Search: Starring Bruce Dern

What really makes Buck interesting as a character is his awareness of his own failure.

Stoltz's restraint and the trust he places in his young stars generally pays off.

Captivating and informative.

There are a host of good performances in Scott Windhauser's earnest thriller, but the story and dialogue are so ridiculous that the stars really have their work cut out for them.

It’s somewhat odd that Mendez has opted for several different styles for this, but every one is enjoyable.

We get to witness the birth of a new genre and are confronted with a violent American history that Hollywood fictions have previously not dared to tackle.

The elements involved in creating this movie were well thought out and planned perfectly (just like the driver’s getaways).

Tarantino flexes his trash thrashed imagination and vomits forth the guts of a serial killer's darkest desires

Remakes don't have to be ten times the size. They usually are. And ten times worse.

As Brucie bursts into yet another room and unloads his automatics into yet another group of anonymous heavies you’ll find it hard not to think that this has all been done before – and better.

Badly acted, badly directed, emotionally irresponsible and dramatically unconvincing.

Construed by some as a blatant feminist sympathy trip, Theron's performance is a tour de force, picking up Jenkins's contentious baton with extreme gusto.

Behind the surface simplicity of a father and son road trip lurks a sharp and bitter-sweet odyssey with a strong sense of satire.

Undeniably, powerfully, tragic, a tale of ambition, bad decisions, cover-ups if not conspiracy - actual smoke-filled back rooms and dirt-road meetings notwithstanding - it is sympathetic to its protagonist but only so far.

Silent Running's beautiful cinematography will appeal to anyone.

Worthy of its nine Oscar nominations.
