question: Finding the human story amidst the action, director Duncan Jones and charming Jake Gyllenhaal craft a smart, satisfying sci-fi thriller.

numbered reviews: 1. An exciting and thoughtfully constructed sci-fi thriller.
2. The star here is Jones, who manages to paper over most of the holes in Ben Ripley's script with pure adrenaline and keep us guessing - and enthralled - all the while.
3. Give credit to the dashing and romantic Gyllenhaal for keeping this effort (mostly) on track.
4. It'll make your brain hurt (in a good way) trying to determine whether it all makes sense -- until it quite obviously and frustratingly doesn't make sense anymore.
5. A slick, cerebral and - most of all - dull as hell sci-fi calamity. As far as excitement is concerned, this is like pitching your parasol on the banks of the Sea Of Tranquillity.
6. Gripping for the duration, and pacier than you might expect from a film where the same eight minutes play out repeatedly...
7. Source Code deliciously bites off more than it can chew. It is a science fiction thriller foremost, but runs a wide gamut of human emotion.
8. Part of the fun of Duncan Jones's frequently clever sci-fi thriller is being as in-the-dark as the film's protagonist.
9. You know a movie is amazing when you don't want to get up to use the restroom in fear that you'll miss a single frame. I just wish it ended five minutes earlier.
10. Whether you are a fan of science fiction or not, this is a great movie and is - ironically - the best offering in the genre since director Duncan Jones' 2009 masterpiece Moon.


question: Ebouaney's fiery performance makes Lumumba compelling.

numbered reviews: 1. Framed by the shameless burning of Congo's national hero with only a smidgen of kootchi-coo family sentimentality, Lumumba richly deserves its Best Picture award at the 2001 Pan African Film Festival.
2. Utterly absorbing.
3. A tellingly discouraging testament to the inherently complicated and manipulative workings of a formerly subjugated culture not fully freed from its oppressors.
4. For better and worse, Peck is no Oliver Stone nor even a Spike Lee, another director who can make a mountain of a film out of a molehill of suspicions.
5. Serves as a gut-wrenching requiem for the hope of peace and prosperity in post-colonial Africa.
6. The visceral force of Lumumba is a sober reminder that there's nothing more incendiary than the reopening of a forgotten chapter of history.
7. Both compelling and occasionally bewildering.
8. A powerfully rich and incredibly sorrowful portrait.
9. Peck's subject and lead actor elevate his film above its mediocre production.
10. Eclipse any political film Oliver Stone has made in quite a while.


question: More than a movie star murder mystery, Hollywoodland takes it slow in order to reveal the intriguing details of the rise and fall of superstar fame.

numbered reviews: 1. Like Ben from Bennifer, George Reeves aspired to be a Great Actor, but was weighed down by audience expectations. Affleck does a terrific job with this role.
2. Tentando evocar a mesma atmosfera sufocante de Los Angeles %u2013 Cidade Proibida, surge como pбlida (literalmente) imitaзгo do excepcional trabalho de Curtis Hanson.
3. Middle-aged angst - and not the mystery of Reeves' unsolved death - lies at the heart of Hollywoodland.
4. It's Affleck's ghost of film future. Watch his hurt-glazed eyes as he sits in the screening of From Here to Eternity while all around him people laugh at 'Superman' pretending to be someone else.
5. It's worth seeing for Affleck alone, deftly communicating the distance between the put-on cardboard debonairness of this hunk-about-town and the gnawing uncertainties beneath his Superman outfit.
6. Outside of the novelty of seeing Ben Affleck assaying a dramatic role, there isn't much in Hollywoodland to keep us hooked.
7. It is not just that people die in the film, its the way their souls get mauled while they are still alive.
8. Stark, probing and beautifully crafted, Hollywoodland is a slow-burning mystery/thriller that intriguingly jumps along with each suspenseful frame.
9. Despite a stellar cast, Coulter and screenwriter Paul Bernbaum can’t decide whether to plumb the depths of 'noir' or tug at the heartstrings of failed ambition.
10. Starts with artful delusions before dribbling into nothingness


question: Fearless is a brilliantly choreographed, beautifully filmed endcap to Li's quarter decade of epic martial arts glory.

numbered reviews:
1. It does, however, have two things going for it: outstanding punch-ups and Jet Li.
2. Jet Li is a formidable talent and has plenty of charisma, but it's the rest of the cast (or most of them) whose performances are stilted...no shortage of martial arts action in a variety of extended contest scenes
3. The Terminator flicks also favored world peace but didn't pause the action for nearly an hour to rub it in.
4. Serves as a rousing, philosophically high-minded reminder of the actor's glory days.
5. has lofty ambitions but lacks the necessary talent.
6. Touted as his last foray into martial-arts movies, Fearless finds Jet Li bowing out with a stunner.
7. Not only is it a gripping, beautifully acted drama, but the action scenes are jaw-dropping.
8. Significantly, the movie breaks the standard revenge model of the martial arts film genre to embrace the grace and restraint that underlines the philosophy of wushu (the comprehensive term for martial arts that means 'avert fighting' or 'stop war').
9. Fearless is a rather conventional costume biopicbiopic that still manages to pack a satisfying emotional punch by its final reel.
10. A grandiose spectacle that will remind any martial arts fan why they love the genre so much.
