Maria Bello

Plays more like Die Hard 2 on a budget than a remake in spirit of Carpenter's scrappy original....When the remake is so flavorless...it's time to hit the video shelves.

[Cronenberg] investigates his own cinematic propensity for violence and skill at purveying it...sex and violence can be random, can be animal, and certainly can be satisfying.

A scathing satire....If there's a lesson, it's that spinning your fellow Americans is the real national pastime--the greater problem is when you spin yourself.

Despite what you may have heard, World Trade Center isn't entirely apolitical, just understated in its commentary.

Joyless spectacle: it has a certain epic sweep...but it also has tacky CGI Yeti.

The TV-bred Wells...has written and directed The Company Men without ever coloring outside the lines: it’s all a bit too neat and obvious and predictable.

The tasteful austerity of style and solid performances can't overcome a script that largely stands between emotional humanity and the viewer.

What could be an inspirational teacher-student, coach-player story keeps playing the race card of simple non-whites not being able to see their own way to prosperity without a guiding white light, who in turn learns from their unsophisticated purity.
