The Parenting (2025) Film Review

Boyfriends Josh and Rohan plan a weekend getaway to introduce their parents, only to discover that their rental is home to a 400-year-old poltergeist.

The Parenting is directed by Craig Johnson director of True Adolescents (2009), The Skeleton Twins (2014), Wilson (2017) and Alex Strangelove (2018). 

The Parenting is what happens when you take The Evil Dead (1981) and comedies where the parents of each party dating each other meet. Nothing exactly we haven’t seen before, but I got to say this surprised me. There’s some genuinely good bits here that did get some laughs out of me, that’s probably due to the cast having a blast (also a surprisingly packed cast as well?) 

Speaking of which the acting while not exactly anything excellent is still quite a lot of fun. Brandon Flynn and Parker Posey in particular do a great job here, Brian Cox has some hilarious parts as well and Nik Dodani worked well with Brandon Flynn. Both have great chemistry and the comedic timing for the two is actually quite solid as well. 

Admittedly there really isn’t a whole lot going on here, the plot is about what you expect but I do have to give credit for the sort of chaotic energy the movie goes for. It’s very reminiscent of Scary Movie (2000) where the parody movie genre was at least entertaining, there’s some moments like that here that do actually work in this movie’s favor. 

As I said before it’s mostly the cast that makes this work, each character is at the very least given something to do which in turn gives everyone a few moments to shine. Even if Cliff (played by Dean Norris) is really not given so much to work with, the moments we do have are genuinely fun and he actually does end up being likable. Directing wise this was alright, Craig Johnson has showed better direction before with some of his previous films mainly The Skeleton Twins (2014) but I do think he did a decent job with the comedy here and some of the horror (even if that took a backseat for most of the film.)

Overall The Parenting isn’t too bad, it’s absolutely not going to be for everyone and I don’t think this is something I’m ever going to watch again. But I will say this was a fun time and if it sounds like your thing I say check it out.

The Parenting is available on HBO Max or Max

Control Freak (2025) Film Review

A motivational speaker is tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head.

Control Freak is directed by Shal Ngo director of The Park (2023).

Control Freak sure is a Hulu original horror movie that exists, quite honestly there is really not a whole lot to be said here and that’s very unfortunate. I like the whole idea of the movie, the short film Control which is what the film was based on was simple yet effective. But Control Freak is just a prime example of when people say “not every short film needs to be turned into feature length film.” 

Kelly Marie Tran is by far the best part of this movie, her performance here is actually quite impressive and really makes me want to see her lead in more horror films. She delivers a powerhouse performance that both feels in line with the atmosphere as well as  bringing in some raw moments where her character Val is clearly in pain due to the scratching on her head. It’s some decently smart mix of body horror and as well as bringing the viewers anxiety into the mix. Without Kelly Marie Tran this movie would not have had some of the best moments of the movie and would have been forgotten almost immediately. 

The use of sound is quite great, the scratching is grating and unbearable in the best way possible to really get under your skin. The movie uses this to explore the theme of losing control, something in your mind just keeps hitting you and you want to silence it, even if it’s not perfectly done there’s still a good amount for the viewer to chew on. Unfortunately a lot of this movie is left unexplored, ambiguity is fine of course but the movie goes a bit too far with it and really fails to bring the viewer into the more what are supposed to be emotional moments. 

What really kills this movie is the pacing and it meanders for way too long, the body horror stuff is great but a lot of the bunk that’s stuck in the middle of it really takes away the viewer’s attention. It starts to become a slow burn horror film that really does not need to be one, the emotional moments don’t have the power they need to really amount to anything. Miles Robbins turns in a decent performance as Robbie but he’s an incredibly one note character that just tells Val “you are crazy” 

Overall Control Freak had promise but with every genuinely great scene there was another that dragged on for far too long. With so many missed opportunities, this is one of those movies that really leaves the viewer thinking “what could have been”

Control Freak is available on Hulu
