Nocturama (2016)

Nocturama, in which our protagonists are teenage terrorists who detonate a series of bombs throughout Paris, should, at the very least, be controversial and provocative. But this deadening picture does the seemingly impossible, turning its dangerous concept into a stultifying bore.

Death Note (2017)

There are a lot of talented people involved in Death Note. Director Adam Wingard has made some celebrated genre films, including the fantastic The Guest. Netflix, with their excellent track record, picked it up for distribution. Talented actors like Shea Whigham are present. Willem Dafoe voices a cackling, porcupine-quilled demon. Young star Nat Wolff has cool hair.

Despite all this, Death Note is a very, very bad movie on nearly every level.
