Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
