Open Grave may be one of Sharlto Copley's most obscure movies, but its premise of a group of people waking up in a corpse-filled pit with no memory of who they are is an intriguing one for a horror film. It also teams Copley with a supporting cast filled with underrated actors, including Thomas Kretschmann (The Pianist), Joseph Morgan (The Original...
A black comedy directed by the reliably unique Ben Wheatley and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Free Fireis a bottle film about an arms deal gone wrong that descends into a bloody shootout. Reviews for the movie were generally positive, with most critics considering it a fun thrill ride that, while not perfect, was certainly entertaining. Ho...
Coming out during the height of the found footage craze, Europa Report took the subgenre in a different direction by using found footage techniques in a sci-fi story with a cosmic horror edge. While Copley plays a supporting character in a large ensemble, he leaves quite the impression in his limited screen time as engineer James Corrigan, whose de...
Before John Krasinski hit it big as a director with A Quiet Place, he cut his teeth on some indie comedy-dramas, with The Hollarsbeing his second feature film. Krasinski plays a struggling graphic novel writer who goes to visit his mother while she undergoes brain surgery, setting up an emotional family reunion. The Hollars may not have gotten the ...
Neill Blomkamp's much-anticipated follow-up to District 9, Elysiummay not have reached the heights of acclaim of the director's debut, but it still found plenty of fans among both critics and audiences. Per typical Blomkamp fashion, the action and visual effects are great, and the social commentary, while unsubtle, probably increased some viewers' ...
As Hardcore Henry's split-down-the-middle critic scores can attest to, the film's central gimmick is a divisive one, but going first-person also puts a unique spin on a well-worn formula. While some may not have liked the movie feeling like a video game, others considered it a strength, and a testament to how video game elements can work on film if...
The 2010 reboot of The A-Teamunderperformed financially, and may not have spawned the franchise that 20th Century Fox was hoping for, but that doesn't mean the movie is lacking in charm. In fact, one of the best things about the movie is how well most of the cast emulates the characters from the show. As "Howling Mad" Murdock, Copley arguably comes...
Robots are such easily likable characters, so it's no wonder that Neill Blomkamp was surprised and deeply hurt by the negative reactions to Chappie. However, despite mainly negative reviews and weak box office performance, the movie has its share of admirers, and it attracts plenty of attention whenever it pops up on a streaming service like Netfli...
Arguably the movie that kicked off Disney's current remake craze, Maleficentreceived mixed reviews when it hit theaters, but it struck a chord with general audiences and was a box office hit. Much of that was down to Angelina Jolie's fantastic portrayal of the title character, who still has the power to entertain even if she lacks the deliciously e...
Produced by Peter Jackson and directed by rookie Neill Blomkamp after their Halo project fell through, District 9 was a sleeper hit that quickly joined the ranks of the best sci-fi moviesof all time. It's an excellent example of social science fiction giving filmmakers being used to shine a light on serious issues, as well as how good special effec...

- 'District 9' (2009) Copley's first major film role and potentially still his best. He plays Wikus van de Merwe, a dorky bureaucrat who works for the South African government.
- 'The A-Team' (2010) The original The A-Team is one of the most beloved TV shows of the 1980s, and this film adaptation attempts to reinvent the characters in a modern setting.
- 'Elysium' (2013) The second collaboration between Copley and Neil Blomkamp, Elysium, is an underrated Sci-Fi action movie that has much to say about class inequality.
- 'Maleficent' (2014) Released before Disney started to dilute their brand by releasing unnecessary live-action remakes, Maleficent retells the story of Sleeping Beauty through the eyes of its antagonist.
