“Widows,” the new installment from director Steve McQueen, plays itself off like the heist movie cinema fans deserve instead of “Ocean’s 8.” In reality, it is something deeper than another genre flick. That both helps and hurts the film.The opening scene juxtaposes the criminals’ everyday family lives with their final excapade. Peaceful scenes of loved ones embracing are interrupted by gunshots and explosions. We get a glimpse of how both the criminals and their wives, or soon to be criminals, deal with their relationships.The chase ends abruptly with a barrage of firepower swiftly provided by the Chicago Police department, blowing the criminal crew to smithereens.This captivating end to the men’s story launches us to the beginning of the women’s story. It’s a clever idea on McQueens part; having the opening scene of this movie seem like the final scene of another.It’s sensible, yet revealing; it shows the danger this world manifest while giving insight into the main characters lives. This creates several different narratives all dealing with the same aftermath.It turns out the fellas rip off the wrong gangster turned politician played paper boi himself, Brian Tyree Henry. He leaves the refund bill with the main widow, the incredibly talented Viola Davis. She enlists the help of the other remaining widows for one last job to pay back the debt.After the film demands your attention, it holds it for a while with a deep roster of fantastic actors stacking their skills against each other.Of course Viola Davis is amazing. She owns the film. Seriously, it’s Viola Davis. We all know this. But everyone else just kills it. Liam Neeson owns the few scenes he is in. Watching Colin Farrell go toe-to-toe with Robert Duvall is impressive. Elizabeth Debicki goes from beaten up trophy wife to stone cold gangster by the time the credits role.McQueen is smart enough to only move the camera when he needs to. A few long takes exist, mostly to represent the emotional point of the scene, not for visual aesthetic. Although, it does look damn good.The movie is an emotional drama posing as a heist film. Which is fine for the most part. However, the pacing does lag towards the end of the second act. We’ve been watching these people deal with their emotional rollercoaster for so long, you want it to get back to the caper.Then again that’s not the point of the movie. It doesn’t glamorize the heist because the movie is not about the heist. It’s not sexy. The cinematography looks bleak because the lives of the main characters are bleak. This isn’t about some gentleman thief pulling off one last play with a ragtag crew. The ladies are doing this to survive.It properly represents the shake up that comes with a dramatic life change, which is something every character in the movie goes through. What better way to represent dramatic life change than having to turn into a criminal?Overall it is captivating and fair to the genre without overdoing it.I give this movie 2.8 out of 5 fake Chicago accents.I’m Chad with a Quick One, brought to you by Movie Night Autopsy.

Sam, of Movie Night Autopsy, reviews the new Nazi zombie horror movie, Overlord.What, what, what in the unholy Hell did I just watch? This is Sam, with a Quick One, brought to you by the crew from Movie Night Autopsy.OK, so first off, I just want to say I can't believe it took us so long to come up with a horror film about war, something so inherently horrible, but here we are, and at least we got here, and Overlord is just that.It's a horror movie. It's an unapologetic genre flick, if there ever was one, but when it's not that, it's a legitimately powerful take on war. From the opening moments centering on a squad preparing to drop in Nazi occupied France, and I can't believe I'm saying those words about a movie like this, the sense of camaraderie and brotherhood commonly associated with stories of war are ever present. The entire sequence of allied planes being shredded by German forces and the reaction of petrified, largely untested troops is among the most beautiful accomplishments I've seen on screen this year. At the heart of everything that happens moving forward, this is in fact a war movie.Now admittedly, the film deviates from historical cannon right away, as American troops weren't integrated until 1948, but history is irrelevant in this type of a story. Also, Javon Adepo just kills it, watch out for that guy he’s going places, but that's almost beside the point because everyone here is in on what's happening, and they are dedicated to fulfilling this vision of... just whoever was crazy enough to put all of this together. So as the flick starts by leaning hard on some Band of Brothers type of Saving Private Ryan aesthetic, the director gracefully, for lack of a better term, handles the genre-bending transition into the From Dusk till Dawn of the Night of the Living Dead-like place where this whole thing ends up, and that, is no small feat.It’s impressive as we weave our way through this horror show of a war story, and we eventually see it become a very different type of horror show, that I was never left questioning what I was seeing. I accept the films maniacal left turns — even embrace them — because of course, Nazi zombies, of course. It's not quite Wolfenstein: the Movie, which is almost what I was expecting, but the film succeeds on its own merits in just about every way that it can, and as long you know the cluster fuck of a movie that you're getting into, I think most movie goers are in for a good time at the theater, and all this despite having J.J. Abrams’ name on it. A wild, crazy, fun ride occasionally delving into the true stuff of nightmares, this one’s a winner for me. See it in IMAX if you have a chance. It’s worth it.4 Nazis and a half a zombie out of… something… you know. Whatever.I'm Sam, and this was a Quick One, brought to you by Movie Night Autopsy.P.S. What's the deal with kids just owning it in R-rated movies this year? Yeah, this one’s got one of those too.Thanks for listening.

