Spiral
Directed by Darren Lynn BousmanWorking in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel "Zeke" Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city's gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer's morbid game.
Spiral Ratings & Reviews
- AngusMcNutzJuly 1, 2025Lionsgate exec busting in drunk to a 6 am production meeting at TP: "Oh damn y'all got a decent story? Mind if I scrap it and make this whole thing a waste of time? Don't worry, I've been watching a lot of Criminal Minds, -hic- I got this."
- DigitalDisappointmentApril 8, 2025I think the movie was alright, overall, with the caveat that they at least acknowledge where they came from and what inspired the movie. I think if they'd done it without a single nod to the original, this would have felt like a totally cheap, shameless rip-off. On it's own merits, not bad, had some really good moments and reveals.
