  1. Amateur Night
    The film is peppered with interesting true-life details, but these are overwhelmed by frantic comedic sequences.
  2. Dog Eat Dog
    Paul Schrader's film scrambles for contemporary relevance and finds only nihilistic hollowness.
  3. The Unknown Girl
    This is a left-footed and clumsily insistent work, exposing the worst aspects inherent to the Dardennes' style.
  4. Rules Don't Apply
    Warren Beatty's portrayal of Howard Hughes has the overly polished feel of an anecdote that's been told too often.
  5. The Assignment
    Walter Hill and Michelle Rodriguez seem to share Frank’s confusion over the precise difference between cosmetic and biological reality.
  6. The Final Master
    The film is a seemingly endless series of convoluted double-dealing, backstabbing, and factional realignment.
  7. Carnage Park
    The film covers "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" by way of Rob Zombie, Quentin Tarantino, and Ti West.
  8. Atomic Blonde
    The tediously forestalled twists suck away time from what should be the film's focus—its action—and leaves only two scenes worthy of celebration.
  9. Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru
    Director Joe Berlinger essentially allows his subject to hijack the film for his own end.
  10. All Eyez on Me
    The tension between verisimilitude and economy of storytelling dictates everything in All Eyez on Me.
  11. Adult Life Skills
    The film uses the grieving process to lend the proceedings a sense of unearned emotional gravitas.
  12. The Foreigner
    Even overlooking its fictionalized account of an inexplicable political resurgence, the film falters in its needlessly convoluted plotting.
  13. Bleed for This
    Any initial gestures toward acknowledging Vinny Paz's macho egotism are eventually downplayed as the film becomes just another formulaic triumph-over-adversity saga.
  14. The Seventh Fire
    The documentary renders poverty a mysterious entity instead of a curable malady of systemic exclusion.
  15. The People vs. Fritz Bauer
    Lars Kraume's tinkering with the historical record would be more welcome were he also shifting away from the standard biopic template.
  16. Notes on Blindness
    Its fatal mistake is to make up for blindness, instead of embracing it as something other than a liability.
  17. Kickboxer: Vengeance
    It relies less on in-camera stunts than editing that renders vague gibberish of the altercations.
  18. Autumn Lights
    The film is like a landlocked Bergman chamber drama divested of any ambivalence regarding human relationships.
  19. Gold
    The film finds no treasure of gleaming originality in its energetically told but crushingly clichéd anti-capitalist parable.
  20. Office Christmas Party
    Josh Gordon and Will Speck's Office Christmas Party generally smacks of trying too hard to earn its laughs.
  21. All I See Is You
    The longer things drag out, All I See Is You becomes every bit as amorphous as its protagonist's vision.
  22. Planetarium
    Given all its clumsily executed genre detours and tonal fluctuations, Rebecca Zlutowski’s film suggests an amateur juggling act.
  23. Little Sister
    The film's attempt at political insight and portrayal of social malaise are meant to give it the illusion of depth.
  24. The Girl with All the Gifts
    The film wants to have its flesh and eat it too, but even more damning is how little meat is on its bones to begin with.
  25. Born in China
    The film is neatly organized around not only the changing of the seasons, but a Disney-branded "circle of life" ethos.
  26. In Dubious Battle
    Bits of editorializing dialogue throughout James Franco's In Dubious Battle suggest the resonant film that might’ve been.
  27. Maudie
    Maud Lewis herself couldn’t paint a hurricane that would blow the film’s overburdened narrative off course.
  28. Darkest Hour
    The film reinforces only the most simplistic and patriotic vision of Churchill, its closed-off view of the man reminiscent of the many tracking shots that wind through the underground tunnels of the U.K.‘s war command, constantly peeking into rooms with classified meetings as doors are abruptly closed to keep them secret
  29. The Promise
    The Promise simply turns this historical tragedy into mere background noise for a flimsy romantic triangle.
  30. Wakefield
    Writer-director Robin Swicord's film seems content to merely carry out its absurdist premise until the bitter end.
