  1. While it's rarely scary, the film is often gory.

    More than just dumb, the picture is embarrassingly dorky.
  2. Mostly preposterous, and it has no dramatic center, but the racing scenes hold you in their death-trip grip.
  3. There's no mirth, and precious little passion, left in this house.
  4. Just coarse, clunky, jerry rigged, and -- worst of all -- not funny.
  5. Turns out to be the portrait of a serial yo-yo dieter, an impression enhanced by the 60 year old Berlin, who suggests less a former depraved scenester than a calorie compulsive Martha Stewart grown bored with good taste.

    Fine candy for mind and eye.
  6. Gillen can't make good on his gaze's search and destroy capabilities.
  7. The punchlines are as tired as Hogan looks.
  8. A suspenseful and delightfully creepy French drama.
  9. To dismiss this movie for being ''offensive'' would be to offer it high praise.
  10. Too arty by half.
  11. This cinematic stiff should have stayed buried.
  12. Circles the heart of noisy, modern Tehran with an informal, documentary-like freedom that is thrilling in its naturalism.
  13. Bridget's most attractive asset is that she's played by Renée Zellweger.
  14. The movie's got bounce. Spanked along by a soundtrack that has a surprising punky bite for something aimed at 13-year-olds.
  15. What slays them in the second balcony, though, flattens on the screen.
  16. A movie overtly designed to win attention (and not to do much else).
  17. Ends up blowing its own joke. Instead of making Joe blissfully arrogant in his Southern rock dude myopia, it turns him into a shuffling masochistic loser.

    Forgoes the destructo silliness of the original in favor of one too many bland self help subplots.
  18. Overstyled pseudo-thriller.
  19. Creates a flow of symbolism so potent, so transporting in its physicality, that its impact all but transcends its righteous liberal ''meaning.''
  20. Broody fun.
  21. Enjoyable only if you're under the age of 7 -- or the influence of psychedelic drugs.
  22. Depression is a fair subject for a movie, but this much moroseness shouldn't come to this little.
  23. Carries little in the way of passion or revelatory charge.
  24. Fierce, loving, and electric, this movie's got bite as well as bark.
  25. In a world full of off the rack thrillers, it's fine boutique quality.
  26. It was originally called ''Animal Husbandry,'' and while the producers were throwing away that title, they might have done well to chuck the movie along with it.
  27. It's Alan Cumming who takes over the movie as the impish mastermind Fegan Floop.
