  1. Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire
    The relative grace of A Child of Fire’s action direction only underscores how disjointed and generic the rest of the film is.
  2. Silent Hill
    Despite its often-overwhelming nonsensicality, there’s ultimately something irresistibly fiendish about Silent Hill, which not only condemns holier-than-thou religious zealots, but also—if I understand its gruesome finale—seems to be firmly on the side of the Devil.
  3. The Lazarus Effect
    David Gelb doesn't evince so much as a single compositional sleight of hand, merely delighting in turning lights on and off and watching Zoe appear in random places.
  4. Smurfs
    Its pastiche of Into the Spider-Verse is revealed to be nothing more than window dressing.
  5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    A film so overworked to ensure mass-market appeal that it loses the charming oddness and loose goofiness that has allowed these characters to endure.
  6. ma ma
    Julio Medem's film has enough hanky-courting plot mechanics for three remakes of Beaches.
  7. Countdown
    If there’s an ethos that Justin Dec’s film believes in, it’s only that “death sucks.”
  8. God Is a Bullet
    Aside from the red stuff, the film is scarcely interested in what’s inside its characters.
  9. This Means War
    This Means War seems so concerned with being the best product, it doesn't even know how to be good trash.
  10. Paradise City
    If only everyone else had followed John Travolta’s lead, then the film might have lived up to its title.
  11. That's My Boy
    That's My Boy lazily exists in a fantasyland of Adam Sandler's perpetual adolescence, even as it generates some moderate comic friction from Sandler and Andy Samberg's testy back-and-forth.
  12. 5 Days of War
    Renny Harlin seems now incapable of taking a movie even as far as a few frames.
  13. Reuniting the Rubins
    Yoav Factor can't decide whether he wants to play his broad scenario as an exaggerated farce or as a heartwarming testament to blood ties.
  14. A Perfect Man
    In its elliptical presentation of its characters' lives, brings to mind the latter-day films of Philippe Garrel, but Kees Van Oostrum's genre experimentation aligns him with Paul Verhoeven.
  15. The Road Within
    The film's tired sentimentality aside, its general lack of empathy is most damning.
  16. Silent Night, Deadly Night
    Silent Night, Deadly Night brought the idea to new levels of cold sleaziness.
  17. Death Wish
    At a time when Americans are constantly bombarded with reports of unpunished police brutality, the film suggests that the true problem with justice in our country is that law enforcement isn't violent enough.
  18. High School
    As sure as marijuana gets you high, you can count on weed-themed comedies cropping up every few years, each hoping to become a stoner-classic staple--a fate to which High School falls far short of achieving.
  19. Fathers and Daughters
    The film's weird reformulation of the Electra complex is nothing short of a sexist fantasy of salvation.
  20. Night Hunter
    The film is so clichéd and scattershot as to make Copycat look like Peeping Tom by comparison.
  21. Red Dawn
    It feeds the warrior fantasies of adolescent boys with a testosterone-heavy tale of a war free of moral complications.
  22. In Search of God
    This is didactic self-help drivel of the worst kind, as filmmaker Rupam Sarmah creates a return-to-the-origin narrative contaminated by what Kathryn Bond Stockton would surely call "kid Orientalism."
  23. Blended
    The filmmakers only bother to lay out comedic set pieces that are simply family-friendly big-budget variations on Jackass stunts.
  24. Serving Up Richard
    After a promising entrapment scene that offers some casually eerie narrative details, the film collapses, lurching awkwardly between a variety of tones and intentions.
  25. November Criminals
    The film advances that old Hollywood trope: Blacks can't get justice unless whites are willing to get it for them.
  26. Inheritance
    Simon Pegg occasionally fulfills the nightmarish potential of the film’s fairy-tale premise.
  27. Kill Switch
    Dan Stevens navigates the film’s literal and thematic alleyways with the same enthusiastic befuddlement that convinced many to soldier through Legion‘s more impenetrable stretches.
  28. Love the Coopers
    Sloppy and haphazard where it should be calculatedly chaotic, it can't ever seem to settle on an appropriate tone.
  29. Texas Chainsaw 3D
    There's no deliberate Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2-style comedy to the film, just dim-witted gruesomeness retrofitted with gimmicky contemporary trappings.
  30. Hot Pursuit
    The only thing that could've made Sofia Vergara's misguided contribution grislier would have been to fellate a Chiquita banana.
