  1. Sleight
    The magic here is in underground experiences and questionable decision making, all twisted like junky copper wiring that’s unraveled into something more useful.
  2. Guardians of the Galaxy
    Guardians Of The Galaxy is everything we go to the movies for, as Gunn is able to build an intricate intergalactic world full of multiple races, lush scenery, and maximum escapism through action, romance, comedy, and interstellar drama.
  3. The Survivalist
    Lean and mean, The Survivalist a realistically miserable apocalypse - and all the more terrifying for it.
  4. Unforgettable
    Unforgettable is a "How Not To" guide for romantic thrillers, passionless and without tension when it comes to the conflict at hand.
  5. Sand Castle
    Sand Castle is an Iraq war story about certain futility, but there's a certain redundancy to political overtones that preach what we've been hearing all along.
  6. Furious 7
    Furious 7 is an in-your-face assault of awesomeness under the guidance of James Wan, who saves a more lax story by orchestrating a metallic ballet of kick-ass proportions.
    • 66 Metascore

    Fast Five
    Fast Five boasts incredible action scenes that are all varied and equally exciting. The film is full of clean, well choreographed shots that are easy to watch and the cast works great as a whole unit, making the film's running time breeze by.
  8. Sandy Wexler
    Perhaps the most egregious aspect of Sandy Wexler isn’t its bland or annoying characters, its cookie-cutter story or even the same cheap physical comedy Sandler had become known for. No, the biggest problem very well may be its 1990s setting.
  9. The Fate of the Furious
    This is just the sweeps-week Fast And Furious that jumps the shark, ready to right itself come next season – and it better. Dominic Toretto’s team deserves to go out in a blaze of glory, not a slippery skid that can’t be controlled.

    Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer
    Delving into the intricacies of friendships, the way a lie can spiral out of control and the dangers of mixing politics and business, Norman: The Moderate Rise And Tragic Fall Of A New York Fixer is a compellingly complex and playful take on the political thriller.
  11. Smurfs: The Lost Village
    Despite its stunning backdrops and inspired new designs, Smurfs: The Lost Village is a smurfing waste of time.
  12. Aftermath
    Aftermath may not say much, but Arnold Schwarzenegger's reserved performance is a somber turn that keeps drama surprisingly in-tune.
  13. Win It All
    Win It All is another Swanberg special that hits upon the most human aspects of a gambler's curse, so perfect for Jake Johnson's leading take.
  14. Going in Style
    Going in Style doesn't bring much imagination or innovation to the world of crime comedies, but its legendary stars enhance the experience enough to make it passable entertainment.
  15. Most Beautiful Island
    Most Beautiful Island summons viewers into its seductive web, lashing out with teeth-grinding tension when you least expect it.
  16. Mine
    The situation at the heart of Mine - what to do if you're stuck standing on a live landmine - is fascinating to imagine. But sadly, the film eventually devolves into cliched flashbacks and quickly loses momentum.
  17. The Discovery
    The Discovery has a fantastic premise but lacks the ambition. imagination or intellect to explore it satisfyingly. Instead, we're left with a gloomy, thinly written emotional drama.
  18. The Blackcoat's Daughter
    The Blackcoat's Daughter aims for lofty satanic thrills, but gets lost in visuals that oversell a barbed but tangled nightmare.
  19. Salt and Fire
    Audiences unfamiliar with Herzog will be largely baffled by this eccentric and meandering eco-drama, but aficionados will find much to enjoy here.
  20. Gifted
    Gifted may be bogged down by some generic dramatic beats, but young Mckenna Grace is the beam of sunshine that keeps us from losing faith.
  21. Ghost in the Shell
    Ghost In The Shell is exactly the high-fi cyber shooter you feared it’d be, drenched in digital paranoia and concerns of network privacy. Visual fancies overload the senses early and often, only to hope the kaleidoscope artistry lingers long enough to overcompensate for back-end dullness.
  22. The Boss Baby
    The Boss Baby is a movie made for few audiences, inconceivably inept in its ability to blend adult references with children's immaturity.
