You've been warned...” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jun 13, 2003 Full Review Anger Management (2003) 42% 1/5 EDIT “The amount of laughs [here] is about the same as the number of Oscars Nicholson has. Maybe one less.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Jun 13, 2003 Full Review A Man Apart (2003) 10% 2/5 EDIT “...predictable and routine in the extreme.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Apr 4, 2003 Full Review Far From Heaven (2002) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Moore, who, with her striking eyes and smile, is the perfect physical reminder of the wholesome 1950s American housewife, should run Kidman close for the Oscar.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Mar 6, 2003 Full Review What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001) 10% 1/5 EDIT “The most pathetic attempt at comedy in a long time.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review We Were Soldiers (2002) 63% EDIT “Ultimately, it staggers out bloodied, partially bowed, but at least not totally beaten.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review National 7 (Uneasy Rider) (2000) EDIT “A refreshing, provocative and often hilarious tale of desire and reality, and the conundrum of how to satisfy the two.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review Under the Sand (2000) 93% EDIT “A measured yet deeply enthralling character study of loss and loyalty.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review Training Day (2001) 74% 4/5 EDIT “While most critics have chosen to highlight Washington's performance as the standout, it would be unfair not to mention Ethan Hawke, who plays the rookie Hoyt with a perfect patina of guileless enthusiasm.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Scorpion King (2002) 40% 1/5 EDIT “How any studio head figured Mr Rock could carry a big-budget vehicle on his own is simply mind-boggling.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Pledge (2001) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Penn has moulded a patient but deeply unsettling character study, leaving the viewer with more questions than answers.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Piano Teacher (2001) 75% EDIT “If genital mutilation, rape, incest and twisted acts of sexual gratification are your thing, then this is the film for you. Any takers?” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Musketeer (2001) 11% 2/5 EDIT “Errol Flynn can rest easy in his grave.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Mexican (2001) 54% EDIT “The final concern for the audience is not how the film will end (you won't care), but when?” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Majestic (2001) 42% 2/5 EDIT “If this film were confectionery, it would rot every tooth in your head and leave you with a sickening stomach cramp.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Last Castle (2001) 52% 1/5 EDIT “After impressing with his debut, former film critic Lurie has destroyed all of his credibility in the space of two hours with this display of jaundiced jingoism.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review The Glass House (2001) 21% 2/5 EDIT “With debut director Sackheim struggling to infuse the pedestrian plot with any sense of vigour, 'The Glass House' is rendered less memorable with every passing minute.” – RTÉ (Ireland) Feb 13, 2003 Full Review
