  1. Rolling Papers
    It neither glorifies nor castigates pot usage, letting consumers speak for themselves without the intrusion of an omnipresent voice.
  2. Forsaken
    The film adheres to the dictionary definition of a classical genre without ever attempting to subvert it.
  3. Cabin Fever
    Travis Zariwny detachedly regards the material as shtick to be waded through with quotation marks.
  4. Zoolander 2
    The film is frequently guilty of the same obsolescence it accuses the characters of embodying.
  5. Standoff
    Standoff isn’t quite inspired, but it coasts on unexpected modesty of professionalism.
  6. Touched With Fire
    The film is a thinly dramatized series of arguments against, then ultimately in favor of the medication of bipolar disorder.
  7. A War
    Tobias Lindholm stages his claims through clunky dramaturgical scenarios, with the seams exposed at every turn.
  8. Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong
    The script labors to give the film a strong sense of place, but strange lapses confirm a sense that the city isn't a character here.
  9. Deadpool
    The whiplash contrasts between snideness and sincerity is deeply rooted in the main character's psychology.
  10. Regression
    It spends a lot of time considering the fear of knowing, which may explain why Alejandro Amenábar didn’t seem to know what kind of film he was making.
  11. The Choice
    Most Nicholas Sparks adaptations say, in cinematic terms, nothing so complicated as "roses are red." This one just points to a garden and shrugs.
  12. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
    The juxtaposition of courtship and violence is the film's one true coup, but Pride and Prejudice and Zombies still mistakes weaponry for agency.
  13. Southbound
    Southbound is yet another contemporary horror film that belongs to seemingly every era but its own.
  14. Hail, Caesar!
    Joel and Ethan Coen's idiosyncrasies elevate the film above the level of a mere creative exercise.
  15. Eisenstein in Guanajuato
    What comes through clearly by the end of the film is the act of one artist's eccentric generosity breathing new awareness into the life of another.
  16. Rams
    Every moment in writer-director Grímur Hákonarson's strange and wonderful film is imbued with mystery and revealing dignity.
  17. Fort Buchanan
    Benjamin Crotty's film is content to drift free-associatively through the intricacies of group mechanics via an expressive free-form structure.
  18. 4th Man Out
    It's a bizarre and retrograde spectacle, as clueless and incurious about friendship as it is about the rudiments of composition and screenwriting
  19. The Club
    Pablo Larraín's thematic interests shift toward constructing a didactic tongue-lashing against the Catholic Church disguised as speculative fiction.
  20. Jane Got a Gun
    It constantly blunders into stylistic choices and narrative clichés that sabotage the sturdy two-hander at its center.
  21. Fifty Shades of Black
    An aimless, if sporadically clever, parody that tirelessly conceives of human sexuality as punchlines for its shortsighted cultural ribbings.
  22. The Finest Hours
    A square journey through choppy waters, it boasts a Greatest Generation nostalgia so thoroughgoing it might as well be called Boys Becoming Men.
  23. Everybody's Fine
    It joins its American cousin in the scrapheap of family dramedies that no one watches, unless by default out of boredom on TBS or TNT.
  24. Kung Fu Panda 3
    It finds a benefit in its genre affiliation, evenly distributing its action in quick bursts of fluidly animated fight choreography.
  25. Lazer Team
    The premise thoughtlessly combines elements from Marvel comics, Men and Black, and a swath of '80s pop culture to curiously neutered effect.
  26. Rabin, the Last Day
    Its vantage point too loosely assembles an argument by focusing, almost obsessively, on reassembling a tangible timeline of events.
  27. The 5th Wave
    The sense that children’s attitudes toward rampant militarization are being gradually normalized is the film's objectionable given.
  28. Dirty Grandpa
    As in Judd Apatow's films, crassness is boasted as shamelessness, and calculated sentimentality is dressed up as empathy.
  29. Synchronicity
    Writer-director Jacob Gentry's film has the emotional fatuousness of uncertain softcore erotica.
  30. Rabid Dogs
    There's no reason for Rabid Dogs to exist, as even character identity and motivation receives little attention.
