Rowan Atkinson's spy spoof is wildly uneven and yet, at times, nothing less than wildly entertaining.

Traverses between past and present, using archival material and computer techniques to paint a portrait of the effects of predatory mining practices on this small American town.

Small, amateurish Israeli feature.

Nighy is superb as usual in a much meatier role than even he usually gets. And Byrne makes her character far more three-dimensional than the shallow creature she could have been.

The filmmakers tried to give everyone a main storyline and ended up diluting everything. With so many characters, the film lost some focus.

An exciting time at the movies, where you don’t smell something burning and realize it’s your brain cells dying off. During the summer movie season, that’s rather hard to avoid. But this movie has avoided it and it’s time well spent.

Madame Sata may be based on real events, but it's certainly not a very pleasant introduction to Rio's bohemian scene, circa 1931. Nor is it a very pleasant movie to endure in its own right.

Has an underlying charm that drags its audience, kicking and screaming to have a good time.

This movie doesn’t cop out. It doesn’t go for fake, feel-good warm fuzzies, and it’s not for the faint of heart. Terminator 3 has guts. It has a LOT of guts. And it’s a rare thing for any movie – whether it’s a summer blockbuster or an indie arthouse flick – to have guts.

Not terribly engaging, but surprisingly moving.

Director Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting") has a terrific eye, so the film as a whole is very well directed, with clever camera work that builds the tension and actually jolts us out of our seats a few times.
