10 Recent Movies That Blew Great Concepts

6. Cherry

The Russo brothers' Cherry was supposed to be a huge breakout role for Tom Holland, seeing him shed his wholesome Peter Parker image to play PTSD-afflicted war veteran-turned-bank robber Nico Walker.

Cherry definitely boasts a suitably epic true story ripe for the cinematic treatment, but despite the strength of Holland's performance, the movie is suffocated beneath the Russos' embarrassingly over-stylised filmmaking.

At a glance, you'd be forgiven for assuming you were watching an early 2000s cast-off, given that the Russos can scarcely sit their camera still for more than a moment, over-indulging a litany of exhausting, obnoxious, sub-Tarantino flourishes.

The script is smugly self-satisfied with its own "cleverness" throughout, unaided by a brutal 141-minute runtime which ensures a potentially fascinating movie and possible Oscar play for Tom Holland is transmuted into an interminably annoying slog.

More than anything, though, it posits a worrying truth, that the Russos were better directors when their creative reins were held by Marvel Cinematic Universe producer Kevin Feige.
