The film looks great, but Wargnier is so heavy-handed in his portrayal of postwar Russia that it casts suspicions on the film's reliability as history. -

The only genuine surprises on hand are the few moments when the film defies the expectations that have been programmed into our collective neurons by the past 25 years of horror movies. -

More than just a disappointment. It is also a spoiler, possibly weakening the impact of "Silence" for its fans. -

The result is by no means the embarrassment that many such offerings from unjustifiably vain actor-auteurs have been, but nor does it present much of anything new or compelling to demand one's attention. -

All the new plot stuff is way old hat, as though straight from a textbook chapter called "Conflict Drives Your Narrative!" And at times the motivations are either unclear or senseless. -

If a movie is going to be so totally derivative, it should at least do a better job of it. -

Hope Floats comes lumbering along, scourging all in its path with saccharine sentimentality and bogus emotions. -

While tyro director Simon West fills Con Air with all the slam-bang action and well-honed wisecracks that were the more positive qualities of its predecessors, the film brims even more with all their worst qualities. -

This really should have gone straight to video--or, better yet, to the nearest landfill. -

Nobody involved will want to make this banal "comedy" a highlight of their résumé, not if they have any sense. -

It would be heartening if the adolescent girls of America turned their backs on this pandering piece of kitsch, but that would be hoping too much. -

First, the good news: Unlike most action film sequels, Speed 2: Cruise Control is not a mere retread of the original. Now the bad news: Better it had been. -
