1/5 33% Click (2006) " When the DVD comes out I'm going to buy it and fast-forward through the whole thing. You know, for vengeance." — BBC

Posted Jun 6, 2006
1/5 40% Running Scared (2006) " We haven't even mentioned the hockey puck torture scene, or the relentless ricochetting camerawork, or the multiple last minute switcheroos -- it's got more endings than Lord Of The Rings." — BBC
Posted Mar 11, 2006

Posted Aug 27, 2002
10% Bad Company (2002) " '[Hopkins]doesn't so much phone in his performance as fax it. No, even that's too committed. He gets his secretary to fax it."" — Teletext

2/5 50% Cass (2008) " Cass has more heart than your average hooligan flick, but it's a clumsy, compromised film, hamstrung by its own redemptive structure and too infatuated with its protagonist to take an objective point of view." — Film4

Posted Oct 19, 2007
2/5 20% The Invasion (2007) " Having established an effectively creepy mood in the first half, the film eventually degenerates into a muddled mess, with Nicole and Daniel Craig dodging zombies while popping amphetamines in a desperate effort to stay awake. We know how they feel." — BBC
Posted Oct 16, 2007
2/5 22% Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) " Director Russell Mulcahy, a veteran of sci-fi tat, knows well enough to keep his camera firmly focussed on the exploding heads, and of course, there's the semi-naked Milla. One for Saturday night DVD rental, really." — BBC
Posted Oct 9, 2007
2/5 12% War (Rogue Assassin) (2007) " All together now: 'War! Hurgh! What is it it good for?'" — BBC
Posted Oct 2, 2007
2/5 13% Mr. Woodcock (2007) " Mr Woodcock offers one or two glorious moments of slapstick comedy, separated by a tumbleweed-strewn tundra of tedium." — BBC
Posted Sep 28, 2007
2/5 41% December Boys (2007) " Based on a novel by Michael Noonan, this sentimental tale of Australian orphans coming of age by the seaside has little to distinguish it except for the presence of Daniel Radcliffe." — BBC
Posted Sep 11, 2007
2/5 19% Rush Hour 3 (2007) " Two hours of non-stop, ear-shattering, humourless shrieking. It's simply unbearable. You soon find yourself begging for him to die." — BBC

2/5 7% Captivity (2007) " Joffe and his screenwriter Larry Cohen deserve a little credit for pointing up the psychological horrors where they can, but Captivity is still a grubby, exploitative film with an extremely guessable twist and universally dull performances." — BBC
