  • Carlito's Way: Rise To Power (2005)
    Review preview for Carlito's Way: Rise To Power

    There is simply nothing worthy of recommendation here.

    Keith Dudhnath · 1 out of 5
    Prequel. No Al Pacino. Puff Daddy.
  • Crazy/Beautiful (2001)
    Review preview for Crazy/Beautiful

    This one has good chemistry and a feisty performance from Dunst.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    Poor little rich girl falls for serious-minded Mexican student from poor family.
  • Friday Night Lights (2004)
    Review preview for Friday Night Lights

    Friday Night Lights never wavers in its commitment to that perfect, quintessentially American moment.

    The Exile · 4.5 out of 5
    A high school football team offering hope in a depressed American town.
  • Hostel (2005)
    Review preview for Hostel

    Hostel is, on one level, your standard slice-and-dice bloodbath... but it's also a startlingly brazen attack on America's sense of entitlement.

    The Exile · 3.5 out of 5
    Teen backpackers get more than they bargain for in sex-fuelled horror.
  • Hostel: Part II (2007)
    Review preview for Hostel: Part II

    The scenario piles improbability upon improbability in an attempt to introduce fresh twists to an already exhausted premise.

    Keith Hennessey Brown · 2.5 out of 5
    A bunch of annoying American students get tricked by stereotypical Eastern Europeans.
  • Ladder 49 (2004)
    Review preview for Ladder 49

    There's no real involvement, or epic feel, though there is enough emotion to make it worthwhile.

    Gator MacReady · 3 out of 5
    In praise of the firefighter, post 9/11.
  • Lakeview Terrace (2008)
    Review preview for Lakeview Terrace

    Overall, this is a disappointment from LaBute.

    Jennie Kermode · 2.5 out of 5
    A widowed LAPD officer is determined to make his new neighbours leave because they're in a mixed-race marriage.
  • Quarantine (2008)
    Review preview for Quarantine

    The ghost of [Rec] haunts the production, which is enough to ensure it stays semi-focused upon the horror of being trapped in a vortex of feral rage.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    Firemen face deadly virus in LA apartment block.
  • The Rookie (2002)
    Review preview for The Rookie

    It's so oozy with reverence for the national game, you feel like taking up topless darts to get away from it.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    True life story of Jim Morris, the oldest rookie in major league baseball.
  • Torque (2004)
    Review preview for Torque

    In between the 1000cc revs, the squeaking leather and the speed-induced adrenalin rushes, a plot lurks.

    David Stanners · 2 out of 5
    A two-wheel adrenaline rush, with raging testosterone, tight leathers and CGI.
  • Toy Story 4 (2019)
    Review preview for Toy Story 4

    The simple search and rescue plot is more than adequate an adventure in which to indulge the antics of our original toys, and allows space to throw in a few choice newcomers.

    Tony Sullivan · 4.5 out of 5
    The gang go on a road trip with a new toy named Forky.
  • World Trade Center (2006)
    Review preview for World Trade Center

    If there is one word to describe World Trade Center it would be 'reverent'. If it wasn't so well directed, so well acted, so well edited, Stone might be accused of going soft.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    The tragedy of 9/11, as seen through the eyes of two survivors and their families.
