Review: Get Hard

By Jaskee Hickman
March 26, 2015
in :  Reviews
Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell star in Warner Bros. Pictures' "Get Hard"

The thought of spending hard time in prison has the ability to frighten even the bravest people who don’t seem like the type that would frighten easily. That’s a place where anything goes, and forces you to answer a great deal of questions about yourself. For some, fighting through that is something that they have the ability to do before …

Kate Winslet and Shailene Woodley star in "The Divergent Series: Insurgent"

Divergent didn’t exactly win over as many people as its backers would have liked it to when it was released back in March of 2014.

Sean Penn stars in Open Roads Films' "The Gunman"

The Gunman not only falls short on the action itself, but it offers little else …

Jack O'Connell stars in Roadside Attractions' "71"

The course of a single night can alter your life in a plethora of ways. Those changes can be good or bad, but either way, they can be caused by events that you couldn’t forget regardless of how hard you try to. In Yann Demange’s ’71, we witness such a night containing such events that are powerful enough to transform …
