by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]

BATTLESHIP :

“..too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism..”

by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

RUST & BONE :

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
