“..Ultimately, Perrier's Bounty isn't so bold as to challenge its genre..”
by Mark Jenkins [NPR]
“..tiredly..”
by Eric Hynes [Village Voice]
“..this stylistic spinoff of an early Guy Ritchie film is a poor man's "In Bruges" that frantically chases itself in circles..”
by Stephen Holden [NY Times]
3 of 5

“..There's no doubting the energy, but without Colin Farrell's fervour, or any novel spin, it's no more than treading water from this gang..”
by Ian Nathan [Empire Magazine]
2 of 4

“..Perrier's Bounty lacks the true music of narrative drive and originality..”
by Bill Weber [Slant Magazine]
3 of 4

“..Not designed to blend in (can a film in an eccentric mold achieve true eccentricity?) and yet lacking the extra inch to distinguish it from its better-known kin, Perrier's Bounty is content to merely measure up..”
by Michelle Orange [Movieline]
3 of 5

“..Lively and rude..”
by Rich Cline [Shadows on the Wall]
1 of 5

“..It keeps lumbering to a halt, in an attempt to make us care about the central relationships, but the writing never delivers characters who are anything more than unsympathetic caricatures..”
by Christopher Tookey [Daily Mail]
2.5 of 4

“..Irish gangsters, at least in the movies, like to talk..”
by Peter Keough [Boston Phoenix]
3 of 5

“..Enjoyable Irish thriller with a blackly comic edge and strong performances from Murphy and Broadbent but there's never a sense of real danger and it occasionally feels over-familiar..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]

HEMINGWAY & GELLHORN :

“..such moments feel like empty gestures when stacked up against a barrage of biopic cliches..”
by A.A. Dowd [Time Out Chicago]

COWGIRLS N' ANGELS :

“..the characters were picked perfectly, and were just so relatable..”
by OrangeHeroMama [Home of OHM]

THE INTOUCHABLES :

“..it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for a movie that leans so heavily on regressive culture-clash shtick and unimaginative stereotypes..”
by Jon Frosch [The Atlantic]

CHERNOBYL DIARIES :

“..the acting is what you’d expect-on the level of what you’ll find in any crummy horror movie shown on the SyFy network..”
by Frank Swietek [One Guy's Opinion]

MEN IN BLACK 3 :

“..sparing a few jokes and nifty set pieces..”
by John Semley [Slant Magazine]

MIGHTY FINE :

“..the mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy..”
by Nick Schager [Village Voice]

MOONRISE KINGDOM :

“..this meticulous and convincing detail does not add up to realism but - depending on your perspective - to something either much less or much more than that..”
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 Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail]

HYSTERIA :

“..for all of its sexual posturing and potential to be truly saucy and unconventional, Tanya Wexler's "Hysteria" is inoffensively pleasant..”
by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

RUST & BONE :

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
