    All such good intentions collapse by the third act, when Mission to Mars becomes a tediously late pastiche of chimerical nonsense from the early 1980s.

    The lure of Sling Blade is both elemental and hauntingly familiar, and I would not be surprised if Thornton's breakthrough film is one day considered a classic in its own right.

    Firmly establishes Crowe as a standard-bearer of original thinking in the dispiritingly redundant state of American cinema. Don't miss this one.

    So funny and smart that holding it up against its predecessor is as pointless as comparing peak episodes of "Seinfeld."

    I would rather have been scraping gum off my shoe than sitting there another minute.

    Watching Left Behind's plodding screen adaptation may make you feel the Deity has already abandoned us to a shockingly dull post-apocalypse.

    If McCulloch can draw this much humanity out of his actors, and do it in comedies with a deceptively easygoing poignancy, he's definitely a director to watch.

    In the tradition of "Sunrise" and "Eyes Wide Shut," crises set the characters on a kind of dreamy, nocturnal journey through chaos and fear.

    Certainly one of his (Scorsese's) most profound works.

    We're forced to listen to misogynistic rantings devoid of wit, entertainment value, or even authenticity.

    There's a lost opportunity here.

    Nearly incomprehensible story.

    It does yield solidly comic performances.

    Not a waste of time, but not quite in control of its destination.

    Levinson is at the top of his game with Liberty Heights, his instincts acutely cinematic, his purpose clear.
    • 35 Metascore

    So mired in his own ludicrous equation for contemporary action pictures that it's constantly stuck in first gear.

    When Phillips is out of the zone, however, Road Trip slows down, awaiting another redemption.

    This is a pretty leaden cinematic experience.

    Soderbergh appreciates the value of having fun with a so-so script, turning its cliches into fresh experiences and infusing energy into the margins of a predictable story.

    Can anyone but a lapsed Catholic possibly be interested in this unpleasant, anti-Papist creepshow?

    A black comedy that never gets black enough to inspire Farrelly-style decadence.

    The film isn't merely bungled. It's starved and battered by Lichtenstein.

    For Stallone, and his original script for Driven reflects a more mature, self-effacing perspective.

    Doesn't go the distance in either story or style, unwilling to liberate itself from real or presumed expectations about what it takes to sell a movie featuring teenagers.
    • 37 Metascore

    Comes across as a deceptively streamlined comic-drama; an unnervingly violent, gritty film noir with a wink.

    The would-be emotional centerpiece of his three-hours-plus adventure flick is the most juvenile romantic tale of 1997.

    Gun Shy can't rise on wobbly legs, and its real potential is lost for good.

    An exquisite trio.
    • 48 Metascore

    A huge surprise: a startlingly resonant yet unabashedly entertaining slice of American history, a popcorn movie with complex observations about, of all things, racism.

    Look to the cast as the best reason to see this film.
