Search: Starring Eva Mendes

The car chases are exciting for those who appreciate hand/eye co-ordination and the stunts can be impressive.

No film by Herzog has ever been so defiantly mainstream – and yet at the same time this remains one of the director's craziest, most outlandish affairs.

Honestly, the full import of all this was lost on me, but since writer/director Mark Steven Johnson seems similarly confused about the whole deal, let's just call it even.

Our culture's insistence that appearances don't matter to the average woman is not only insulting, it's false.

Mendes more veiled than unveiled and, at times, resembling the Virgin Mary, is wonderful, confused and tender.

Worthington is so wooden it's a wonder rubbing up against Mendes doesn't cause him to spontaneously combust.

The plot quickly runs out of narrative drive, preferring to deluge the senses with symbolic and surrealistic images.

Wahlberg, perfect in his role, has fun sending up his macho persona.

Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines, tells stories of fatherhood with a fine-tuned generosity, as haunted men cycle through patterns spinning out of control.

Incomplete, inchoate, incompetent.

It's unclear whether we're supposed to be laughing at, or with, the protagonists - a fatal mistake.

Low-budget charmer shows a different side and range to Owen Wilson.

As a cinematic experience it’s as dull and maddening as a bad dose of PMT.

This is a tale which rewards the intelligent viewer and, ultimately, has much more to say for itself than the average crime thriller.
