Motherless Brooklyn Movie Review
If you’re an Ed Norton fan, and I can’t imagine you’re not, he will not disappoint you with his latest directorial effort, which he also wrote the screenplay for, ‘Motherless Brooklyn.’ Doing double duty behind the camera wasn’t good enough; he also stars in it and turns in another exceptional performance.

The Kill Team Movie Review
The point that a leader of young men is trying to recruit his greenhorns to perform illegal acts is peppered throughout the film in shocking and despicable ways. The narrative strongly focuses on Staff Sergeant Deeks, portrayed cold-heartedly by Alexander Skarsgård.