  23. The Void
    The Void is a portal back to the 80s, hinged on immersive practical effects work that picks up the slack of a slighter story.
  24. A Dark Song
    A Dark Song digs its claws in and never lets go, finding horror in rituals, personal reflection and burning black-magic sensations. It’s dreadfully inviting from start to finish, with an almighty climax at just the right time.
  25. CHIPS
    A blatant attempt to apply the winning 21 Jump Street formula to another television property, CHIPS instead winds up a standard hard-R action comedy that audiences will probably forget by the time they leave the theater.
  26. Life
    Life toes a line between underwhelming and just-good-enough, but performances help elevate an otherwise generic sci-fi clone with nothing new to add.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wilson
    Funny, touching and insightful. Woody Harrelson is in top comedic form in this tonally unique comedy with a lot on its mind.
  28. Saban's Power Rangers
    Power Rangers doesn't completely fail as an origin story, but it's too familiar with its new-age reboot mentality that repurposes instead of recreates.
  29. Prevenge
    Prevenge is a breathtaking, savage debut from Alice Lowe, one that boasts horrific moral deprivation and a sense of humor drenched in maternal madness.
  30. The Levelling
    The Levelling is a wonderful first feature from Hope Dickson Leach. Morose beyond measure, but leavened with subtle hope via Ellie Kendrick's superb central performance.
  31. Like Me
    Like Me is a bombastic feature debut for Robert Mockler, benefitting heavily from visual artistry and Addison Timlin's strong performance.
  32. The Devil's Candy
    See this movie, live the fear, embrace the metal, and get sucked into a flaming, invigorating landscape of Hell that will cripple any horror-loving parent.
  33. The Disaster Artist
    The Disaster artist is obscurest hilarity set to a filmmaker's struggle, all linked to James Franco's transformative performance as the mythical Tommy Wiseau.
  34. Atomic Blonde
    Atomic Blonde strikes a deafening blow thanks to enjoyable characters, furious fight-play and Charlize Theron’s brand of screen command. She’s always in control, whether toying with feminine wilds or slugging another glass of Stoli on the rocks.
  35. The Transfiguration
    A concrete horror flick that burns with consequence, ignited by strong characters who are far more tested in their experiences than anyone of similar age. Bloody, emotional and visualized with a damning spirit – what an outspoken genre manipulation for first-timer Michael O’Shea.
  36. Baby Driver
    Baby Driver proves why we should never doubt Edgar Wright's vision, because few filmmakers can back their ambition with such quality thrills.
  37. Song to Song
    Song To Song is one of the more accessible Malick films as of late, succeeding largely in part thanks to a cast who plays their dramatic beats like poetry in motion.
    • 52 Metascore

    Little Boxes
    Despite its occasional smart commentary, the film offers a limited, one-note response to modern day racism.
  39. Personal Shopper
    Personal Shopper is enigmatic and inventive. This is daring and rule-bending filmmaking at a minimalist scale, a personal, contemplative horror movie, stripped of observable fright but full of unease.
  40. Brimstone
    Brimstone is undeniably idiosyncratic, but it’s also an unpleasant, dull and indigestible film.
  41. The Shack
    The Shack isn’t quite as bad as expectations might lead you to believe, but it’s not divine, either.
  42. Table 19
    Positioned as a quirky antidote to Hollywood wedding comedies, the awkward, tonally inconsistent Table 19 ultimately turns out to be more of the same.
  43. Don't Kill It
    Don't Kill It is some DIY insanity that leaves more scattered limbs than an overturned Halloween decoration truck.
  44. The Last Laugh
    An entertaining and thought-provoking film, The Last Laugh presents multiple perspectives on taboo humor without passing judgment.
  45. Beauty and the Beast
    Beauty And The Beast lacks some of the astonishing visual prowess of previous Disney live-action remakes, but still sings and dances with enjoyable style.
