Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Twisters (out Jul 11) is a standalone sequel (no returning characters) to the successful 1996 action film. The narrative is contrived but the three leads are great (Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos). Director Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) is a natural when it comes to the action genre. The pace is fast, the visual effects are convincing, and the sounds are epic. Grade: B.
