Vulture’s Alison Willmore argues that By Any Means is a flawed, conflicted Civil Rights-era drama: Mark Wahlberg’s prosthetic-heavy performance as Gregory Scarpa never truly disappears, while the film wobbles between credulous depictions of federal violence and cynical justifications of police brutality, leaving Yahya Abdul-Mateen II undercooked and the overall ambition mired in a messy, unfocused narrative.
An opinion piece arguing the 2022 Uncharted film stands as one of the worst video-game adaptations, blaming the miscast Mark Wahlberg as Sully (originally intended for Drake) and a decade of behind-the-scenes shuffles—from David O’Russell’s early pitch to Tom Holland’s casting—for a bland, soulless movie with a weak script, lackluster stunts, and direction. It notes fan-made versions (including Nathan Fillion in the Drake role) prove how the material could work, suggests the film’s release during peak Tom Holland fatigue didn’t help, and points out Uncharted is streaming on Hulu while urging viewers to just play the games instead.

Following its Prime Video release, Peter Farrelly’s Buddy comedy Balls Up, starring Mark Wahlberg, is drawing mostly negative early reviews. Critics fault the film for an underutilized ensemble and heavy crude humor, leaving Wahlberg feeling miscast; some even suggest the movie would have benefited from the manic energy of Jack Black or Jim Carrey. The film sits around 36% on Rotten Tomatoes from 14 reviews, with reviewers like Matt Zoller Seitz saying Hauser can’t salvage what’s perceived as a disaster. Farrelly, who won Oscars for Green Book, hasn’t matched that success with recent projects, though Balls Up features a cast that includes Benjamin Bratt, Eva De Dominici, Daniela Melchior, Molly Shannon, Sacha Baron Cohen and Eric André. The screenplay comes from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and the overall message from critics so far is disappointment.
