    The movie's original moments drown in its overall derivation.

    If FrontRunners doesn't teach you something about politics, at least it will entertain you.
  1. Depressingly inert.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Worth seeing for its solid first two acts, some terrific acting by some favorite character actors, and a several solid spook-show scares.
  2. Even if you already knew the facts, you won’' be able to help but reflect in awe at how much progress in the fight against discrimination has been made on a societal level.

    Excellent directing coupled with a smart script and solid acting make Choose Connor a movie worth your time.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In the vast wasteland of romantic comedies, this lovely film defies the tired genre.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you're a fan of the early Ritchie comedy-crime thrillers, then this is not only right up your alley, it's a long lost relative returning home.
  3. Packs a full plate of gasps and giggles.
    • 41 Metascore

    Isn't nearly as offensive to the senses as I originally thought it would be when first presented with the trailer.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    The able cast can't swim through the muck.
  4. The role is ill-suited for Kinnear's talents. Abraham's pacing is glacial, the cinematography is flat, the score by Jill Savitt is suited better to a supermarket and then there's the fact that the climax can be seen coming a mile away. Maybe the biggest, though, is its failure to play fair with the audience.

    As successful as this family drama is, Demme proves himself to be quite a multitasker. With the skill of an ethnographer and the passion of a sentimentalist, he celebrates the traditions of marriage in a handful of tender set pieces.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    What they produced is something that is true not just to this place or to these people's lives, or to the lives of poor people or black people, but to the experience of being human.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In the end, the film isn't a complete waste of your time, and it is a neat little walk down a Patriot Act assisted cyber-terrorist "what if..." scenario, but don't expect anything brilliant.
  5. So think of it this way: Miracle at St. Anna is a Spike Lee joint that possesses a European texture in the vein of Guillermo Del Toro and Jean Pierre-Jeunet. Imaginative, thought-provoking, and intense.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The film feels flat. I don't know how to express my criticism much more than to say that things unfold before you, but you never really engage in the world beyond just watching it.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Just the type of small film that, if given a chance to be seen by audiences, could become somewhat of a hit for grownups ala "Sideways" or "The Squid and the Whale."
  6. This is what "Nightmare" fans have been waiting fifteen years for.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A pretty provocative film, that is until it implodes into standard formulaic Hollywood crap.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The romantic subplot dovetails wonderfully with Harris' tribute to the genre's golden age. The moral quest of taming the West always thrived if a lady could be won in tandem.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Overall, director Deborah Kempmeir mistakes ominous and depressing for deep and meaningful, a misfire that undermines the effect it tries to achieve.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A roller coaster of emotions that will have you laughing one moment and gasping in shock the next.
  7. I'd like to recognize Russell Gewirtz for a screenplay that boasts humor, an impressive plot twist, and for setting up plenty of room for De Niro and Pacino to get their grooves back in order.
  8. Like Ed Wood with a decent budget and a vision impaired by mind-expanding drugs, Christmas on Mars is about just that.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Racism, teen sex, and war are all hot button issues. When you are a young person these things can seem new and confusing. In Alan Ball’s genius Towelhead, all of those above mentioned subjects go hand-in-hand in a truly wonderful cinematic experience.
  9. I didn't hate this film. I didn't find it to be a waste of time or brain waves. Given the reasons I saw the film, I suppose I'm 50% disappointed.

    This Scottish film often pushes for realism, though its stylish tones fall back on whimsy.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This simple film can be quite a great diversion from our every day grind. The camera style, characters, and visual look are all quite impressive, while maintaining an easy accessibility for the audience's eyes. It is only too bad that the film feels so sluggish.

    Wants to be three different films at one time but sadly never asks much from Diesel other than to grunt, stomp around, and reprise the role that made him a star.
