When did this get retitled The FIRST Great Train Robbery?

Note to film world: Please stop hiring Stephen Dorf.

A major, major, disappointment.

Finally saw this for the first time. A lot more violent and trashy than I expected, which was great. Really well written, especially in the police dialogue. Oh, and the car chase lives up to the hype.

Started out intriguing but ends up a mess. Browning is quite good though, for what she's been given to work with. If anyone can explain the ending, I'd love to hear it.

Way better than people are giving it credit for. An action film that slowly eliminates action. If I can find the time I hope to write a review for my blog.

I'd be willing to go 2.5.

A huge, huge problem. This film needs to be seen.

The most uncompromising film I've ever seen. Instantly becomes one of my favorites.

My reaction to the Swedish version was that it felt like a second rate Fincher film, so I guess here's the first rate Fincher version? It's good enough I suppose. I wish they had just moved it to America. Insisting that it still be set in Switzerland made for a lot of missing accents and a lot of accents that come in and out (Robin Wright's was the worst). Mara is good, at least as good as Repace was in the original. Craig is an absolute bore. I beginning to suspect that he's only suited to playing Bond; my other most recent non-Bond experience with him, in Cowboys and Aliens, was even worse. I would like to give Fincher a big kiss for knowing what a tri-pod is in a Hollywood climate that seems to have not the faintest clue what terms like mise-en-scene and blocking are.

Very good, despite Knightley's attempts to sink it. Fassbender and Mortensen are both excellent though, and Cronenberg is at his cool, controlled best. It's also pretty damn funny, particularly in how it portrays Freud reacting to Jung.

Emotional exploitation...blah blah blah... Catholic Guilt...blah blah blah...pretty pictures...blah blah blah...rampant misogyny...blah blah blah...scissored clit...blah blah blah...grow up von Trier!

Welcome back Terry.

I can't decide if Barry Lyndon or The Beastmaster is his greatest achievement.

Dude, it's fucking COMMANDO!

The best of Dahl's neo-noirs, and one of the best in the cycle over all.

You broke my heart Al.

I'll give it an extra half star for some good cinematography and for having Tom Waits in a small role. Otherwise, it's pretty thin. Clearly the Hughes Brothers weren't really interested in exploring the ideas that they bring up. Instead, they settle for a pastiche of westerns and comic book films. To bad, there could have been a good movie here, the premise had lots of potential.

Some great acting isn't quite enough to make up for the obvious, uninspired ending.

If for some reason you don't have access to the 1951 classic, or John Carpenter's version, OR the X-Files episode "Ice," you should still skip this. It's awful.

Barely gets a third star. Mostly for Michael Shannon's quietly powerful performance.

I always want Carpenter to hit one out of the park. It's been since 1994 that he's made a really good film. This one at least works. It's not going to scare out of your seat but it does provide a few startling moments, which is tough enough in this horror saturated movie climate. It's no masterpiece, and I doubt that many people will be surprised by it's twists, but it's a solid return to form for an iconic director who hasn't made a feature in over a decade.

Ultimately sad film about media manipulation and the selfishness inherent in politics.

Master. Piece.

Some of it was a bit obvious, mostly the stuff having to do with Sacha Baron Cohen's character, but it's very charming. The theme of film's deterioration and the need to preserve it is right in line with Scorsese's passions. 3.5 stars.

Rape/revenge movie billed as an unofficial sequel to The Last House on the Left. Just as depraved as that film but done with more technical skill, which just makes the whole thing more uncomfortable (which it should be). The transformation of an early victim into an assailant is the most disturbing aspect.

Some good acting but rather predictable. Clooney has developed a calm, unflashy directing style that suits the material.

The longest hand job Spielberg's ever had.

The first half is really intense, as the virus spreads and everyone runs around trying to catch up. Second half, not so much. Still, better than most Hollywood films of late.

I'd go 3 1/2 stars actually. Really creepy, underrated Carpenter.
