Search: Starring Thora Birch

13 Minutes is a sort of Casualty with tornadoes. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The pacing means the plot doesn't sizzle so much as stew, with only the basic psychological drivers explored.

As a thumbnail analysis of the middle-class American psyche, Alan Ball's script is a devastating attack. It is also extremely funny.

While tolerance levels for this kind of self-consciously arty style will vary, it is hard to fault the fizzing ambition and high-voltage energy that K-Stew and her team bring to the party.

A refreshing change from all the hacked and mangled body parts that seem to be the only requirement for a horror film these days.

Buscemi gives one of his finest performances.

The signposts are misleading. This is an intelligent thriller.

A monumental bore.
