    Hamlet
    May well be the dullest and most pointless version ever filmed, thanks to a stunningly bad lead performance by Ethan Hawke.

    Plunkett & Macleane
    A noisy, amateurish mess that doesn't work on any level - an extended, clich-ridden MTV video set to anachronistic bad music.
    • 25 Metascore

    Dragonfly
    Hollywood movies are rarely as contemptuous of the audience as Dragonfly, with its half-witted, treacly New Age sappiness and its mechanical borrowings from other, better supernatural thrillers.

    Fallen Angels Paradise
    The screenplay by Zekri (based on Jorge Amado novel) is crude stuff, and director Ossama Fawzi gets such cartoonish performances from his cast, it's hard to care about the characters.

    Rush Hour 2
    The contrast between Chan's charm and physical prowess and Tucker's lack of same is even more dramatic in this tiresome, leaden sequel.

    Brother
    Takeshi's elliptical directorial style here is overwhelmed by the script's crudeness and lack of narrative power.

    Big Momma's House
    Intermittently funny, often vulgar.

    Cradle 2 the Grave
    Would be a perfectly decent B-action movie if it weren't shipwrecked in the last act by laughably ridiculous plotting and a lazily executed climax.

    15 Minutes
    Works just fine as a generic but fast-paced - and rather ugly - cop buddy flick.

    Best Laid Plans
    A cast almost talented enough to distract you from Ted Griffin's gimmicky screenplay.

    Downtown 81
    Amateurish in the extreme, the film is a feast of bohemian cliché, bad writing and worse acting.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Anatomy
    It's hoary and clunky even by the low standards of contemporary thrillers.

    Thirteen Ghosts
    What follows is very gruesome indeed, though the footage of people being chased by hideous ghosts soon becomes rather dull.
    • 12 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Slackers
    So patchy in its laughs, so calculated in its grossness and so lacking in genuine comic exuberance, it makes you look at "Road Trip" in an admiring new light.

    Never Die Alone
    What dooms Never Die Alone even as amoral pulp entertainment is the screenplay by neophyte James Gibson, which combines clichéd characters and a contrived plot with stale dialogue.

    American Virgin
    A bad film with some oddly charming moments.
    • 44 Metascore

    The Ninth Gate
    A non-thrilling occult thrillersolame and unoriginal that it would be an embarrassment for any director, much less a talent like Roman Polanski.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Under Suspicion
    A profound disappointment, given its cast and source material.
    • 28 Metascore

    Third World Cop
    The acting, camera work and writing are all crude and amateurish, even by the standards of student films.
    • 39 Metascore

    Reign of Fire
    It strains belief that nuclear weapons couldn't kill off the dragons, but three people with crossbows could.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Bait
    One of those thriller-comedy combos that never get the balance quite right.

    Vengo
    Neither convincing nor remotely dramatic.
    • 68 Metascore

    Come Undone
    One of those French films whose makers won't lower themselves to tell a story in a way that is entertaining or compelling.

    Teknolust
    It's muddled and shallow and obvious. Worse, it fails as entertainment, being so ineptly directed and written it often has the feel of a high school production by kids with more money and ambition than talent.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Half Past Dead
    Has the cheesy, deadened feel of a straight-to-cable film.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Signs & Wonders
    Smug, often tedious, and comically crude.
    • New York Post
    • 34 Metascore

    Red Planet
    Isn't as bad as the year's first abysmal Martian movie, "Mission to Mars," but it's pretty close.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    An ugly, failed attempt to pull off a "Heathers"-style, teen-oriented black comedy.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Town & Country
    The film is clearly an unfinished work and one that feels like a ragged assemblage of parts from at least two entirely different movies all with the same cast.

    Final Destination 2
    Alas, the laughs - courtesy of screenwriters J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress and director David R. Ellis - are unintentional.
