Search: Starring Joshua Jackson

The motivation at the centre of Bryan Singer's follow up to his scintilating debut, The Usual Suspects, is not so much dubious as blurred.

Estevez uses Bobby’s words too much, but you can’t blame him, because Kennedy’s compassion and sympathy for the underprivileged shines.

Roger Kumble's screenplay lacks the finesse, charm and wit of Choderlos de Laclos's 18th century classic.

The twists in the plot have a satisfactory gloss to them, as if the element of surprise is a new cocktail.

Although the cast all appear to be having a whale of a time, it doesn't quite translate to the amount of laughs it ought to.

Just so you know, if you've seen Babe, or Animal Farm, there isn't any reason to see this. I'm surprised there haven't been infringement lawsuits threatened.

Horror-by-numbers, not so different from wearing a blindfold and having a friend burst crisp packets behind one's head at random intervals.

It is hokum, pure and not-so-simple, executed with youthful zest.