  46. Before I Fall
    Before I Fall makes a simple plot into this convoluted, aggravating mess of emotional turmoil that lacks a shocking amount of direction.
  47. Wolves
    Buoyed by a strong cast, Wolves is a predictable yet powerful film that uses its multitude of sports movie and coming-of-age cliches to the best possible effect.
  48. Kong: Skull Island
    Kong: Skull Island is a grand cinematic adventure powered by furry fury, as the horrors of war blend with chest-beating creature confidence.
  49. Collide
    A cast of reliable performers slum it in this by-the-numbers action thriller.
  50. Catfight
    Heche and Oh are both outright brilliant.
  51. Here Alone
    Here Alone is a sometimes-striking, sometimes-repetitive glimpse into apocalyptic drama that struggles to offer anything new.
  52. I don't feel at home in this world anymore.
    I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore is a winning combination of anger, frustration and stinging social satire.
  53. Get Out
    Get Out marries racial satire with a terrifying finale, one that tears down blinders that some may have kept conveniently in place. Don’t listen to those who say horror movies are defined by physical scares. Plots based on real-life fears typically make for the most horrifying scenarios.

    Actor Martinez
    Blurring the line between a narrative movie and a documentary, Actor Martinez is a film experiment that’s difficult to unpack but hilarious to watch unfold.
  55. Junction 48
    Junction 48 is about a fusing of cultures, not a conflict between them. There are no easy solutions or simplistic answers, and the film doesn’t try to propose any.
  56. Logan
    It’s not just one of the best superhero movies ever – it’s a damn-fine cinematic representation of the human condition in all its agonizing forms.
  57. The Great Wall
    The Great Wall is like the disaster of 47 Ronin all over again, except the action is a bit more fantastically barbaric and Damon isn't all that bad himself.
  58. In Dubious Battle
    Sadly, In Dubious Battle is unlikely to inspire anything other than blank-faced boredom.
  59. Fist Fight
    Fist Fight suffocates a genuine script with easy, intro-level juvenility.
  60. XX
    XX is a mundane horror anthology at best, and a slow-burn experience that never reaches a boil at its worst.
  61. Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
    It's a shame Silent Hill: Revelation suffers the same doomed fate as most modern horror movies, bumbling through a shockingly disconnected screenplay which strings together moments that could have been salvaged otherwise.
  62. The Curse of Sleeping Beauty
    This is one sluggish curse that wouldn't wake even Sleeping Beauty.
  63. Nightlight
    Like a flashlight that's running low on juice, you can feel the life oozing out of Nightlight with every faint flicker.
  64. Pandemic
    Pandemic certainly won't spark a nationwide outbreak, but it's a sleek enough take on infection thrillers that's worth one good late-night watch.
  65. Cam2Cam
    It’s not that Soisson created a terrible movie, but Cam2Cam is late to the party, brings absolutely nothing notable, and sits in the corner without making a peep.
  66. Fifty Shades Darker
    Fifty Shades Darker is a befuddling, messy erotic "thriller" that shifts tones faster than audiences can keep up with.
  67. John Wick: Chapter 2
    John Wick: Chapter 2 tempts fate with a 122-minute running time, but the "Gun Fu" is back and it's just as deathly awesome as it was in the first film.
  68. A Cure for Wellness
    In its braggadocios final form, genre fans have a unicorn watch that surely won’t be replicated anytime soon. Points for creativity, points for ambition, and points for a studio showing the balls to back provocative genre cinema.
  69. The LEGO Batman Movie
    When it counts, The LEGO Batman Movie delivers everything you’d want from such a farcical superhero creation.
  70. Rings
    Categorizing Rings as "horror" would be a disservice to genre films, because at least the lowest of the low attempt a scare here or there.
  71. Dark Night
    Dark Night is rigorously framed and edited, but it offers the illusion of complexity rather than the real McCoy.
  72. Headshot
    As punishing as it is grotesquely poetic, Headshot is a healthy dose of breathtaking brutality that makes you hold on for dear life.
  73. The Lure
    The Lure is powerful enough to cast an obsessive spell on anyone watching.

