Feels like a long drive in circles, with no destination worth getting to.. Foster's cobalt-blue eyes and pale, pointy features have rarely been used to such ambiguous effect. Is she the hardest or the most hurt-looking woman you've ever seen?. Despite an impressive cast (excluding the excruciatingly dull O'Donoghue, a newcomer from Ireland), "The Rite" is the sort of misfire that Hollywood has long...

There are nifty tricks galore up the sumptuous sleeve of this offbeat and wildly entertaining thriller.. The remake has dumbed-down its source to a genre it always transcended: the slice-and-dice, snip-and-quip gore film.. A pleasing puzzle of feuding conjurers played by Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman.. The film's title is defined as the big finish to a magic trick, but the prestige of The Prestige...

Yes, there's enough connection with the source's underlying issues of repression and desire to give this reason to exist, but, boy, does Hardwicke labour in getting from fairy tale to would-be psycho-thriller.. Reasonably smart and sometimes funny -- right up until the end, when it sells out its intelligence in favor of a standard-issue dose of overwrought violence.. For the most part a taut, careful...

Scoop, an amiable romp of lighthearted fun.. Every actor has a few titles on his resume that he'd love to forget. So should you ever have the opportunity to meet Deception stars Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, we highly recommend you pretend this movie was never made.. Woody -- enough with the one-liners.. These classy people are put to the trashiest ends, and, for the most part, it's a pleasure to...

The manufacturer's date might be relatively recent, but almost all the ideas and moves are definitely older than the likable cast members.. After six installments, it's not exactly cutting edge.. A film so frighteningly familiar it could well be called Saw It Already.. As with the first film, BI2 abounds with red herrings and misdirection, and comes up with an equally ambiguous Did she or didn't she?...

What was the thinking behind all this?. . . At times, Ritchie and company try so hard to make sure this isn't your father's Sherlock Holmes that it comes across as, well, cartoonish.. This is a swashbuckling, pratfalling romp designed to make cerebral Holmes purists drop their monocles into their teacups.. Though purists may balk at Arthur Conan Doyle's literary world being manhandled into a blockbuster...

It can make for an exasperating ride, since the filmmakers fudge the line between earnest manipulation and flip self-mockery.. . A genuinely cunning psychological thriller.. A film that is thiiiis close to nailing the whole suspense/thriller/ serial-killer genre.. It isn't a standard slasher flick, but it impersonates one for so long you want to slap it around.. Assorted examples of artificially flavoured...
