This subversive, unsentimental adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel gets a fabulous 4K transfer from Kino Lorber.
I Am Greta isn’t so much an activist documentary as it is one about an activist.
The film is good enough to redeem the bad taste that lingered from its predecessors but too uninspired to make one want more.
Linda Hamilton at least makes a killer impression as Sarah visits fiery justice upon Gabriel Luna’s terminator.
Twenty-six years after its release, it’s difficult not to watch Terminator 2: Judgment Day through a scrim of irony.
