Depending on your receptiveness to reinterpreted Fab Four tunes, this film will either be a startling, immersive entertainment or a pretentious misfire.

Shekhar Kapur has built the movie around lush imagery that firmly puts the audience in Elizabeth's world, but sometimes he goes overboard with the creativity.

Wilkinson is mesmerizing as the unhinged attorney trying to come to grips with the filth he has trafficked during his professional life.

Throw in a few side plots and you have a nicely authentic story about small-town life, the importance of baseball and the inevitability of change.

Clocking in at two hours and 37 minutes, Lust, Caution is just too long and is really, really boring. Really boring.

So many things about the film are good and worth watching; the problem is they are scattered throughout a film with a weak plot that develops way too easily.

The script encompasses almost more than one script should, but Carnahan pulls it off flawlessly. The conflict between cultures, beliefs and even members of the same country creates tension between nearly every character. Carnahan is gifted, however, at interspersing just enough levity and humor to keep the film from having a one-note feel.

Like the 2002 documentary about obsessive filmgoers called Cinemania, I find it difficult to laugh at the weirdos onscreen as much as the filmmakers want me to, because I'm spending too much time identifying with them.

The simple mention of Spice World attracts scowls from hell, as if I had just made a joke about someone's dead grandmother and the Holocaust.

At times, one begins to wonder whether there's something more to The Brave One than just a schlocky revenge thriller, as the film infrequently suggests it might be a lament toward the dying American city.

The massive number of shootouts and graphic deaths are predicated on the simple plot of the movie (if it can be said to have one).

I'm glad Hollywood is long past its obsession with westerns, because it makes a film like 3:10 to Yuma all the more special.

Here, Delpy's the half of the romantic duo that holds all the self-confidence; her Marion is considerably more self-assured than her Céline.
