Some crackling dialogue and a stunning Sam Rockwell performance are not enough to save this film. In Bruges is one of my favourites, but this thought it was a lot cleverer than it actually was.
I think people want this to be better than it is. It's 90 minutes of plot stretched over 3 hours. Martin Freeman and the CGI were the only things worth seeing.
Very odd story, transferred into an excellent documentary. I love that it blurs the line between interviews and dramatisations and that it doesn't have all of the answers at the end.
Not exactly fun. It seems to be shocking for the sake of it. Gains marks for genuinely strong performances and great production values, but loses marks for segments that are just sick.

Theories are bollocks, but interesting. Doc editing makes them blend into one gooey mess.Movie comment on Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Awful script, awful acting and an awful premise. Awful.Movie comment on Blade Runner

Can I just be the only person to say that this is completely rubbish? I may have to go and watch Raiders again to cleanse myself.Movie comment on The Birds

It's genius, up until the ending. It feels like it builds to a denouement, then just decides not to bother.Movie comment on Rare Exports

Surprisingly competent, until the terribly Hollywood ending. We all know how it should've panned out.Movie comment on The Imposter

Every time it got close to being watchable, Baz Luhrmann did something to really irritate me.Movie comment on Argo

Very strong movie. Genuinely thrilling.Movie comment on The Master

Beautifully acted and stunning to look at, but the plot is completely static and it think it's better than it is.Movie comment on Full Metal Jacket

Opening half is perfection. Second half is not as good, but isn't bad at all. The final sequence with the sniper is pretty good.Movie comment on The Campaign

If it had been played as a satire rather than a mass-audience comedy, it could've worked so well. Unforfunately, it's a mediocre misfire.Movie comment on Taken

Surprisingly fun actually, although it is remarkably ridiculous in more or less every way.Showing items 1 – 25 of 160
