Mini-Review: Maybe a bit too long (it's still pretty short), this is how more comedy movies should be.
Mini-Review: Skip this one and go straight for the sequel.
Mini-Review: Michael Bay at his most restrained, least Michael Bayish... until the second half which turns into your standard chase movie. It's well-shot and painfully dumb, but that's fine.
Mini-Review: It's not even good in a bad action movie way, which is all I wanted out of this.
Mini-Review: Not very good at all. It's most impressive to watch Following in light of Memento, which is an impressive leap in quality.
Mini-Review: Pretty good for what it is, which is essentially Mission: Impossible set inside someone's head. The biggest problem is just how tame all of the dreams are--more just action movie setpieces than anything surreal or weird. I enjoyed myself.
Mini-Review: Very entertaining. Works especially well because it's short, and the central actors are all fun as hell to watch.
Mini-Review: Totally kinetic and crazy, every scene crackles with tons of energy. I don't completely buy Steve Railsback in some scenes, but it's really a minor issue when so much madness is going on around him.
Mini-Review: Pretty good I guess. It's manipulative and cheesy, but it's pretty well-shot and enjoyable throughout.
Mini-Review: Awful because of how painfully mediocre it is. They had a really good concept and did nothing interesting with it, and it doesn't help that this film has some of the most boringly unimaginative photography I've seen in a while. The story never builds up any momentum or presents any interesting challenges, or even any decent action. All you're left with is some fun gore and a few good ideas, but it isn't worth it.
