Brad Pitt

Mr. and Mrs. Smith has a one-joke premise, and it's one we've seen before....But Liman fights valiantly to sustain the newfangled comic tango and largely succeeds.

Sour candy...redeemed by its humor and its clever construction, harkening back to the relatively optimistic crime comedy Fargo.

With fine acting all around, and Fincher's typically meticulous filmmaking engagingly, if coldly, transportive above and beyond Roth's mediocre script, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button bears examining.

Two generations of Hollywood 'golden boys' team up in Tony Scott's Spy Game, a neatly plotted espionage thriller.

Gilliam's polarizing style is at its near-best...a dazzling feat of storytelling that bristles with provocative ideas.

A whole lot of movie, but it’s also technically mature filmmaking to a thematically juvenile end.

One of the seminal films of the 1990s...just as darkly funny, epic, and psychically wrenching as ever.

The promise of extraordinary brain power isn't fulfilled.

Say what you will about Thelma & Louise (many have), but there's no doubt that it was a zeitgeist picture with a potent cultural impact.

[Malick] wants to see so much: people and through people to their souls, the world and through the world to the ineffable, life and death and through them to their meaning. And...he wants to help us to see it all too.

Despite it all, just try to take your eyes off this movie: skillfully crafted by Levinson, Sleepers is eminently watchable, deeply emotional, and populated with top acting talent.

'It brings out my happy.' For kids facing a potentially rough adulthood, it's probably a message worth hearing, maybe more than once.

The film succeeds by simply, plainly placing audiences in the emotional crucible of pre-abolition America and firing their imaginations.

Life may be meaningless, but Cameron Diaz doing the (commando) splits on your windshield makes for a momentary distraction. I think we can all agree on that.

A throwback combat movie that offers tanks for the memories, along with vivid performances.

Elucidate[s] the fiscal rigamarole leading up to the bursting of the housing and credit bubble circa 2008, while also whipping up a palatable froth of cynicism and absurdity.

Content finally joined by the movie gods to form—for at last, the moving-picture magpie has lighted on Hollywood as his setting and, in no small part, his subject.

There's a glib amorality about this action farce but Pitt is funny as a philosophical self-help-reading dude-bro assassin.
