Effective January 1st, 2009, The Dove Foundation Review Team has ceased reviewing all NC-17 rated movies and certain extraordinarily explicit R-rated films. This decision was reached due to the fact that Dove reviewers are parents or grandparents with conservative values. As such, we feel that we [...]

This fast-paced thriller features some tension but could use a bit more of it. Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake) has lousy timing. Every time he is making it big financially, something goes wrong. He is a graduate from Princeton and believes he's been duped so he makes a trip to Costa Rica to see a [...]

This film has some exciting race scenes which are to a great extent what the movie is about. It also features the handsome Chris Hemsworth from the Dove-approved films "The Avengers" and "Thor". His character, James Hunt from Britain, is quite a comparison to Niki Lauda (Daniel Burhl) from [...]

"2 Guns" is an action packed movie about two undercover government agents who are unwittingly duped into robbing a bank. However, the score is much larger than originally believed and they suddenly realize that they've been had. The rest of the film takes the audience on a thrill ride of a chase [...]
