    Horror presented without restraint or apology, as a full-bore, blood-soaked load of nomad nastiness caught in constant forward motion.

    • 80 Gemma Files
    A gorgeous and enduring piece of work.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Gemma Files
    One of the most consistently amusing ways in which it frustrates audience expectations has to do with how amazingly little of this very violent cast of characters' violence actually ends up being expressed onscreen.

    If you're looking for something child-appropriate that'll actually keep the little darlings awake for two hours straight, you'd do better...and cheaper...to just stay at home with the Discovery Channel.

    • 70 Gemma Files
    Here in the rotting depths of pulp horror/adventure territory, that's the entire point of the exercise.

    • 70 Gemma Files
    A two-hour slice --of comedy pie.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Gemma Files
    Starting small and building steadily, the movie reaps some fall-down funny laughs.

    • 20 Gemma Files
    Tired, overcomplicated mix of macho bullshit.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 30 Gemma Files
    It's all quite precious, just not in a good way: "Postmodern" to a fault, deeply shallow, infuriatingly trite.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Gemma Files
    A fascinating combination of dare, stunt and genuine artistic risk -- often disorganized, but never less than entertaining.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 100 Gemma Files
    It always surprises, never bores. It's also just damn good, on every possible level -- so go see it. Now.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Gemma Files
    The lack of chemistry between he (Yun-Fat) and Foster is truly striking: so much so, in fact, that the strain of trying to manufacture some keeps her looking on the verge of outright illness throughout.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Gemma Files
    Has a soundtrack crammed with infectious music gleaned from fairly surprising sources.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Gemma Files
    But it IS enjoyable.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 70 Gemma Files
    Silly in some parts, but sheer fun in most, Bootmen will get you wiggling in your seat with a big grin pasted on your face.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 90 Gemma Files
    Sweet and hilarious, a classic crowd-pleaser which elevates rather than eviscerates the homespun eccentrics who make up its cast of characters.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 80 Gemma Files
    Ferociously inventive.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Gemma Files
    Subtle, strange, off-putting, fascinating.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 80 Gemma Files
    What ensues is never exactly unpredictable, but always witty, fresh and fun.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Gemma Files
    If the current flood of pre-millennial tension movies teaches us nothing else, it demonstrates how desperate we've all become to see whether we could make our peace in the time provided, if forced to by circumstances beyond our control.
