A dénouement aching with ambiguity
The scandal of the sex-slave market pops up on the news long enough to titillate, but who wants to go into depressing and complex details?
And they don't go anywhere
Nonetheless, certain images, like two people in a tub playing the 1812 Overture on trumpets, are worth the visit.
Isolation in the swollen seas
The challenge: sail around the world single-handed without stopping, 33,000 miles and 10 months of solitude, waves, and horizon.
The dumber the better
Despite the stilted dialogue, the porn-star-quality acting, and the incoherent stitching together of action sequences, War does stir some interest.
Ineptitude and idiocy

An uncalled-for sequel

A shrill disappointment
The rich may be different from you and me, but they’re probably not much like the grotesque stereotypes in this adaptation of the glib bestseller.
Global warming made boring
Remember the “myth” of global warming?
Miraculous things with an amateur cast
Bahman Ghobadi’s new feature returns to the severe locale of many of his acclaimed earlier movies.
Gritty enough
The maudlin turns near the final bell mute Champ’s resonance.
Chris Gorak's got a point
Sometimes the government response to terrorism is worse than the terrorism itself.
A descent into caricatures
The violence, when it comes, is shot in slow, luxuriant detail that feels almost pornographic.
