65

The Adam Driver-starring thriller is a lean, mean exercise in sci-fi suspense set far in our planetary past (if only by sheer misadventure).

65 is a gruesome thing to watch, even for dinosaur lovers—and not much fun, either.

Driver gives a Driver-level performance and it’s a tight 90 minutes. And those two aspects alone are enough for a passable dino actioner.

65 is essentially a big-budget version of a simple, made-for-streaming creature feature, nothing more and nothing less.

The revelation that accompanies the title card for Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ 65 all but demands a hearty guffaw, except this is a film that knows little of humor.

While there’s not enough outer space to call it an intergalactic odyssey and barely enough dino havoc, 65 has just the right amount of vigor to survive its relatively short runtime.

Just an average sci-fi story with no chemistry between the two leads.

... A fantastic premise that fails to take full advantage of its own approach and, although it wants to amuse us to the fullest, it remains an irresistible video store cover. [Full review in Spanish]

65 isn't creative at maximizing its possibilities, but... it sustains its idea with the efficiency of a sci-fi paperback. [Full review in Spanish]

"65" is from the writers of "A Quiet Place," but it lacks any of the creativity or emotion of that film. The film wastes all the potential world building in the setup, and instead delivers a bare bones "get from point A to point B" movie.
