Sexy Beast
(2000)
|
Ian Johnston
|
Glazer insists on using inadvisable fantasy images, and it becomes clear that the film has been haphazardly restructured.

Evolution
(2001)
|
Adrian Hennigan
|
The funniest summer blockbuster since Men In Black.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin
(2001)
|
Francesca Franklyn
|
There are some great set-pieces and comic moments and enough drama and beauty for some pleasant escapism.

(2001)
|
Monika Maurer

Funny and imaginative.

Bridget Jones's Diary
(2001)
|
Jane Crowther
|
Faithful to its source, perfectly cast and even funnier than the book.

About Adam
(2000)
|
Neil Smith
|
Once you succumb to the picture's gentle rhythm and quirky sense of humour, you're sure to find it beguiling, intriguing and over too soon.

Enemy at the Gates
(2001)
|
Ian Johnston
|
Works as both a compelling thriller and engaging romance.

In the Mood for Love
(2000)
|
Monika Maurer
|
A feast for the eyes and -- with a Nat King Cole vocal refrain -- also the ears.

The Million Dollar Hotel
(2000)
|
Ian Johnston
|
Vacuous, tedious, pretentious and featuring some uniformly atrocious acting.

Memento
(2000)
|
Stephen Applebaum
|
This is virtuoso filmmaking, stylistically dazzling and head-scratchingly intricate.

Snatch
(2000)
|
Robin Askew
|
At least Ritchie's leanly plotted, briskly directed yarn is more entertaining than all the other Brit gangster flicks that trailed in the wake of Lock, Stock.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
(2000)
|
Monika Maurer
|
Love, pathos, fear and humour are all brilliantly evoked -- for this is not simply a great martial arts movie, this is an Ang Lee film.

What Women Want
(2000)
|
Monika Maurer
|
Makes for passable entertainment.

The Family Man
(2000)
|
Monika Maurer
|
While it may be wholly unoriginal The Family Man is also surprisingly touching and funny.

American Psycho

Simon Wardell

Bale has never been better.

Chicken Run
(2000)
|
Robin Askew
|
It all builds to a fabulously frantic, hilarious action-packed climax.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
(2000)
|
Robin Askew
|
While it's not as clever as it thinks it is, it's considerably better than we had any right to expect.

Battlefield Earth
(2000)
|
Lisa Andrews
|
Big-budget, little-intelligence entertainment.

The Beach
(2000)
|
Monika Maurer
|
A kind of adventure holiday for the MTV generation rather than a cautionary tale of a society that turns in on itself.

Gladiator
(2000)

Peter Hill
|
A triumph!
