    The Drowning
    The deeper Tom wades into this psychological morass, the more Danny's volatile behavior seems dictated by the screenwriters' convenience rather than by any plausible depiction of a tortured mind.

    Ripped
    Much of the humor in Ripped fails to inspire more than a mild chuckle at best, in part because Epstein’s deliberate pacing sucks the air out of countless scenes.

    Black Butterfly
    Black Butterfly plays as little more than the act of snickering adolescents toying with their audience, complete with an insulting final scene that confirms the film as a total waste of time.

    Too Late
    All the narrative hopscotching is little more than a superficial ploy to gussy up a clichéd redemption tale.

    Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon
    A glorified act of hero worship that leaves one hard-pressed to form any conclusion other than an infinitely positive one about Shep Gordon.

    Fading Gigolo
    The question of why one should actually work up any emotional investment in what happens to these people is never really answered, much less asked in the first place.

    Big Sky
    Jorge Michel Grau's ambitions are stalled by a screenplay that seems to have never made it past a first draft.

    Hitman: Agent 47
    If first-timer Aleksander Bach's choices as a director are any indication, he's a filmmaker who cares less about characters and actors than about dubious surface dazzle.

    Mr. Church
    Bruce Beresford's film is remarkable for how it manages to indulge so many offensive and shopworn clichés at once.

    Yoga Hosers
    Any of the film's attempts at moralizing are subsumed by Kevin Smith’s obsession with taking aim at his critics.

    Aardvark
    The film adopts a half-hearted variation on A Beautiful Mind's gimmicky approach to grappling with a man's mental illness.

    47 Ronin
    This botched vision accepts the warrior's nobility at face value and sees the story merely as a springboard for high-flying action and CGI special effects.

    Septembers of Shiraz
    While the film aims for humane evenhandedness, recognizing both Farnez's lower-class condescension and the revolutionaries' hypocrisy, the characters are so skin-deep that we never respond to them as people.

    Honeyglue
    [An] unintentionally hilarious tragic romance.
