Search: Directed by Joel Schumacher

The plot produces one of those surprise twists that reinforces its decline into gratuitous cliché.

The jokes dry up, because Rock is a one-gag guy

This is low-key, nervous, twisted stuff, hinting at anger so deeply ingrained it can only erupt in tight, controlled spurts of rage.

The acting alone makes Flawless essential. Schumacher's script is a bonus.

Most of those who fell for this film when it came out still love it today. There's just one problem: it really isn't very good.

Horribly unlikely, indulgent murder mystery, the outcome of which you're likely to guess at least half an hour before the end.

A considerably flawed, yet visually superb, tale of beauty, beast and love.

Schumacher uses split screens and visual wizardry to retain a breakneck pace.

The film is like a time capsule and you can't help watching it with a car-crash fascination.

Filmmaking that does not compromise for the sake of entertainment.

Director Joel Schumacher is subdued.
