It is so propulsive so much of the time, it almost looks as if it's going to go the distance. If Washington & Co. don't quite manage to bring it home, the getting there sure is something.- San Francisco Chronicle

Doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen.- San Francisco Chronicle

What makes it interesting is the story that the viewer must put together, of a model who lives her entire life -- or at least what we see of it -- in front of the camera.- San Francisco Chronicle

Something so sappy, no one would believe me if I told them. It has to be seen to be disbelieved.- San Francisco Chronicle

The specifics of their predicament are well handled -- being thrown in a Third World prison may be every tourist's nightmare -- even if the movie eventually goes soft and squishy.- San Francisco Chronicle

Astonishing visualizations of the afterlife are coupled with a drawn-out allegory about communication between the living and the dead that becomes something of a trial to sit through.- San Francisco Chronicle

Not half-bad. It's about three- quarters bad, actually, but what's left offers some goof-off fun.- San Francisco Chronicle

He (Aronofsky) has put together a phantasmagoria of self-destructive obsession that is so visually astounding it becomes its own saving grace. Otherwise, we might not be able to bear it.- San Francisco Chronicle

A hodgepodge of half-baked visual styles can't disguise the fact that this dismal thriller is all situation and no story.- San Francisco Chronicle

This movie can be recommended only to dyed-in-the-wool fans of the genre. Anyone who goes into one of Miike's films must be prepared to be put through the wringer.- San Francisco Chronicle

I Stand Alone ("Seul contre tous" in French) is a portrait of a pathetic soul, but it is also a cautionary tale. The butcher cannot be dismissed as a monster, nor is this a creep show. Something like the butcher's story can be found almost every day in newspaper crime reports.- San Francisco Chronicle

The picture, directed by Rick Famuyiwa, becomes a juggling act, contrasting the efforts of the three grown-up buddies to get to a wedding on time, with flashbacks of their youth.- San Francisco Chronicle

Action in an action comedy is supposed to be funny, too, as Jackie Chan well knows. The refitting of the crashed plane is so tedious we feel as if we're doing the work ourselves.- San Francisco Chronicle

Claude Rains' performance in the title role of The Invisible Man may be outtasight, but you can still see the hand of director James Whale.- San Francisco Chronicle
