Final Destination 5 Reviews

Movie Reviews

• they're bad, but not just bad. They are elaborate and obliterating and unsettling and extremely funny, so that audiences end up laughing, yelling and gasping at the same time

  by Mick LaSalle [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• the films offer up black comedy, provoking laughs at wrong guesses and giggles over an absurd chain of events that results in disaster

  by Kirk Honeycutt [Hollywood Reporter ]

• the cheap thrills wear off way fast, and we're left with atrocious acting, feeble writing and clueless directing

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• occasionally generates that kind of frisson, but it never goes bone-deep

  by Kat Murphy [MSN Movies ]

• it's the best Final Destination sequel - if you gauge success by overall shock value

  by Tirdad Derakhshani [Philadelphia Inquirer ]

• it's a slack but competently executed film of a script with butterknife-dull dialogue and actors cast because of their "type"

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• it adds a touch of humor and even offers a few knowing winks to previous installments

  by Scott Bowles [USA Today ]

• a new wrinkle in how the killings spool out actually makes the film even more predictable

  by Mike Hale [NY Times ]

• "FD 5" did not raise even a single goose bump - which for a movie that bills itself as horror is not a good thing

  by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times ]
