Mini-Review: Mixing the right amounts of humour, pathos and spy-related high-jinx in a fast paced, engaging popcorn-movie with some of the more ingenious set-pieces in recent history.

Mini-Review: As American teen comedies go, this is definitely in the top tier, with Stone and Tucci as the main attractions.

Mini-Review: Soulless and grotesquely inept storytelling destroys what could have been a decent enough kid's movie. A kid's movie filled with hard violence, break dancing robots, skanky women and the biggest douche-bag father figure protagonist since Schwarzenegger in Jingle All The Way.

Mini-Review: Great cast and brilliant set-up gets pulled down by a somewhat sloppy execution, but not so much that the silliness isn't enjoyable. "The last time that I trusted a dame was in Paris in 1940. She said she was going out to get a bottle of wine. Two hours later, the Germans marched into France."

Mini-Review: Beginning with a wet-dream "Bond-intro meets Nine Inch Nail video" title-sequence, the rest of the film is surprisingly restrained. It follows both the Swedish version's style and the book's unnessesarily eclectic structure closer than one could have hoped for from Fincher. Rapace is obviously a hard act to follow, but Mara manages to create an interesting character in her own right. Summed up: A decent dark thriller, a worthy remake (for once) but less than you could have hoped for from Fincher
