Director Adam Carter Rehmeier (“Dinner in America,” “Snack Shack”) and screenwriter Tom Dean keep this thriller zipping along but what really fires it up are its two leads and a great assist from Kyra Sedgwick in a hold-on-to-your-socks cameo. Go to Full Review

Carolina Caroline is a very straightforward crime thriller that doesn’t offer much of a spin on its familiar Bonnie and Clyde tropes, but it has enough style to keep it from being a total wash. Go to Full Review

This film touched all the live wire points of a Bonnie & Clyde style, plus Weaving and Gallner were both exemplary. I got detached in the beginning because I felt Weaving was not the right type to portray a woman in Caroline's situation. Go to Full Review

It doesn’t reinvent the wheel – it is unequivocally a Bonnie & Clyde reimagining updated to fit the modern times and layered with an Americana aesthetic – but thanks to Weaving and Gallner Carolina Caroline is nonetheless effective. Go to Full Review
