question: Exhilarating and intense, this high-impact chase thriller is a model of taut and efficient formula filmmaking, and it features Harrison Ford at his frantic best.

numbered reviews: 1. In a genre where one is almost always asked to allow leaps of logic, the script repeatedly astonished me with its intelligence, its attention to detail and its respect for the audience.
2. If you were expecting subtlety, you should have your head examined, but this money machine works like gangbusters.
3. Frenetically-paced, nail biting action. Rarely do an anti-hero (Tommy Lee Jones) and a hero (Ford) blend with such tense and charismatic perfection.
4. The pacing is terrific and the action always kept on a realistic level, even when it's clearly over the top.
5. As nail-biters go, this one will have you down to the nubs.
6. Both stars have toughness and restraint that make their characters' battle of wits truly hypnotic, and in many ways more credible than it was on television.
7. ...still stands up today as it did eight years ago as the definitive example of how to make a summer movie right (heck; how to make any movie right).
8. Good but overrated. Exciting, but mystery falls short. Bad guy comes out of nowhere.
9. This swiftly paced who-dunnit is about as good as Hollywood action-thrillers get.
10. Not only did they get their smarts by casting Harrison Ford and the engimatic Tommy Lee Jones, they wrote a script (screenplay by Jeb Stuart and David Twohy) that was filled with tension, sprinkled with suspense, choca-bloc with action, and for the most p


question: A complex portrait of an immigrant family, The Secret of the Grain is a sprawling, intimate film with many fine performances.

numbered reviews: 1. Kechiche projects onto the viewer an immigrant population's impatient longing for liberty, equality and success, concocting a dish that is no more bitter or half-baked than cultural exile itself.
2. ...a boisterous, sprawling affair with time outs for small intimacies and a last act that defies expectations.
3. The Secret of the Grain is crowd-pleasing in the sense that the story and characters are easy to identify with...belongs somewhere between the arthouse and the multiplex.
4. A year of uncommonly strong French releases hits its peak with Abdellatif Kechiche's richly entertaining and complex humanistic saga about an extended French-Arab family in the south of France.
5. After two and a half hours, The Secret of the Grain, ends, as arbitrarily as it began.
6. [A] captivating film.
7. Give some patience to The Secret of the Grain and the rewards are there for the reaping.
8. The film manages to be both an homage to women and a heartbreaking cultural commentary, and it's intense.
9. Wonderfully directed, beautifully acted and thoroughly engaging drama that's so naturalistic that you often feel you're watching a documentary.
10. This is both fascinating domestic melodrama and damning indictment of the intolerance that can exist across all sections of society.


question: An infectiously fun blend of special effects and comedy, with Bill Murray's hilarious deadpan performance leading a cast of great comic turns.

numbered reviews: 1. Thirty years on, bustin' still makes us feel good. In fact, few movies have the power to make us feel good-er.
2. Essentially a $30 million version of Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy but not at all a bad time, thanks mainly to Bill Murray's incredibly dry line readings and director Ivan Reitman's maintenance of a moderately coherent tone and plotline.
3. Only intermittently impressive.
4. With his deadpan delivery and snide quips, Murray more than holds his own amid the myriad state-of-the-art special effects.
5. One of a kind super comedy of ghosts & special effects
6. This movie is an exception to the general rule that big special effects can wreck a comedy.
7. Dan Aykroyd's inventive comedy concept for Ghostbusters attracted an all-star comedy team to bust out an classic of mainstream '80s cinema.
8. The perfect marriage of big-budget sci-fi spectacle and character-based comedy schtick.
9. Everyone's at the top of their game for this one. Even Ernie Hudson has never been this good since.
10. classic comedy


question: This good old-fashioned Norwegian WW2 film has impressive set pieces and never suffers for a lack of suspense.

numbered reviews:
1. It's a cracking yarn rippingly told. If it's havoc you want wreaked on Hitler's goosestepping invaders, then take it to the Max.
2. If there's nothing distinctly 'Norwegian' about the way that Max Manus is filmed, it's still an enjoyable and illuminating action adventure.
3. An entertaining, old-school war thriller.
4. So this overdue homage to Max Manus: Man of War is a powerful surprise.
5. It's perhaps a little too polite at times, but Rřnning and Sandberg's well-crafted picture does a good job of celebrating a man whose endeavours ought to be recognised by all of the Allied powers.
6. Though not without its moments, this latest tale of wartime derring-do rarely dares to enter uncharted territory.
7. A stirring tribute to the wartime sacrifices made in the name of a just cause.
8. It's lively, sturdily mounted, just ever so slightly jejune.
9. It's meticulously researched as regards period detail, and the whole thing is full of excitement and suspense.
10. Bandidas directors Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg employ impressive production values and a blockbuster sensibility here, nailing the suspense.
