  1. A mess.
    • Baltimore Sun
  2. Brosnan turns his typical talent on its head. So does director Boorman, who forsakes his usual tingling virtuosity.
  3. A headlong pastiche of lower-depth melodrama and absurd black comedy.
  4. The movie's not nearly as cool as the setup.
    • Baltimore Sun
  5. This chick flick never should have made it out of the incubator.
    • Baltimore Sun
  6. So minimalist that you wouldn't miss much if you watched semi-awake and listened to a friend's running commentary.
  7. As each male-female relationship works itself out in ways either contrived or predictable, here's betting you wind up more disappointed than enlightened.
    • Baltimore Sun
  8. To its credit, Heartbreakers lives up to expectations. Almost.
    • Baltimore Sun
  9. Most of the film is one big blooper reel. There's not enough of a gap between the rejects and the finished movie.
  10. A remarkable film about a remarkable man who's lived the kind of life usually reserved for adventure novels and pulp fiction.
    • Baltimore Sun
  11. Keeps its eye on the big picture even when focusing on the small scene.
    • Baltimore Sun
  12. The dramatic content in Memento is as blank as Leonard's post-traumatic mental state.
    • Baltimore Sun
  13. It was a time in history eminently worth celebrating on film.
    • Baltimore Sun
  14. This movie is about the survival of the open-minded. As far as current American independents go, it's the fastest and the funniest.
    • Baltimore Sun
  15. Poses as the story of a wild, eccentric love match but is really about a match made in limbo.
  16. A delightful and exuberant bit of romantic comedy and, as a bonus, it breathes new life into a pair of '70s musical chestnuts long off our culture's radar screens.
    • Baltimore Sun
  17. The unearned air of moralism that wafts through 15 Minutes pollutes its entertainment value.
  18. A feel-good us-against-them tale that panders mercilessly to its audience, yet displays a few moments of honest humor.
    • Baltimore Sun
  19. From the start, this movie sets the bar high -- then, unfortunately, runs smack into it.
    • Baltimore Sun
  20. Unpretentious and brashly exploitative.
    • Baltimore Sun
  21. The Mexican is its own worst enemy, consistently undermining its best efforts. The result is an over-long series of quirks, a film that's far less than the sum of its often amusing and ingenious parts.
    • Baltimore Sun
  22. This sophomoric film has little to do with Elvis, and everything to do with putting as much carnage as possible on screen under the guise of art, poetry, choreography, taxidermy.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 40 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    A raunchy, remorseless "Curious George."
    • Baltimore Sun
  23. Thanks to the wonderful performances from both Korzun and Considine, there isn't a forced or dishonest moment on-screen.
  24. Its heart and head are in the right place, but its feet and hands aren't busy enough.
    • Baltimore Sun
  25. Hannibal isn't art. But for filmgoers with a taste for the absurd and a tolerance for the blackest of black humor, it's one heck of a thrill ride.
    • Baltimore Sun
  26. All about mood, and not one bit about action - which explains why it's at once both the most passionate film of the year so far, and the most determinedly inert.
    • Baltimore Sun
  27. A more honest version of "Summer of '42."
    • Baltimore Sun
  28. When the women are onscreen and their relationship is on display, Head Over Heels trips merrily along. But every time the focus shifts to Prinze, the film suffers from a bad case of fallen arches.
    • Baltimore Sun
  29. Nicholson is terrific here, in a role that demands he act, rather than just be Jack.
