Macao (1952) |
"...a slow-paced, thoroughly dull piece of work..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Machinist (2004) |

David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |

David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
The Magic Sword (1961) |
"Heavy on laughable special effects and outrageously broad performances..." |
David Nusair |

David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Malevolence (2004) |
"...certain sections of Malevolence are far more engaging than others, with most of the second act a complete write-off." |

"...the film manages to confound on virtually every level..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |

"...slightly better than some of the other recent action/thrillers that have hit theaters." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"...remains virtually intolerable throughout its overlong running time due primarily to star Robin Williams' relentless mugging and writer/director Barry Levinson's inordinately mediocre screenplay." |

Man on Fire (2004) |
"Man on Fire is the film The Punisher should've been." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"...unappealing and flat-out annoying." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
