DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "JUDAS & THE BLACK MESSIAH" 2021 

Based on a true story on how the FBI offered a plea deal to an insider who's job was to share information so they could infiltrate the Black Panther HQ featuring LaKeith Stanfield as "Bill O'Neill" and Daniel Kaluuya as Fred Hampton.

Personal Rating 7.8/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 7.5/10

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "TOM CLANCY'S WITHOUT REMORSE" 2021 

Staring Michael B Jordan as the main lead, we follow an elite Navy Seal who uncovers a conspiracy between two powerful nations at war.

Its one thing uncovering such a crime its another when it gets personal that his family is in grave danger and hunts out for answers to this whole plot.

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "ZACK SYNDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE" 2021 

With the original release in 2017, there was a lot of expectation especially for the DC fanbase with Marvel having a successful run of films. This Director's version for me was much better and fully enjoyed from start to finish.

The real question at the end is where do we go from here as there's rumours that there is no other films that will continue from this version. Despite that we can't take away this is up there for the DC faithfuls when we had the luxury of being wooed when Wonder Women took to our screens.

Simply put if your a Superhero fan whether your DC or Marvel its a must watch.

Personal Rating 7.9/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 8.2/10

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "GODZILLA VS KONG" 2021 

After Skull Island i had my reservations that this would be a hit or miss for the overall film fan and if you're a fan of both titans then you will gravitate to this film.

For those who are watching it with fresh eyes will enjoy the storyline that is captured by the Director Adam Wingard.

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "THUNDER FORCE" 2021  

When two childhood friends form an unlikely partnership later in life to be the saviours of the world, we call Thunder Force.

Starting Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy as the leading ladies in this Superhero action thriller. This is one for the film goers who love an easy action movie with light humour.

Personal Rating 5/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 4.4/10

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "TWO DISTANT STRANGERS" 2021 

Two Distant Strangers focuses on how Black Americans suffer in the hands of Police Officers. This short film shows one guy stuck in a time loop which he can't seem to get out of and ends in the worst way possible.

Personal Rating 7/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 6.9/10

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "BAD TRIP" 2021 

Whacky comedy that puts the real actors in the realm of pretending to be normal while encouraging a reaction to the general public.

In a nutshell its a film that makes the participants feel they have been punked.

Personal Rating 6/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 6.6/10

 

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "PELE" 2021  

We follow the story of the great man himself Pele, as this bio documentary shares an overview of one of the greatest players to ever play the beautiful game.

How one young man’s dream carried the weight of a nation to rise from poverty and dictatorship era.

Personal Rating 7.5/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 7.4/10

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "NEWS OF THE WORLD" 2021  

Set at the end of the Civil War, "Kidd" played by Tom Hanks, he crosses path with a young girl called "Johanna" played by Helena Zengel.

Kidd makes it his duty to try and get the young girl back to her family but its no easy feet with the treacherous conditions they have to tackle through Texas.

For me its another Netflix special with lead cast but story just under par to make this a classic.

Personal Rating 6.5/10 - | Critics Rating (IMDd) - 6.8/10

DEX FLIX'S FILM REVIEW "THE MAURITANIAN" 2021 

Based a on true story about a suspected 9/11 terrorist in Guantanamo Bay, who has been wrongly prisoned for 6 years. It takes a US Attorney, her associate and military prosecutor to unveil all the wrong doings which has led to this conspiracy.

This film features the likes of Jodie Foster is fierce as ever, Tahar Rahim playing the key suspect, Shailene Woodley and Benedict Cumberbatch as the supporting cast.
