  1. Railroad Tigers
    Despite its energetic, intricately climax, Railroad Tigers is at its most entertaining when merely observing Chan’s smaller movements.
  2. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
    This third and supposedly final edition in the franchise is nothing more than an uncomfortably transparent contractual obligation.
  3. Noma: My Perfect Storm
    Too much of Noma is composed of gorgeous pillow shots, which grow static and fussy, appearing to exist almost apart from the subject matter.
  4. In the Heart of the Sea
    The narrative is helplessly adrift, a yarn that extols vague grit and determination with no discernible through line.
  5. The M Word
    Like a number of cult directors to emerge in the 1970s, Henry Jaglom values a party atmosphere at the expense of narrative cohesion.
  6. Closer to the Moon
    Writer-director Nae Caranfil oddly forgoes the abundant elegiac aspects of his film's factual material for a tone approaching the ebullient.
  7. Funny Bunny
    Alison Bagnall and her talented leads appear to effortlessly achieve a tone that's tricky to sustain, one that abounds equally in absurdism and empathy.
  8. Convoy
    At its best, the film finds Peckinpah moving into a new poetry of non-violence, of movement associated with explicit, actualized harmony, but the director doesn’t trust himself, mistaking change of form for impersonal commercial stewardship.
  9. The Tunnel
    The film lacks for the methodically escalating stakes that makes the best examples of the genre so entertaining.
  10. Bad Teacher
    Despite aping its title in order to suggest quality by association, Bad Teacher has nothing in common with "Bad Santa" -- including, alas, a genuinely nasty sense of humor.
  11. Jimpa
    Jimpa’s exploration of non-binary identity ultimately proves superficial.
  12. Dog Days
    Aside from the occasional idiosyncratic comic beat, Dog Days remains committed to coloring within the lines of established tropes in the animal-centric family film.
  13. A Cure for Wellness
    Most gratifying throughout A Cure for Wellness is the moment-to-moment anticipation of where Gore Verbinski will put his camera next.
  14. Restless
    Gus Van Sant's cinema, which of late has been fixated on immersing viewers in particular times and spaces, takes a detour into excruciating quirkland with Restless.
  15. AGGRO DR1FT
    It may indeed be the perfect cinematic representation of our current media landscape, adapting to our collective brain rot from being terminally online instead of fighting against it.
  16. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
    The visual blandness of Edward Zwick’s style and the simplistic, easily solved case is better suited for television.
  17. The Dressmaker
    The frequent contemptuousness the film displays toward its characters keeps the audience at arm's length.
  18. Monster Hunter
    Paul W.S. Anderson has simply combined the established iconography of the popular Capcom game franchise with prefab movie moments.
  19. Young Ones
    It avoids the typical trappings of the genre pastiche by utilizing its clear indebtedness to numerous other films as merely a starting point, rather than an end.
  20. Lisa Frankenstein
    Even as the film revels in violent, necrophiliac delights, the dialogue keeps everything grounded with its humor.
  21. Halloween Ends
    Just as David Gordon Green seems to have finally unshackled his legacyquel trilogy from the dead weight of the past, the film loses the courage of its convictions.
  22. Wish
    Wish plays out like the No Frills version of a Disney princess story.
  23. Asphalt City
    Shove everything into the meat grinder of cynicism and, in the end, your insights come to feel purely incidental.
  24. Cargo
    Cargo can feel like a "film about human trafficking" from beginning to end.
  25. All In: The Poker Movie
    The film has a shambling charm that actively disputes an unspoken notion that a documentary must be well-structured in order to effectively land its points.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Young Racers
    The Young Racers mostly succumbs to the streak of pretension strongly felt beneath the hubristic surfaces of more than a few Corman features.
  27. Midway
    In the film, the Battle of Midway suggests something out of a photorealistic animated film.
  28. I Saw the Light
    A flaccidly directed film that basks for two hours in a carefully art-designed simulation of the past.
  29. Parked
    The film takes dramatic material that sounds fairly standard-issue to begin with and proceeds to uncover precious little of genuinely fresh intrigue within it.
  30. The Hitman's Bodyguard
    Because it so consistently fails to meld its comic sensibilities and love stories with its generic action premise into a seamless whole, The Hitman's Bodyguard sometimes just appears to be parodying the sort of mess it ends up being.
