  1. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
    You can’t say it’s unambitious, any more than you could call it coherent, and the result is less Dances With Wolves Redux and more Palms on Faces.
  2. The Good Liar
    Yes, you would watch these two in virtually anything. You just wish it wasn’t this. They deserve something sturdier and far less head-slappingly preposterous, and that’s the truth.
  3. Black Adam
    Viewed as a light star vehicle with a lot of VFX — a soft Rock movie — it’s simply ho-hum. The issue is with everything else happening onscreen around him. Even by the DCEU’s dodgy standards, it’s a mess in a cape.
  4. Evolution
    It's refried comic beans that smell stale and smack of desperation.
  5. Death to Smoochy
    This black-comic assault on family entertainment is going to set a lot of teeth on edge -- If only his (De Vito's) material were better this time.
  6. Scotland, Pa.
    Walken is so funny, he almost makes you forget this flick is one joke stretched thinner than Calista Flockhart.
  7. The Drama
    There’s a sense of sniggering that lurks behind all of the provocation, which thankfully never crosses the line into full 4chan territory. But the fact that so much hinges on the poking of a wound doesn’t automatically make it audacious in a way that’s taboo-breaking. It’s the sort of too-edgy-for-the-mainstream movie that’s not nearly as edgy as it thinks it is.
  8. Escape Room
    The best thing you can say about Escape Room is that for most of it, you’re not desperately searching for the exit sign.
  9. Dream Lover
    Kazan’s technique drafts seductive promises that the empty-headed Dream Lover can’t keep.
  10. The Current War: Director's Cut
    It’s not a bad film, just a generically bland one.
  11. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera
    This sequel tries to expand into tonier genre horizons and gin up a sort of Den-iverse mythology, yet simply ends up playing tourist in smaller, more previously colonized territory.

    80 for Brady
    Making a warm movie about friendship as a tribute to this weirdo is an impossible task.
  13. Lisa Frankenstein
    The only time sparks fly are when that restorative tanning bed crackles and sputters.
  14. The Bone Collector
    Abandon all hope of logic, you who enter here.

  15. Cherry
    The movie is so overbearingly high on its own fizzy, clever stylishness that it strands the heart of its own story.
  16. Drive-Away Dolls
    You’re left enduring a bumpy ride on a road to nowhere, in other words, and neither the film’s wane familiarity nor its welcome, pro-smut good intentions can make the journey worthwhile.
  17. Things Heard & Seen
    You applaud Seyfried for doing so much of the heavy lifting, and for once again proving that a close-up of someone looking unnerved is worth a thousand wonky exchanges. Still, not even she can keep the wheels from falling off when the second half tries to trade in gaslighting for ghosts and never finds the tone it needs to make the transition.
  18. Welcome To Marwen
    You never doubt the good intentions of Zemeckis and Steve Carell, who plays Hogancamp with genuine grace. Sadly, something essential went missing in the trip from Marwencol to Marwen.
  19. Mister America
    We get something that’s too long for their usual stoner-digestible absurdism, too unfocused to really take on post-Trumpian political targets, and too insular to translate to folks not already invested in their long, drawn-out in-joke.
  20. Carmen
    Should you care to dig into a contemporary interpretation of a centuries-old canon work, you can skip this Carmen. If you feel the need to watch a sweaty sex symbol pound a punching bag while shirtless, we have a movie just for you.
  21. Bad Company
    The motor of the plot, involving nuclear terrorism, not only knocked Bad Company out of last year's release schedule due to 9/11 sensitivity, it stops Rock and Hopkins from sustaining a comic rapport. The waste is criminal.
  22. Isn't She Great
    Just isn't enough.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. Black and Blue
    Black and Blue, hyped by Geoff Zanelli’s pumping score, moves along without actually getting anywhere. Harris deserves better. So do audiences.
  24. Stolen Summer
    Cringingly earnest, totally unremarkable fable.
  25. Impostor
    Director Gary Fleder ("Don't Say a Word") pushes the same old cliches in "Blade Runner" packaging.
  26. For Love or Money
    It took four screenwriters to turn a potent premise into mush. There’s some compensation in a solid supporting cast, especially Fyvush Finkel of TV’s Picket Fences as the world’s oldest bellboy. But director Barry Sonnenfeld shows little of the wicked spirit he brought to The Addams Family.
  27. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
    It’s impossible for Ferrell and McAdams to top Stevens for campy pyrotechnics, so they’re left to hard-sell a Lars-Sigrit romance that’s too tepid to strike a jaja ding dong.
  28. Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver
    Turn away from your screens. Go for a walk. Start your own wheat-threshing collective. Anything but suffer through this.
  29. Shock and Awe
    But at its best, Shock and Awe still feels like it strains to be Spotlight-lite and comes up lacking. The title feels like a misnomer.
  30. The Family Man
    Starting to feel sick? Just you wait.
