The truth is that this series has run out of steam and now needs closure

Though the performances in 3 Storeys are competent, and the absence of melodrama a relief, it is not a film that impacts an audience, either emotionally or intellectually

Without doubt this is the most kinky Hollywood film nominated for the Oscars

A good looking film in which the audience keeps drifting in and out of the story

Even if you do not question the politics of ‘The 15:17 to Paris’, you do wonder at Eastwood’s faulty plot design

The altruistic fictional PadMan is a wonderful cinematic icon

It has to be admitted that the film is rarely dull, until the final shoot out

All in all, this film may well be a low point in the oeuvre of Paul Thomas Anderson

The sheer pointlessness of this movie - as entertainment, as quasi-history, as fairy tale, and as a contemporary political tool - is flabbergasting

The movie drifts along nicely, until you get a little tired, and wish that it all leads to a quick and rousing conclusion. Unfortunately, that does not happen
