Crowe Delivers a Deliriously Entertaining Turn in The Get Out

The Hollywood Reporter’s review finds Russell Crowe’s deadpan, goofy energy infectious in Derrick Borte’s comic neo-noir The Get Out, a film that blends humor with crime-thriller plotting but doesn’t always land the tonal shifts. Dobrev and Paul provide standout support, making the movie a mildly entertaining diversion that’s likely to fit a streaming window, anchored by Crowe’s performance and a memorable end-credits moment (Hotel California cover).

Mood Over Momentum: Hawke and Crowe Anchor The Weight's Depression-Era Tale

Padraic McKinley’s debut The Weight is a mood-driven Depression-era crime drama set in 1933 Oregon, with Hawke delivering a soulful center as a father caught in a ruthless gold-smuggling plot led by a corrupt warden (Crowe). While the film evokes 1970s survival thrillers and benefits from strong performances and a tense score, it remains murky and underpowered in storytelling, offering atmosphere more than sustained momentum at Sundance.

Russell Crowe Stars as a Wily Nazi in 'Nuremberg'

The film 'Nuremberg' directed by James Vanderbilt, starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek, offers a glossy, polished portrayal of the Nazi leaders' trial, focusing on psychological interviews rather than courtroom drama. While it features strong performances and high production values, it is criticized for its superficial treatment of the horrors and moral questions surrounding the trials, ultimately lacking the depth and reckoning of previous works like 'Judgment at Nuremberg.' The film underscores the ongoing relevance of justice and accountability but falls short of confronting the true horror and complexity of evil.
