SAFE HOUSE :

“..together, Washington and Reynolds make a watchable team - and make the occasionally exciting "Safe House" more watchable than it deserves to be..”
by Marshall Fine [Hollywood & Fine]

JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND :

“..this affable adventure is in on the joke..”
by Nick De Semlyen [Empire Magazine]

THE VOW :

“..every composition and cut is made with its calculated effect readily evident..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

IN DARKNESS :

THE INNKEEPERS :

“..a brilliantly plotted piece of location-centric, minimalist horror..”

BIG MIRACLE :

“..your heart will also go out to the cast, stuck even more pitiably in syrupy manufactured crises..”
by Melissa Anderson [Village Voice]

W.E. :

“..watch W.E. as if flipping through a stack of glossy mags with a pal, oohing and aahing about stuff without caring a fiddle-dee-dee about substance..”
by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly]

THE WOMAN IN BLACK :

“..the final reveal is treacly and sentimental, but will probably go down well with viewers inclined toward spiritualist claptrap..”
by Leslie Felperin [Variety]
