Critics Consensus:Closed Circuit

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Focus Features new drama about a terrorist attack!
Focus Features hardly ever delivers a disappointment. Whether it's the stop-motion phenomenon's from Laika or the biblical films that are sleeper hits Focus usually hits the right notes. Like even The World's End came out last week and that was amazing. 
Unfortunately that does not work this time Closed Circuit is not a bad movie and the acting is certainly there it's just that the script is predictable and full of plot holes as NPR and New York Daily News stated. Closed Circuit definitely has potential it's just it should have been more fleshed out.
Overall see this only if you want to.
Closed Circuit is rated R.

One Of The Worst:Getaway

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new action movie starring Ethan Hawke!

In early 2013 Warner Bros bought a deal with Dark Castle Entertainment to publish their movies. The first one was Bullet In The Head and that was supposed to be Sylvester Stallone's comeback but no one saw it. He still owns debt on that movie. Now one of the last movies from Dark Castle is set to be released. Hate to break it to you Ethan Hawke but a 2% aint looking so good.
Yep. That's the score Getaway has on RottenTomatoes and I doubt it will get any better. At Friday it had a 0%. You ask why? Getaway is insanely generic and just to top that insanely fast paced FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE MOVIE. If you do ever see this movie due to someone torturing you, bring popcorn as a life preserver.
Overall just don't.
Getaway is rated R.

One Of The Worst:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out Of The Shadows

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new TMNT game!
GameInformer rarely ever gives a 2.0 or a 3.0. But 2013 is now and all the awes it has brought us such as The Last Of Us,Tomb Raider, and Bioshock Infinite come with a price. It seems that every amazing game comes with a god-awful game and that is no exception when it comes to TMNT:Out Of The Shadows.
  • Technical limitations scatter this game off the charts
  • The environments are reminiscent of a PSone title
  • The character models are graphically outdated.
  • Level depending enemies sometimes disappear before tutorials causing restarts of entire half hour sessions.
  • Co-op text is so small it's unreadable.
  • Occasional texture pop-ups and fragments
  • Invisible Walls are nearly everywhere. 
  • You sometimes can fall through the floor.
Keep in mind that all of these things were not just from GameInformer's review. They were from gameblog.fr and GameTrailers too.
Overall do not buy this game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out Of The Shadows is rated M. 


Critics Consensus:Madden NFL 25

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Madden! EA is really gonna have a predicament when they release a Madden in 2025.

Every year there is a new Call Of Duty, Madden, and FIFA. Every year the quality either increases or decreases. But because so many people play Madden they probably won't know the difference. But if you're a football diehard let's see if Madden 25 is for you.
Madden 25 is not perfect with technical setbacks and glitches askew but it is definitely a good purchase of sixty for a football fan. Whether it be the realistic injuries if a player get's hurt, new and improved graphics and physics and updated commentary Madden 25 certainly deserves it's 81 on Metacritic. (Cited:EGM,Dark Station,LevelUp)
Overall get this game if you like football.
Madden NFL 25 is rated E.
