Q: 1. Gone in 60 Seconds wins our grudging admiration. It's not easy to make a diverting film that's essentially about nothing.
2. Despite its many flaws, Seconds is still worth the price of admission.
3. Manages to avert complete fallout and be marginally entertaining.
4. A product that will delight car junkies and drive cinephiles to swear off film until fall.
5. Despite all my brain's arrogant attempts to dismiss the film as dim-witted hogwash, my gut liked it.
6. A sleek, polished production of filmmaking-by-committee, where nothing is left to chance: big stars, big production values, snazzy cinematography, a predictable climax.
7. Remember, it's Summer. Don't go there expecting to see an Oscar-winning performance...
8. 60 Seconds has a ripe sense of humour.
9. As slick and shiny as the chrome on a Chevy convertible.
10. Certainly a fun summer popcorn movie.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Even though Oscar-bearers Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and Robert Duval came aboard for this project, the quality of Gone in 60 Seconds is disappointingly low. The plot line is nonsensical, and even the promised car-chase scenes are boring.
1. There is absolutely nothing extraneous in LaBute's movie -- one of those lovely confluences of artistic vision and budgetary restrictions.
2. It's a creepy piece of work that gets under your skin, ruffles your sensibilities and just won't leave you alone.
3. The three leads inhabit their roles in the way only unknown actors can. They really seem to become the characters they're playing.
4. Interesting, original premise starts off with a slow burn, but eventually challenges you into watching the screen without a cringe.
5. A powerful moviegoing experience. Take my advice, and watch it with someone you love.
6. It's an impressive film, and all the more so for being a debut feature. If this LaBute guy can keep his edge on a bigger budget, he's one to watch.
7. One of those rarest of rare breeds -- a movie that doesn't just ignore Hollywood conventions, but openly flouts them.
8. The strength of LaBute's conception every step of the way is in forcing the issue of where we belong in this picture -- with Chad, with Howard, or with Christine.
9. The strength of this uncomfortable yet irresistable film lies in its writing, with the performances a close second.
10. Has been both exalted as a brilliant satire and scorned as a shallow burp of white male indigestion posing as satire. It's probably a little of both.
Consensus: Neil LaBute's pitch-black comedy is a masterful exploration of male insecurity, and it's elevated by a breakout performance by Aaron Eckhart as a businessman who likes to play psychological games.
Q: 1. What sets Bier's film apart from similar fare are the consistently fine performances and powerful scenes of surprising ferocity.
2. A wrenching experience...portrayed with a degree of honesty and intensity that transcends the hackneyed material.
3. ...an intelligent, gripping family drama with an exemplary cast. Open Hearts was a terrific film and Brothers is even better.
4. Explores the primal emotions of sibling rivalry and the toxins of violence in those returning home from war zones.
5. Brothers emerges as no less or more than Bier's claustrophobic compositions and unimaginative choices.
6. This story might have been a standard melodrama in less gifted hands, but Bier uses a leisurely pace and subtly stylized camera work to make it an intelligent, deeply moving exploration of social and individual ethics.
7. The deficiencies of Brothers lie in its wholesale adoption of war film clichés and obvious plotting.
8. This impressively original film plays with cliches, especially ones about how people act, and act out, in crises. Then it explodes those conventions with devastating consequences.
9. Through it all, Sarah is the linchpin, and Nielsen is never less than utterly convincing (something you couldn't say about her American work).
10. An often fascinating look at what it means to be a husband, a friend ... and a brother.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: This tense, understated drama explores the complications of individual and social ethics stemming from the repercussions of war on one man and his family.
1. Woody's last picture, 2010's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, managed to sneak onto my year-end "10 Worst" list, so color me stunned that Midnight in Paris exudes both charm and cleverness in equal measure.
2. This comedic masterpiece by one of America's legendary filmmaking geniuses is a fitting companion to "Paris, Je T'Aime" and like a fine wine should be savored by Allen's legion of loyal cinephiles.
3. Ao abordar a insatisfaзгo do protagonista com o presente em funзгo de seu romantismo irrecuperбvel, o veterano diretor garante o sucesso temбtico de Meia-Noite em Paris.
4. 'Midnight in Paris' is rewarding if not fully satisfying and indicates that, now closer to 80 than 70, the writer-director has found peace with life as he finds it.
5. Allen in top form with Midnight in Paris.
6. Woody Allen's most entertaining comedy in years...
7. Paris: C'est magnifique
8. Woody's most inspired comedy in years. Charming, and very enjoyable- even if you're not normally a Woody Allen fan.
9. This isn't a good Woody Allen movie. No, this is one of the great Woody Allen films.
10. Let's face it, Woody Allen makes some bad movies or at least only slightly entertaining movies. He might have been great in the past but that day has long gone.
Consensus: It may not boast the depth of his classic films, but the sweetly sentimental Midnight in Paris is funny and charming enough to satisfy Woody Allen fans.
Q: 1. It's horrifying (and R-rated) if not utterly relentless; it sucks your breath away, perhaps too much.
2. As enveloping as it is darkly cautionary!
3. This well-told and solidly acted story of his rise and fall is not a pretty sight, but, as with a car wreck, it is riveting nevertheless. It is almost impossible to look away.
4. A movie to slit your wrist to.
5. Permanent Midnight offers nothing we haven't seen before.
6. Pick it up for Ben Stiller's sake--a great first dramatic role.
7. Wicked sense of humor!
8. The movie gets credit for not making the high life seem colorful or funny.
9. Rollicking! A high-energy adaptation!
10. Witty!
