Review: Passengers

Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence star in Columbia Pictures' PASSENGERS

Much wasn’t known about Passengers before its release by anyone outside of the people who were directly involved with the film. Apparently, even the trailers gave up nothing.

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling star in Lionsgate's LA LA LAND

(L-r) Ciaran Hinds, Miles Teller and Aaron Eckhart star in Open Road Films' BLEED FOR THIS

Making a movie that’s looking to tell a true story while entertaining can be difficult. If course, you need the correct mix of realism and sensationalism when not everything adds up. That’s a balance that proves to be tough to accomplish sometimes. Bleed for This is no exception as it wants to tell an inspiring story, but they do so …