This film literally screams in our faces about how dysfunctional the Wershe family really is, and reveals the true villain. Sam, of Movie Night Autopsy, talks about White Boy Rick. This week on Quick Ones.White Boy Rick is the true crime drama based on, get this, a true story. It follows a young man growing up in a dirt-poor Detroit neighborhood in the mid 80's. His sister is a junkie drug addict, two bad decisions away from being caught in a human trafficking ring, and his father is a hopeless gun runner, exploiting loopholes to make sales at gun shows (topical much?). Right away, the film literally screams in our faces about how dysfunctional the Wershe family really is, ending with grandma and grandpa having a yelling match with the single dad struggling to control his irate daughter. The "White Boy" Rick in question is played by Richie Merritt, making his on-screen debut. His dad, "White Boy" Rick, Sr., is of course, Wooderson from Dazed and Confused, and Bel Powley kills it as junkie sister, Dawn. While I'm on it, I have to say, the cast is incredible. Well, on paper anyway, and no one is bad in this film, but outside of the Ricks, Jr. and Sr., and to a lesser extent, the sister, no one else really has much to do. Then again, even if they did have more to do, when would they find the time to do it? The movie touches on many interesting dynamics, throughout, before quickly jumping to the next event, or sometimes, non-event. Something will happen and you think, narratively, this should be important later -- but then it never is. As for pacing, it's pretty rocky. That doesn't always have to be a bad thing, I loved Black Mass, another true crime story, but the events you choose to depict have to be relevant to one another in order to make sense on a narrative level, and to that extent, the film falls short. With a soundtrack that sounds more 70's than 80's, but a Detroit that looks as dirty and menacing as it should, the environment for the story is consistent enough, and generally framed very well. While the highs and lows don't make for great peaks or valleys, the third act has plenty to say about the justice system -- the true villain of the piece. Matthew McConaughey and Bel Powley give lights-out performances. Bruce Dern and Jenifer Jason Leigh couldn't be bad if they wanted to, and Jonathan Majors and Paperboi, from Atlanta, do the best they can with what little they get. Even with all that, there is this kid who comes around to tell Rick he's a "baby daddy" now, and that he needs to go do the right thing (somewhere in the middle). That kid is the real MVP. So while good, White Boy Rick is not great. The whole is not equal to the sum of its parts, but it was a good ride, and an interesting crime story with a heartbreaking end. I give this film 2 token black characters out of 5.Follow us on Twitter:@movie_autopsy@SamfashoM@onechadbeyond@AbstractGinger

We got the chance to see The Predator on opening weekend. Chad, of Movie Night Autopsy, breaks down the experience. Today on Quick Ones.I’m Chad with a Quick One, brought to you by Movie Night Autopsy.The fifth installment of The Predator franchise, simply titled, “The Predator”, dominated the box office this weekend. But it doesn’t dominate its own structural narrative.First, let’s talk about what this movie does well. It’s an action romp with plenty of violence and funny lines. If all you want is a way to kill a few hours, then ya; go see The Predator. It looks awesome.Some of the best movies of all time seem to be the ones that blur the lines between genres. Often times, filmmakers decide to take this gigantic step for a film to work on multiple levels. The Predator does the opposite of that. It can’t decide what movie it wants to be. Part of the time, it is a horror bloodfest with the only thing stopping the Predator from a waltz through slasher lane is a bigger, bloodier predator.It dabbles somewhat-well into ensemble territory with a diverse cast of capable actors such as Olivia Munn, Boyd Holbrook and Keegan-Michael Key. This lends itself more to the “dirty several” type of ensemble-filmmaking that we are beginning to see more of -- thanks to large tentpole comic book movies.It is a bit of a shock to see Key still act as the comedic relief, only because of the more diverse roles he has had in the past few years. The movie acting like a comedy is the closest thing working, but the back and forth of genre-jumping isn’t quite being pulled off in the way that was intended.The film absolutely deserves a mountain of credit for having a main character who is on the autism spectrum. Young actor, Jacob Tremblay, portraying Holbrook’s son is a credit to both the struggle and greatness that high-functioning children and their families go through. The movie successfully shows the skills and use of a talented individual.In many aspects, it’s still writer-director, Shane Black, doing what he was hired to do. He checks all the boxes. Brutal situations bumped up against quippy dialogue set during a major holiday. It just didn’t work here. It worked in the Nice Guys. Oh boy, did it work in the Nice Guys. Side note — Great flick.The idea sounds great on paper. Black played a minor role in the first Predator movie with an option to rewrite the script. He passed. Also, the more important fact that Predator 2 is basically a Lethal Weapon flick with the Predator in it.Listen very carefully, America. Predator 2 is really Murtaugh Versus Predator. It’s more Lethal Weapon than some Lethal Weapon movies. Once you see this, the movie makes more sense.I don’t deserve sole credit for this idea. It belongs to the whole Autopsy crew.We seem to find ourselves once again in a situation of claiming to move forward in cinema, but really it’s just mad mountain of lazy references and campy dialogue that we think will work because the classic one-liners of yesteryear were also campy.We keep trying to use the classics to move forward, but the movement is at the very most, lateral.I give The Predator 2.6 obscure Easter eggs out of 5.Thanks for tuning in.
