Mini-Review: Can come across a bit pretentious and has several other flaws, but in the end, it's a decent sci-fi thriller. Gyllenhall is gold.
Mini-Review: It's a bit of a shaky start, but once you settle in and get the feel for the tone, it's incredibly sensitively handled. Gordon-Levitt is absolutely incredible. It may also include rather mundane, overly-used plot devices and stock characters, but it adds to the authentic feel to the storytelling and to the film as a whole.
Mini-Review: Standard affair. Uninspired, overly crass and predictable
Mini-Review: I loved it. Typically French and an ideal example of how good foreign films can be. The quirky humour went down a treat, the acting is great, espcially Tautou, and the concept and execution was so bizarre, but it all came together and worked. Thoroughly recommend it.
Mini-Review: It can be a bit pretentious at times and it does go a bit overboard on the backstories, but at the end of the day, I was entertained. It may not be a blockbuster, and I admit it tries so hard to be, but it's still pretty solid overall.
Mini-Review: Pretty standard affair. Didn't expect it to be great, and it wasn't. Plot holes, annoyances and flaws aplenty, but it's still got heart and for such a simple premise, the themes and script are actually not half bad. Vaughn still generally annoys me though.
Mini-Review: At first, especially if you haven't read up on what this is about, you have absolutely no clue what's happening, and then little by little, more is revealed. All leading up to the end scene. Only then do you realise the brilliance of this film. Pitt and Willis are absolutely superb. The script and soundtrack are great. A really great film.
Mini-Review: A damn good movie. Pitched almost perfectly emotionally. Robin Williams is absolutely superb. The story may be simple, but it's told with the utmost care and by such a great script that this film becomes, for me, a classic.
