It could be argued that this movie's callousness toward human life is nihilistic and nasty. But Woo takes everything so absurdly far that audiences laugh at what horrified them moments before. [27Jun1997 Pg01.D] -

Director Dominik Moll knows how to make a gruesome-free thriller and even manages some dark laughs as he turns the screws. -

By emphasizing surreal humor and fast-paced action instead, Rodriguez has crafted a prepubescent version of James Bond without aping that series' style. -

Uneven, amateurish and borderline misogynistic. But it's also very funny, and it never loses its cool. -

Cronenberg can create alternative worlds like few other filmmakers, and that's a real achievement. If he learns to make us care about them, he'll really have something. [23 April 1999, Life, p.8E] -

The economical, fast-paced style and creepy mood are reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone." -

This surprisingly sentimental science-fiction thriller boasts enough fresh twists to satisfy time-travel junkies. -

Missing are well-choreographed action scenes, likable characters and involving plot twists. -

Fans will appreciate not only that the film is predictably solid and surprisingly sharp but that parts of it are just plain bad. -

The movie is something of a white elephant itself, a luxuriant, lumbering behemoth. It is pleasant, occasionally amusing - and often dull. -

Snake Eyes sports some of the most breathtaking filmmaking of De Palma's career -- and Nicolas Cage is the one actor who cannot be upstaged by it. [18 September 1998, p. 11E] -

The action scenes in Vertical Limit take cliffhanging to the highest peaks of excitement. It's a shame the story keeps dragging us down to sea level. -

Thinking isn't going to do anyone a bit of good during Blue Streak. Turn off your brain instead and you might enjoy it. -

It is a measure of the movie's lack of inspiration that William Shatner is the funniest thing in it. -

A curious but intriguing movie that leaves you bemused and more than a little confused. -

No disinfectant could clean up this misbegotten, Americanized remake of "Les Visiteurs." -

Allen Daviau's cinematography is so striking that the movie would probably play better with the sound off. -

Best to wait until the movie makes it to TV - where its missteps will loom less large. -

Pure nonsense is hard to sustain for an entire feature-length movie. -

Shot by a special-effects superstar making his first stab at directing, Mark Dippe, the result is dizzying in its unreality, and the visual tricks are impressive. [01Aug1997 Pg.02.D] -
