Critic Reviews

Mr. Showbiz F. X. Feeney

This lightweight thriller has an enjoyable premise. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Cohen drives the film at a galloping pace, but it's not fast enough to outrun its absurdity. Read full review

Film.com Gemma Files

Not quite good enough to leave more than a vaguely pleasant, vaguely disappointing aftertaste. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Less interested in politics than in profitably flattering the suspicions and resentments of its intended teenage audience. Read full review

Peter Stack

So inept it's almost entertaining. Read full review

Godfrey Chesire

A silly, hackneyed college suspenser put across with all the contrived banality of a bad '70s TV movie. Read full review

Jay Carr

Plummets into the realm of ludicrous failure. Read full review

The concept of secret societies has captured people's attention since...forever? "The Skulls" is no different, with its intrigue and a bit of romance. Without giving away plot details, this movie was far more entertaining than the Metacritic score suggests. I actually own this on DVD andThe concept of secret societies has captured people's attention since...forever? "The Skulls" is no different, with its intrigue and a bit of romance. Without giving away plot details, this movie was far more entertaining than the Metacritic score suggests. I actually own this on DVD and would definitely buy this on blu-ray.

Most importantly... RIP Paul Walker.… Expand
