Mud, Myth, and Misfire: The Uprising Struggles to Soar
TL;DR
A roundup of four new releases: The Uprising is hampered by muddy realism and unfocused plotting; Practical Magic 2 stalls with a dull, TV-style sequel approach; Hope crafts a strange, awe‑driven sci‑fi creature feature with an enigmatic ending; By Any Means overdoes the violence and thriller mechanics, though Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II anchors the film with nuance.
