  1. Hyena Road
    Paul Gross situates the film's events somewhere between violent, militaristic fantasy and gentler, anti-war lament.
  2. Lazer Team
    The premise thoughtlessly combines elements from Marvel comics, Men and Black, and a swath of '80s pop culture to curiously neutered effect.
  3. How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town
    The ingenuity of writer-director Jeremy LaLonde's film ends with its title.
  4. Collateral Beauty
    David Frankel's film argues that the power of miracles can be manufactured by those who can fund them.
  5. Transformers: The Last Knight
    The sensory overload of Michael Bay's hyperkinetic cinema is such that it eradicates any actual sense of place.
  6. The Great Gilly Hopkins
    Glenn Close's face teems with a flawlessly controlled gravitas that’s completely at odds with the film’s ordinariness.
  7. Backtrack
    The film is the cinematic equivalent of watching a Rubik's Cube noisily solve itself for 90 minutes.
  8. Rio, I Love You
    The hygienization of Rio into what at times looks like a soulless Southern California town is so scandalous it feels like a spoof of the Cities of Love series.
  9. The Offering
    It inspires retrospective gratitude for the empty yet slick craftsmanship of someone like James Wan.
  10. Les Cowboys
    Never content to suffice as a mediocre thriller, Les Cowboys is a wellspring of embarrassment for all parties involved.
  11. Honeyglue
    It's more interested in borrowing terminal cancer as a narrative shorthand for intensity than investigating it as a lived experience.
  12. Life, Animated
    It never addresses Disney's wholly manufactured stranglehold on turning adolescent desire into a consumerist impulse.
  13. I Am Not a Serial Killer
    The film comes unsettlingly close to being an apologia for the kind of violence that stems from adolescent disaffection.
  14. Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
    The film is an incoherent and aesthetically barren harangue masquerading as a revisionist history lesson.
  15. Ithaca
    The film is confused in conception, dreary in execution, and completely lacking in forward momentum.
  16. A Dog's Purpose
    Lasse Hallström's gooey film exists only to offer comforting reassurances about dogs' natural servility.
  17. Happy Birthday
    It plays like it was written by a bro who just discovered the early films of Quentin Tarantino.
  18. The Unspoken
    It feels like Sheldon Wilson tossed a bunch of third-hand scares in a blender and set it to puree, resulting in a gray, flavorless sludge.
  19. The Sense of an Ending
    Ritesh Batra's film is a tale of white nostalgia that should have found its footing on dramatic grounds.
  20. Arsenal
    It's a misnomer to label the climax of Steven C. Miller's patently sick Arsenal an actual climax.
  21. Eloise
    Robert Legato's film is lifelessly composed of the usual tropes of horror films set in mental asylums.
  22. The Girl in the Spider's Web
    Fede Álvarez’s film suffers from a compulsion to be capital-C cool, and all of its ostensibly stylish shots are untethered to any semblance of a sustained reality.
  23. Black Butterfly
    Its incoherent turn of events attempts to stupefy us into mistaking its deeply flawed internal logic for ingenuity.
  24. Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait
    The film is intended to be placed at the altar of Julian Schnabel, an artist so singular that words simply fail.
  25. The Recall
    Mauro Borrelli's The Recall has the look of a SyFy original movie and the self-seriousness of Ridley Scott's recent Alien films.
  26. The Drowning
    If there’s anything worth mulling over about The Drowning, it's the way it proffers the East Coast couple as an inevitably miserable institution without really meaning to.
  27. The Happytime Murders
    The film aims only to shock, refusing to deliver anything in an intriguingly post-ironic way in the process.
  28. The Layover
    William H. Macy's The Layover was clearly conceived and written by men who have no interest in approaching female friendships with any degree of complexity, curiosity, or respect.
  29. Basmati Blues
    Danny Baron's film awkwardly melds Bollywood romcom tropes with a half-hearted critique of the GMO industry.
  30. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
    The really frustrating thing about Tomatoes is the toothlessness of its satire.
