Total satisfaction. Peter Berg serves up an interesting story that looks at the issues of the Western and Arab worlds in a quite clever way. Visually, the film is top notch from the first to the last second, Jamie Foxx is superb, and the final action set-piece is something that makes you want to take cover from bullets. I can't wait to see it again.

Boring. Totally. I haven't seen the original, so I can't compare, but someone should tell the people behind this film that the main character of a romantic comedy can't be an unlikeable and annoying woman, and that the romantic storyline has to start before the first hour is up. The likeable Aaron Eckhart saves what he can, but unfortunately it's not enough.

Almost 4 stars. If it wasn't for the bland script and the not-so-interesting Ryan Kwanten, it would have been great. James Wan decided to try his hand at a classically futuristic atmosphere and succeeded brilliantly as a director. Suspenseful, atmospheric but unfortunately a bit too simple. Definitely interesting though.

An enjoyable but less classic Sandler flick. Adam Sandler and Kevin James are excellent, but the script perhaps takes itself too seriously towards the end.

Very weak. David Arquette didn't know what he wanted to shoot: satire, comedy, horror, or just a sick mix of all of them? If it wasn't for a few of the funnier scenes, it would have been pure agony. The actors salvage what they can, but are helpless against the dull, unimaginative direction.

A brilliantly acted and written drama. The deliberately slower pace builds up nicely towards the end, and as a psychological whodunit, The Lookout is one of the best things to come along in a long time.

Bloody, funny, stylish, entertaining. Robert Rodriguez beat Quentin Tarantino because he wanted to make a movie instead of an advertisement for his skills as a filmmaker.

Good acting can't save everything. What Mr. Brooks lacks is a brisker script and a bit more interesting direction. The inspiration in Dexter is evident, but even though Kevin Costner and co are playing in a lower league, it's a pretty good watch.

The Tim Burton inspiration is evident, but still Penelope is much more appealing. It’s more down to earth and the bizarreness is "within the norm." Plus, Christina Ricci is really awesome. A great film that literally engulfs you with its charming atmosphere for less than two hours. If you let it.

Not a very entertaining film. There is not much action, and it’s not dazzling, the acting is weak (only Chris Evans has some charm) and the senseless seriousness of the characters, doesn't work in the film at all, because the you can’t relate to them. It's not completely bad, but it falls well short of Bryan Singer's rival team-up.
