Search: Starring Olivia Wilde

It's an unbridled pleasure to see Bateman off the leash for once.

With so much good work involved in the cowboy side of the film, it's a real shame that the aliens appear to have been hastily sketched on the back of an envelope.

You have no idea how enjoyable this is

The perspective feels forced and wrong.

The themes of friendship and teamwork are targeted at young audiences but it zips along at pace - a reminder that you don't need super-complex plotting, so long as you deliver on laughs.

The plotting is completely incoherent and balanced atop a trembling tower of absurdities.

Ruzowitzky bobs and weaves around the cliches in ways that lift Deadfall above many of its genre contemporaries.

What might in lesser hands have been an aimless, stilted disaster here becomes, thanks to these capable, funny capable actors, a finely observed naturalist comedy of manners.

It is in these details, the small objects Jonze provides us with in his film of disembodied desires, that essences become distilled.

The end result is sweet but its best ideas are underdeveloped, leaving it with the slightness of something conceived on the hoof.

The writers are crafty enough to stick to a formula yet still keep things fresh, with the 'central' diagnosis often kept very much on the fringes, so that the relationships within the story are allowed free reign.

An odd mix of affectionate satire and jarringly brutal slapstick, the former more successful than the latter except for when an unhinged Jim Carrey is on the prowl.

Wilde's direction is assured, there's some gorgeous framing and frequent Rogen collaborator Adam Newport-Berra's camera makes the most of what's in front of it.

A shallow, stagnant film that whiffs of plagiarism.

The splintered pain of grief interrupted marks out the directorial debut of Reed Morano.

A classic case of an intriguing film concept gone to waste.

Despite a running time of barely 90 minutes, this film seems to take an age to get to the point.

The pace is well controlled and never too breathless to lose direction.

Undoubtedly a classy mainstream product.

You are unlikely to see a better-looking film this year or a film that is more of its moment – but if you see this a few years hence, it will no doubt already have started looking as redundant as an Eighties arcade game.
