Tom Holland ain't no Spider-Man in Cherry, a film based on a semi-autobiographical novel that concerns a young man who went to serve in Iraq, only to come back with PTSD that only heroin could soothe. It's a grim story, and the movie does a bad job of dramatizing it. And that's because directors Anthony and Joe Russo are too busy showing off to invest in the emotional resonance of their tale. My review is up at MEL.
