Search: Starring Diane Lane

Like a mutant monster, barreling out of control and straining to contain its own shifting form.

What makes this film so much more than a thriller is the very terrible human emotional territory it dares to venture in.

Teen shockers are growing up. This is an excellent example of the cruel step-parents scenario, which, in the past, would have degenerated into mad-axe behaviour.

An exercise in sentimentality.

As usual with Pixar the film operates on twin levels - with one part going straight over the heads and minds of its junior target audience and the other heading directly to their parents.

A simple piece of mindlessly gratifying entertainment.

Despite its winning formula of talent, concept and visual execution, Jumper feels like a slightly anaemic first instalment.

An in-depth portrait of the production, a rare opportunity to see how a film on that scale is put together.

The first two acts are so strong, it's almost a shame that the invasion plot arrives, and things start blowing up real good.

A sterling performance from a silvery Liam Neeson.

Its predictability acts like comfort food and the complete absence of surprise feels satisfying, like a Wendy's double burger with cheese.

If those were the days, boy, they moved slow.

Well aimed at its target audience.

There is no room for quirky individualism, as writer Bill Wittliff shovels on the sentimentality. Even the dialogue is highlighted with italics.

The film is like a work of art that exists outside movements and influence, perfectly formed.

This is not so much a study in stereotypes, courtesy of Jimmy Dean’s legacy, but a love poem to the restless, doomed, anarchic integrity of orphaned hearts.

Despite this period being so rich in potential subject matter, this admittedly handsomely mounted, nimble and quite funny film chooses to take a pretty much conventional ride to a victory-lap finish.

Unfolding without tension or logic, Untraceable doesn’t miss a derivative beat.

It's a sense of humour failure that finally sinks the movie.

The photography is sumptuous, the settings perfect, the foreplay sensual.
