Search: Starring Will Patton

The film goes for broke. No safety net. No apologies. Believing in itself.

Lind is compelling in the lead.

New York in the Eighties contributes some of the film’s iconic imagery, but it’s Santo Loquasto’s costumes that are perhaps the most memorable element.

Entrapment is a thriller so light it floats away into that place where a 60-year-old bloke is as agile as a chamois and a girl who works in insurance doubles as an international art thief.

An absorbing time passer.

Gone In 60 Seconds provides you with all you need for a popcorn blockbuster.

There is an exercise in nostalgia from the fonts in the credits that seem serif-perfect to the liberal reapplication of Carpenter's original score.

It has all the hallmarks of a production destined for a television mini-series with apparently three other chapters promised by Costner.

What makes Jesus' Son uniquely different from the neo-realistic traditions of waste and degradation movies is its ability to avoid cliché, as well as its skewed, end-of-the-line humour.

Along with her eye for composition, Reichardt also deserves praise for the focus on the smaller period details.

The idea of a younger family member gradually forming a connection with an older one is a constant in cinema but it has a purity here that is shorn of unnecessary sentiment.

As an actor, Costner plays his trademark laid-back, soppy-hearted loner, offering nothing new. As a director, he is so casual with detail he might not have been there.

Peter Parker thinks he has problems if he can't pay rent, get a girlfriend, or if no one likes him. Boo hoo! Frank Castle has REAL problems, none of this wimpy crap.

Redneck kids bond with black brothers. It's so corny, it can't be true. And yet it is - or was.

This quiet, unfussy film feels more important than a whole host of glossy blockbusters.
