I admit was slightly annoyed when I heard another Robin Hood movie was being released.

Widows Breaks the Rules
For those not invested in the history of independent film, a film like Widows could be nearly inexplicable. It is, at its core, an action heist thriller that shares tone with ’90s indie crime films like The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, or One False Move. In a reversal of the usual career trajectory,…
