That’s less of a criticism of the recently released action film than it may sound, given that “The 355” features some pleasingly staged action sequences and character beats.

It can be a mistake to assume a writer knows what the tone of their own work should be....

Let Me In ironed out the kinks of Cloverfield Hammer Films With its urban disasters and post-9/11 dust clouds, “Cloverfield” manages, in its best moments, to be an above-average found-footage flick that puts the viewer on the street in the middle of a Godzilla-type monster attack on New York.
