Iannucci’s brand of political satire is applied to one of the darkest chapters in modern history, with sensational results. The Lives Of Others with laughs, it’s farcical, frightening and a timely reminder that things could always be worse.- Empire

An ultraviolent Korean crime film with plenty of swagger and visual brio, but still too generic to really stand out from the pack.- Empire

It’s no masterpiece and admittedly slight at 85 minutes long. But Idiocracy is that rarest of things in this age of lazy laughs — a gutsy comedy with something to say. More importantly, it’s funny.- Empire

Kudos to Anderson and Gilroy for making a low-action, dialogue-heavy geopolitical thriller in this day and age. But aside from finally giving its star some strong material to work with, it doesn’t live up to its promise.- Empire

Some of the tension drains from a slow middle act, but it remains a gripping tale of sleuth-work and moral awakening.- Empire

One of Hollywood's forgotten masters and one of its brightest new actresses team for what could well be an Oscar wild card.- Empire
