-
Flawless (2007)"Polished but oddly lifeless heist thriller."
-
"To call the film noisy and brainless isn't even a criticism - it's unadulterated auto-porn, as shallow and shiny as it wants to be."
-
Escaflowne: The Movie (2000)"This beautifully animated epic is never dull."
-
"The best you can say is that it's all pretty harmless and pretty stupid."
-
Romance X (1999)"Visually stunning and breathtakingly frank, but thrill-seekers beware."
-
10th & Wolf (2006)"The narrative is cluttered with backstory, and the endless digressions overwhelm the efforts of a generally strong cast."
-
The Covenant (2006)"It fails utterly as a horror picture, although it delivers plenty of PG-13-rated flesh and unintentional laughs."
-
In Her Shoes (2005)"It's wonderfully satisfying: Collette, MacLaine and Diaz are exceptional, and the mix of humor and heartbreak is perfectly calibrated."
-
Hart's War (2002)"Despite its admirable sobriety for most of its running time, the film's climax is a parade of ludicrous clichés."
-
The Punisher (2004)"This comic-book-based revenge story is undermined by its inconsistent tone"
-
Vampire's Kiss (1989)"What truly distinguishes the movie is Cage's performance, which is so off the wall that even if you don't like it you have to watch in awe"
-
Dead Man’s Shoes (2004)"Though the story is formulaic, the bleakly naturalistic performances give it an uncomfortable sting"
-
London (2005)"The film delivers lots of high-pitched hysteria but never manages to make its spoiled protagonists interesting."
-
The Bridge of San Luis Rey (2004)"Though handsomely mounted, this parable of intersecting destinies and implacable tragedy is as lifeless as a wax tableau"
-
Reindeer Games (2000)"The plot's preposterous and Affleck is way too callow for a role that would have fit Robert Mitchum like a second-hand suit"
