Q: 1. It's more psychological than a genre movie, and that is the source of both its greatest interest and its biggest problem.
2. Kurosawa's extraordinary direction drizzles a bit of psychological acid on everything, making it seem breath-stoppingly fresh.
3. Once again [Kurosawa] takes on a familiar genre, the murder mystery, but he imbues it with so much angst and psychological juice that it takes on a life of its own.
4. A grave, magnificently creepy thriller.
5. A typically compelling film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
6. A creepy, enigmatic bit of psychological terror that by its final ambiguous scene leaves you truly chilled.
7. This is a movie that leaves one wondering just who it is who has been mesmerized.
8. Cure has a cumulative power of horror which even seasoned filmgoers will not be able to resist.
9. It's one bleak film, and its ending would make Kevin Spacey proud.
10. Too shallow to enthrall, and it lacks the visceral energy to sustain itself as a genre piece.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Mesmerizing and psychologically intriguing.
1. Billy Crystal is hilarious as the fish-out-of-water cowpoke.
2. Nifty drama about the life-changing experiences of some middle-aged men at a working dude ranch.
3. Harmless fluff, but nothing exciting.
4. It goes downhill once Jack Palance exits, but the early scenes are still worth it.
5. One of the flattest cowboy spoofs to mosey on down the trail in a long while.
6. "a pleasing way to polish off two hours"
7. A fun outing, with Jack Palance's Oscar-winning performance the main attraction.
8. Good fun.
9. I found almost nothing funny about this film. Palance's performance saved it.
10. Somehow it never gets old.
Consensus: With a supremely talented cast and just enough midlife drama to add weight to its wildly silly overtones, City Slickers uses universal themes to earn big laughs.
Q: 1. Does [Cook] want to lose the hip, smart 20- and 30-somethings his comedy routines are aimed for and become a sort of second-rate Adam Sandler attracting teenagers who giggle like Beavis and Butt-head at shots of naked women and disgusting jokes about sex?
2. ...there's an opening scene...that's little more than kiddie porn, leaving an ugly tast thereafter.
3. It tries to be a sappy love story, an incredibly vile gross-out comedy and an envelope-pushing soft-core porno movie all at once. It ends up being an unappealing abomination.
4. There's an audience out there for this kind of thing, but if this is what passes for funny, what in the world of comedy doesn't qualify?
5. Cook has a nice comic personality but zilch in the way of comic material. But then, it's not as if any of those teenage boys are going to care about that.
6. Raunchy in the extreme, Good Luck Chuck like its sexually jaded cavity expert, forlorn dentist Charlie, wants it both ways, juxtaposing Alba's lovestruck innocent with Cook's overcooked, reluctantly lusty flesh magnet.
7. Tony-winner Dan Fogler, as Cook's childhood friend, is embarrassingly foul, and even criminally cute Jessica Alba is wasted, playing Cook's painfully clumsy gal pal/penguin nut in this alternately warm and ugly ball of whacks.
8. The makers of this shameful waste of celluloid have padded their work with fat jokes, homophobic jokes, gratuitous nudity and various bodily functions, while harboring a fundamental hatred for women.
9. [A] fetid romantic comedy...In short, if it weren't for bad Luck then the chump Chuck wouldn't have any cinematic luck at all.
10. While only 96 minutes runtime, it felt far longer, prompting me to check the time repeatedly. Not a good thing for a romantic comedy.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A shortage of laughs and an undercurrent of mean-spiritedness undermine Good Luck Chuck, squandering a decent premise on gross-out humor and shopworn slapstick.
1. While some of the thrills are far-fetched, they continue nonstop, avalanche-style. Adrenaline junkies will get their fix -- to the Limit -- others should explore different areas of the cineplex.
2. The physical feats are inspiring, crowd-pleasing testaments to the stupendous extremes of human capabilities.
3. This is a movie that means to keep you involved and, preferably, gasping from start to finish . At that, it certainly does succeed.
4. The pace of the movie rarely flags (neither does the idiocy, alas) and it's enough to warrant a marginal recommendation.
5. Vertical Limit has no plot -- or, rather, just a semblance of a plot.
6. When the characters just shut up and dangle, Vertical Limit becomes one heck of a wild time.
7. One of the most wearisome 'high adrenaline' movies to come along in a while.
8. Certainly a movie in which people are forced to test themselves in unpleasant situations. But the people I have in mind are the people in the audience.
9. But at its worst, Vertical Limit makes you weary with its stock characters and de rigueur explosions, avalanches, collapsing crevices and the like.
10. As completely ludicrous as it is at times, and as absolutely preposterous as it is at other times, it's still hard to hate Vertical Limit.
Consensus: The plot in Vertical Limit is ludicrously contrived and cliched. Meanwhile, the action sequences are so over-the-top and piled one on top of another, they lessen the impact on the viewer.
Q: 1. Nifty in construction and savvy in execution, this is a twisty thriller that's both cannily suspenseful and honestly moving.
2. Call it townie noir.
3. Gordon-Levitt continues to cement his claim as the best young actor of his generation.
4. There are no gratuitous plot twists, no distracting trick shots and no over-the-top performances -- just a good story, told well.
5. has all the right elements of tension, story, a little comic relief, and solid acting that makes it one of those movies you will tell your friends to see.
6. When no one was looking, Gordon-Levitt left behind his child-star sitcom past on 3rd Rock From the Sun, took his money and went off to become the broodiest brooder that ever brooded in mostly independent films.
7. [Frank] has come up with a perfectly entertaining film, a decent diversion, without uncovering anything truly extraordinary.
8. Gordon-Levitt commands sympathy, affection, and understanding, perfectly executing the role without resorting to maudlin or sentimental tactics.
9. Levitt is quickly establishing himself as an actor with serious range and a keen eye for great roles in smaller films.
10. Its relatively modest reach conceals a memorable crime story that refuses to be limited to genre alone.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: The Lookout is a genuinely suspenseful and affecting noir due to the great ensemble cast and their complex, realistic characters.
