Search: Starring Maria Bello

On balance this is a serviceable thriller with plenty of exciting moments.

Richet is at his best when moving quickly - he's a director in love with momentum.

The film's attempt at softcore titillation fails; it's like a tacky home movie, masquerading as social comment.

It's well directed but even if most of the cast weren't phoning it in they would have real difficulty eliciting sympathy.

Not a particularly impressive film.

Unfortunately, it becomes clear that the filmmakers have bitten off more than they can chew.

The plot swithers this way and that.

Bello makes a strong impression, making a lot of a role that could easily have been played by numbers.

An unflinching indictment of the savagery at the heart of the American dream.

Pleasing enough for those seeking nothing deeper than formulaic romance, but the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.

As a one trick pony the film executes a number of repetitive moves that inspire a factor of fear which seems genuine

With acting this wooden one might as well be watching a puppet show.

This whole venture is silly-side-up.

Prisoners, surprisingly for a film that lasts 153 minutes, holds you captive for the entire runtime.

Wry, funny and emotionally-charged.

As a thriller, it is non-conformist and packed with surprises.

The debuting Reitman handles the film with inventive style and confident assurance.

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.
