TEN TURKEYS

(12)

This uneven weepy can’t decide on what type of film it wants to be and left me feeling cold.

The Boss

A throwaway and inconsistent comedy that fails to make the most of Melissa McCarthy’s talent.

Jane Got a Gun

A troubled production led to an uneven tone and a sluggish slog through the Old West .

The Shallows

This shark thriller botches an intriguing premise with a dumb script full of unlikely occurrences.

Turtles Out of the Shadows

Continuing to ruin my childhood, this mess of a sequel was even worse than its predecessor.

The Forest

Lazy clichés and familiar scares abound in a supernatural thriller that ends with a whimper.

Cell

Having read the book, this Stephen King adaptation was a huge letdown, with a dire climax.

Ben-Hur

Lacking the original’s scope and grandeur, this redundant remake is criminally slow and dull.

Angry Birds

A thin plot with jokes that fall flat. This take on the popular video game should’ve stayed grounded.

Gods of Egypt

A tacky, headache-inducing‘epic’ with lame attempts at dram a, selfish heroes and dodgy CGI.
