🚨 #ReadyOrNot2: ⭐⭐⭐ (out in cinemas now)
"The stakes are double or nothing with Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, but the film suffers without the surprise factor. However, the film’s chaos and Newton and Weaving’s chemistry make the sequel a fun time."

Wasn't a big fan of #TheTestamentofAnnLee, either:
