Review: Duplicity

The audience will very much slog through the laborious twists of Tony Gilroy’s ultimately routine, money-stakes-only espionage caper.

Review: Inside Man

Imagine a heist film cast by the Rainbow Coalition and you have some idea of what Spike Lee does with Inside Man.

Review: Derailed

Derailed has its suspenseful locomotive force disrupted by the clumsy plotting of Stuart Beattie’s script.

Review: Sin City

If Sin City’s construction is wholly self-aware, its deliberately affected performances wisely forgo winks to their own outlandishness.

Review: Closer

With its pretty close-ups of pretty actors and pretty slow-motion shots set to pretty songs, Closer settles for preciousness.
