Doctor Sleep (2019)

I might never have imagined an adult Danny Torrance as Ewan McGregor (still weird), but I’ve already accepted…

…excessive Dutch angles and lighting colorful enough to make a young Dario Argento swoon.

…can’t create a rhythm and leaves long, uneasy spaces between relatively solid laughs.

Action is sparse, but when it arrives it does so as the thunderous culmination of well-built suspense.

…laughs to be had the campy plot and dialogue, and more than enough explosions, gunfire, and gore…

Jean Reno steps effortlessly into the character he was born to play…

…an inoffensive time-waster for fantasy fans who don’t turn up their noses too quickly…

…witty and highly comical (including the substitution of “cuss” for almost every expletive used)…

…with a trio of intriguing performances from Washington, Malek, and Leto driving the mystery towards it’s end.
