Joseph Fiennes

Radford takes a stylish but decidedly low-key tack, demanding naturalist acting to crawl under the viewer's skin.

Okay, so [it's] the hokiest war movie in the last 35 years....Bottom line: is the raid great? The answer is "yes," qualified by the film's unearned 132-minute running time.

With its compulsive theatricality, Running With Scissors enacts what may be the most unpleasant brand of insanity in a film full of them.

Near-total lack of narrative tension...Competent acting and direction handily stave off artistic disaster, but Risen has been constructed not so much to inspire as to renew the already faithful.
