    • 44 Metascore
    • 60 Peter Brunette
    Compulsively watchable and its occasional lapses into that familiar Polanskian overkill are almost charming.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Peter Brunette
    An excellent coming-of-age story that is, for once, and very happily, focussed on a teenage girl.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Peter Brunette
    If you want to see an object lesson in how brilliant acting can transcend high concept, this movie's for you.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 80 Peter Brunette
    If you're interested in heavy-lidded moodiness and lots of attitude, Phillippe and Del Toro can't be beat.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Peter Brunette
    Simplistic and non-controversial, and thus is virtually guaranteed commercial success.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Peter Brunette
    It's solid, if ultimately uninspired, July entertainment.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 30 Peter Brunette
    It just doesn't work. Worse, it's downright offensive.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Peter Brunette
    By no means a bad film, but rather a way too over-eager one.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 30 Peter Brunette
    With the possible exception of the action sequences and the occassionally imaginitive set design, it's awful.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 80 Peter Brunette
    Lots of laughs, lots of fisticuffs, lots of cool toys, lots of stuff getting blown up: Who could ask for anything more from a summer movie?
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Peter Brunette
    Starts off brilliantly and then gradually -- actually, not so gradually -- peters out.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 50 Peter Brunette
    Tries so hard to push all the pre-ordained buttons, and it's so anxious to be liked, nay, adored, that it left me sullen and uninvolved instead.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 30 Peter Brunette
    The new dud from Miramax's Dimension label.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 50 Peter Brunette
    Ambitious and perversely fascinating.
