Russell Crowe
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)
Cinderella Man (2005)
Cinderella Man
may not be subtle, but it's reminiscent of the well-crafted popular entertainments of Hollywood's Golden Age, blarney and all.
3:10 to Yuma (2007)
Two gripping hours so richly realized you won't want them to end.
American Gangster (2007)
Inflated talk of
American Gangster
as a modern masterpiece--or even an Oscar-worthy picture--ignores the fact that there's not a single memorable setpiece in the film.
L.A. Confidential (1997)
A modern cinematic classic...the alchemical reaction of a director and a charmed collaboration of actors, writers, and design artists...
Body of Lies (2008)
If you’re going to have a mall-ready entertainment about the war on terror, you might as well have this one.
State of Play (2009)
Macdonald shifts the emphasis to highlight a moment when declining readership and corporate bottom lines threaten the tradition of print journalism.
The Next Three Days (2010)
Audiences may roll an eye here or there, but they're unlikely to lose interest in John's efforts.
Les Misérables (2012)
A mixed bag of suitable and not-so-suitable choices. On balance, though, it's about as compelling a screen version of
Les Mis
as we have any right to expect...Pop a dramamine and you'll be fine.
Man of Steel (2013)
Man of Steel (2013)
On balance, this new cinematic take on a 75-year-old icon constitutes a worthy Superman movie and a modest improvement for a franchise that had creatively stalled.
Winter's Tale (2014)
Runs on Judeo-Christian good-versus-evil mythology and the firm belief that love conquers all, especially if you have a magic flying horse. I know that sounds pretty awesome, but...
The Mummy (2017)
As a story to speak to our hearts and minds, it's an utter failure, and perhaps so too even as a disposable corporate product.
Boy Erased (2018)
On the side of truth, social justice, and human dignity...despite all that,
Boy Erased
never quite coalesces into the deeply moving and insightful film its pedigree seems to promise.
