  1. Mostly hot air.
  2. When the submarine has to dive 400 meters beneath the surface to avoid detection, you can practically feel the water pressure crushing in on the sailors.
  3. So sharp and dryly urbane in its mod-Brit take on the noir, noir, noir, noir world of gambling, dames, and pulp fiction, it makes higher-profile attempts like ''Rounders'' look blah, blah, blah, blah.
  4. Glum and preposterous -- an operatically stilted adolescent martyr fantasy -- and yet, as staged by Coppola, it's well worth seeing.
  5. Lathan, charismatic and beautifully strong, holds the screen in every scene.
  6. I don't know that Where the Money Is would work at all were it not for what we, the audience, bring into the theater.
  7. This lone, fallen Nazi's obsessive distance from his actions is enough to give The Specialist a lingering chill.
  8. Commits sins of romantic comedy as well as sins of spiritual tragedy.
  9. A movie in which the easy socio-racial paradoxes have been diagrammed with more care than the relationships
  10. Ends up about as exotic as a straight-to-cable potboiler.
  11. Funny, pungent, and weirdly gripping.
  12. Bullock gives it her all; she's bristling and alive on screen in a way that she hasn't been since ''Speed.''
  13. Tom Cudworth's script nails the ale-drenched details of twentysomething existence.
  14. Hunt is so vibrant that the movie suffers when she's not around.
  15. Rachel Griffiths...is the best reason, nay, the only reason to pay attention to Me Myself I.
  16. The drama ultimately retreats to safer, duller, more illogical, and more reactionary impulses and stereotypes.
  17. Wargnier directs his French historical drama, a foreign film Oscar nominee, in a way that allows little perspective on the extent of Stalinist cruelty; even when terrible things happen, they do so sedately.
  18. A great, searching, incendiary chronicle of the Sex Pistols, the razor-hearted visionaries of punk anarchy.
  19. A delicate yet haunting movie, a meditation on friendship, on the roots of bohemianism, on the sad comedy of madness.
  20. It just makes you want to flip on the tube to see the real (fake) thing.
  21. A pulsating snapshot of America caught in a mad, liberating identity crisis.
  22. The movie, while heartfelt and vividly shot, takes too many rote genre turns.
  23. This trip down The Road to El Dorado proceeds under the speed limit all the way.
  24. Antielitist, anti-hypocrisy, pro-feel-good entertainment.
  25. For all its music-trivia affection, High Fidelity is finally a pretty thin melody.
  26. (Denis's) visual style is hypnotic, rapturous, and she makes barren landscapes look gorgeous, hard men look vulnerable.
  27. While never slow, the film feels quiet and spacious, like a prayer.
  28. Love means never having to say you're recycling plot material.
  29. Be wary of any movie in which the hero is monosyllabic and a stutterer at the same time.
  30. Populated by ersatz versions of stars who, in this case, are fairly vanilla to begin with.