    The Comedian
    It’s way too long and ends up feeling like a chore to get through. Furthermore, the raunchy shock-value humor leaves your memory as soon as it enters, actors go grossly under-utilized and the title character fails to live up to his name. Quite frankly, he’s just a bummer to be around.
  75. Sing
    Sing runs on some serious super-piggy performance power, even if the emotional notes are expected.
  76. The Space Between Us
    The Space Between Us is not without bright spots (celestial production design dazzles, Butterfield’s niceties are refreshing in today’s day and age), but it’s ultimately more a slog than serendipitous romance.
  77. War on Everyone
    War On Everyone is a pitch-black, nihilistic riot, like a pissed-off teenager spinning atop a mountain with two outstretched middle fingers pointing in every direction.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gold
    Gold might be a flawed find, but it's worth seeing for Matthew McConaughey's performance alone.
  79. Brigsby Bear
    Although the film flies off the rails in its climax, the rest of Brigsby Bear is an outrageous concept that’s pulled off quite well.
  80. iBoy
    iBoy is a fully charged superhero tale that soon overcomes its admittedly ludicrous premise.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Hero
    Anchored by a top-notch performance from its lead, The Hero surpasses its cliches and becomes an ideal vehicle for its star. In Sam Elliot we trust.
  82. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
    Resident Evil: The Final Chapter proves that there's nothing left in the tank of this grossly nondescript zombie-shootin' franchise.
  83. T2 Trainspotting
    Danny Boyle's T2 Trainspotting is a diverting nostalgia exercise, to be sure, but it never really justifies its own existence.
  84. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power
    An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power is an important and relevant worldwide look at the environmental crisis.
  85. I Am Michael
    James Franco is a stand-out in I Am Michael, but the film's specific story struggles to relate on a broader scale.
  86. The Yellow Birds
    For a film that has such an intriguing premise at its core, The Yellow Birds seems to drag due to Moor’s abrupt tempo changes and flat visual style.
  87. A Dog's Purpose
    A Dog's Purpose goes the Collateral Beauty route by preying on sadness and not earning its emotional reactions.
  88. Landline
    [Robespierre] and Slate make a formidable, interesting pair together and I do look forward to their next venture, but Landline is a disappointing venture.
  89. The Eagle Huntress
    Feminist by nature rather than design and consistently visually dazzling, The Eagle Huntress is top flight documentary cinema.
  90. The Axe Murders of Villisca
    The Axe Murders Of Villisca is too familiar a haunted house story to be anything more than generic.
  91. My Father Die
    Look into the eyes of My Father Die, and you’ll see honesty. Never once does writer/director Sean Brosnan go out of his way to present “revenge” as a worthwhile venture, as he evokes the beastly nature of such drastic measures.
  92. Hell or High Water
    Pulpy, old-fashioned Western action and terrific performances make Hell or High Water one of the most satisfying releases of the summer.
  93. xXx: Return of Xander Cage
    It may be messy, but the parts that matter go for broke with breakneck ambition.
  94. Split
    Split is never as clever or poignant as it thinks it is, but James McAvoy won't let it be forgotten, either.
  95. The Snare
    The Snare is so without substance that you might not even remember watching it.
  96. Pitchfork
    Pitchfork is defined by a country dance sequence with full boot-stomping choreography - not a great sign for a horror movie.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    100 Streets
    Unfortunately, 100 Streets' parts are greater than the whole, forcing it to crash and burn after an absolutely ludicrous third act.
  98. Coin Heist
    Coin Heist is like Ocean's 11 meets The Breakfast Club, but minus the charm, character and ambition.
  99. Staying Vertical
    Staying Vertical feels weighed down when it should be light, and ironic when it should be earnest. For better and worse, the film terrorizes conventional cinema without providing any good alternative.
  100. The Founder
    Keaton’s hazy wading through Kroc’s McDonald’s takeover is a dynamic performance that drives moral emptiness, but remains so poisonously watchable.
