Opens Aug. 26.
(Southside has already earned comparisons to Richard Linklaters 1995 walk-and-talk touchstone, Before Sunrise.)

But its Robert De Niro, as Durans fiery paternal trainer, who commands the screen and your sympathy.
Its a movie made by folks who know they can do better but couldnt be bothered.
Statham, a pretty minimal actor to begin with, seems to just be going through the motions.
(Ill let you guess which attribute applies to which actor.)
Worst of all is just how lazy the script is and how pedestrian the directing feels.

Suicide Squad
Now playing.
The stakes should feel higher.
Still, its nothing compared with how wasted Letos scene-stealing Joker is.
But hes stranded in the periphery.
But its a simple story, heartwarmingly told.
Is Petes Dragon shamelessly sentimental and manipulative?
But it works so well that you wont care a bit.B+
