  1. Kitano's most enjoyable, flat-out fun movie, provided you can stomach the violence.
  2. For the farce it so desperately wants to be, the film often feels slack and too reliant on so-so punch lines for laughs.
  3. There's a lot more at work in this raucously entertaining movie than cross-dressing clichés.
  4. A unique bond still develops between the two outcasts, leading to an unexpected resolution that ends this subtle, deeply humane movie on an ambiguous, but unmistakably hopeful, note.
  5. The whole enterprise sags and wheezes like the tired, we're-in-this-strictly-for-the-money sequel it really is.
  6. If The Score isn't quite in the same league as the classic "Rififi" or even "Thief," its single-mindedness still makes for a refreshing change from the preposterous bloat of most contemporary action movies.
  7. Vaughn and Favreau are a dynamite pair, and there's enough give-and-take between them to satisfy any diehard "Swingers" fan.
  8. Unashamedly sticks with its light comedy roots.

  9. There's a terrible beauty to the work of Larry Clark, the controversial photographer turned filmmaker, that transcends chic nihilism.
  10. The Hollywood action genre, sliding into a lazy dependence on computer-generated fakery, needs this authentic kick to the head delivered by Jet Li.
  11. Lost and Delirious doesn't need metaphors for the power of strength and healing. All the passion and pain it needs glows ferociously in the eyes of its young women.
  12. A quirky romantic comedy with a distinct and pleasing retro feel.
  13. Undeniably charming, and kids will certainly enjoy it.

  14. It's a formula and hard to describe as good in any artistic sense, but the viewers who pay to see it -- and many, many people are going to -- will get exactly what they want.
  15. Fast, wacky and bubbling with passion or dark, troubled and doomed. In the unusually titled crazy/beautiful, it's all those things at once.
  16. This is speculative, heady stuff, far removed from traditional Hollywood summer entertainment, which alone will earn A.I. a devoted following.
  17. The story is worth telling, one that begs the question: Has anything changed?
  18. Raunchy, provocative and often very funny.
  19. Drowns in its own noxious fumes. Who knew being bad could be so dull?

  20. Cleaner, cuter animal antics.

  21. Often makes for a compelling comedy-drama about family ties. It's only when the cancer takes center stage that the movie feels like a wash.
  22. A breezy pleasure.
  23. Although the movie never so much as flirts with melodrama, there is still a bittersweet undercurrent.
  24. It may not get top billing, but glorious music is the star of Songcatcher, an intriguing and often lovely film.
  25. The relevant question is: does it rock? And the answer, unfortunately, is no.

  26. It is a riveting and memorable performance and Kingsley finds subtlety in Logan where there doesn't seem to be any.
  27. The liveliest and most engaging time killer to come out of Hollywood in a long while. It's junk, to be sure, but it is superbly made junk.
    • Miami Herald
  28. If nothing else, the movie proves even the rich and famous make boring home videos.

    • 52 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A crackling good adventure, a visually sumptuous effort.
    • Miami Herald
  29. The music is of course majestic, blending well with a loving cinematography.
