  1. The Brothers Grimsby
    It's the strafing satire that's MIA.
  2. Brightburn
    It’s “The Bad Seed meets The Omen,” and it’s predictable, plodding and dim-witted every step of the way. To be fair, if you like watching someone pull a shard of glass out of her eyeball, you won’t be disappointed. But there’s a difference between gory and scary that this movie doesn’t seem to grasp.
  3. Churchill
    You can certainly argue just how speculative this film version of Churchill is as history. But Cox's performance cannot be faulted. It's a master class in acting.
  4. Pain Hustlers
    The movie itself ends up just hustling a stock redemption story window-dressed with issues as opposed to exploring them.
  5. Hostage
    Take a tired formula...Stir with a director, Florent Siri, who has no shame about stealing every sadistic suspense trick from the Die Hard series. Serve to a gullible audience willing to pay top dollar for secondhand goods.
  6. Walking Tall
    There was a time when guys would grab a six-pack and watch this kind of flick at a drive-in. I mean that as a compliment.
  7. Man of the Century
    A lighter-than-air comedy than runs on pure fizz.

  8. Made in Italy
    The mutual grief and abiding love felt by the Irish actor, 68, and his son, 25, cuts close to home and brings the film a touching honesty it otherwise sorely lacks.
  9. Foe
    Foe knows the tale it wants to tell. But because of the often mannered, occasionally stagy way that it ends up telling it, this is a movie that has a tendency to be its own worst enemy
  10. Every Time We Say Goodbye
    Watching [Hanks] in this career footnote now is a little like seeing an unformed lump of sculptor’s clay and knowing that there’s a famous statue just a few well-placed moves away.
  11. Delivery Man
    Delivery Man is one joke stretched to the breaking point. Mine was reached.
  12. Next Goal Wins
    No one’s denying that American Samoa’s brief moment of victory — it didn’t make it to Cup playoffs, yet it’s never been in last place again — is a major coup. So why does this feel like such a lost opportunity for all involved?
  13. Voyagers
    This is a pulpy B movie that is dying to be a prestige project, and there’s a big part of you that wishes everyone had just leaned into the teensploitation aspects more.
  14. Mortal Engines
    As a distraction, it’s inoffensive. But you can tell it wants to be the juggernaut on wheels, the unstoppable giant mowing down or devouring everything in its path. It’s really the smaller thing trying desperately to outrun oblivion. It’s all scraps and nothing but.
  15. Head of State
    Doesn't seem directed at all; you half expect the actors to crash into each other. Still, give me the attempted satire of Head of State over the racial stereotyping of "Bringing Down the House" anyday. You can feel a mind at work when you watch Rock.
  16. The Raven
    Cusack captures that desperation vividly enough to make you wish this was the real Poe story, which The Raven onscreen leaves buried alive.
  17. Girl 6
    Girl 6 is shameless stuff -- pompous, sentimental and attitudinizing. To swat the Spikeman with his own symbol, the film feels like he phoned it in.
  18. The Hangover Part II
    How could a 2009 raunchfest that slapped a grin on my face I couldn't unglue degenerate into a cold dish of sloppy seconds?
  19. Hot Summer Nights
    The result is chaotic, but never lacking in energy – and the cast is up for anything.
  20. The Old Guard 2
    It’s a new chapter in a saga, yet like its characters who’ve been practicing the art of war since Sun Tzu coined the term, the sequel somehow feels ancient and a little creaky.
  21. The Ring Two
    You have to admire Nakata's skill at letting the dead run free while hinting that we may have more to fear from the living. With a braver step in that direction, this middling movie would ring more than box-office bells.
  22. What Dreams May Come
    How can a film look so radiant and be so hollow?
  23. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    Better than Man of Steel but below the high bar set by Nolan's Dark Knight, Dawn of Justice is still a colossus, the stuff that DC Comics dreams are made of for that kid in all of us who yearns to see Batman and Superman suit up and go in for the kill.
  24. This Is Where I Leave You
    This comedy about a death is a funeral for the audience.
  25. The Village
    The Village, even when its step falters, is on to something more provocative than seeing dead people. Its power, unrelated to digital monsters, comes from the tension building inside the characters.
  26. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    Is it the clumsy script or the switch in directors -- Beeban Kidron in for Sharon Maguire -- that has sucked out the charm of the original and replaced it with crude pratfalls and enough shag gags to stuff the next three Austin Powers movies?
  27. Mortal Kombat
    The movie’s not quite a fight-scene masterclass, though compared to much else on offer from studio action of the moment, it sometimes feels like one. It’s solid entertainment — refreshing, even, for finding ways to navigate the familiar pivots on its own terms.
  28. Cadence
    Martin Sheen makes his directing debut with this military drama mixed with laughs. It isn’t awful — just bland, which is worse.
  29. Jobs
    Jobs is a one-man show that needed to go for broke and doesn't. My guess is that Jobs would give it a swat.
