Tomato 4/5 |
O (2001) |
"This is definitely worth watching, thanks to the performances and Nelson's direction." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
O'Horten (2009) |
"Enjoyable Norwegian comedy-drama with gorgeous photography, a pleasingly quirky script and a great performance from Bard Owe." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Observe and Report (2009) |
"Observe and Report desperately wants to be Bad Santa, but its handful of decent moments fail to compensate for a wildly uneven tone, several badly misjudged scenes and the fact that the film just simply isn't funny." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Obsessed (2009) |
"Enjoyably rubbish thriller enlivened by strong performances and a decent climax that just about compensates for the film's failures in pacing and plotting." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"Stylish remake of an iconic-if-not-very-good original film, with a to-die-for cast, a great soundtrack and healthy measure of 'cool' -- it drags in places but is fun to watch." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Better than the disastrous sequel." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"Badly thought-out sequel with an appalling script and several half-hearted performances - you'll have more fun watching the original again." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Of Time and the City (2009) |
"Engaging, heartfelt and impeccably directed, this is an achingly personal documentary that packs a powerful emotional punch." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Old Joy (2006) |
"Daniel London's slightly pained facial expressions say more about the stresses of impending fatherhood in two minutes than the likes of The Last Kiss manage in two hours." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Old School (2003) |
"Redeemed by good comic performances from its oddly-matched central trio." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Oliver Twist (2005) |
"There's also strong support from Harry Eden, as well as Leanne Rowe as the archetypal tart-with-a-heart Nancy, whilst Jamie Foreman (nasty pieces of work a specialty) adds another great performance to his rogue's gallery of Cockney villains." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
The Omen (2006) |
"Ultimately, The Omen is both poorly directed and badly acted and Moore ensuring that there's plenty of red in every scene isn't enough to make it scary. Rent the original instead." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
On A Clear Day (2006) |
"The film is extremely well cast - Peter Mullan probably has "Grumpy bastards a speciality" emblazoned at the top of his CV and he's on top form here as Frank" |

One Hour Photo (2002) |
"Oddly-moving, slow-burning thriller with a career-best performance from Robin Williams. Yes, that’s right. Robin Williams." |

One Missed Call (2008) |
"Poorly conceived, badly cast and frequently dull horror film that fails in its quest to make mobile phones scary." |

Ong Bak 2 (2009) |
"This is likely to disappoint fans of the original film, but the impressive fight scenes ensure that it remains watchable." |

Open Water 2: Adrift (2006) |
"Adrift has its moments but it's a frustrating film in many ways and doesn't really work as a thriller unless you're a confirmed hydrophobic. If people meeting unfortunate watery ends is your thing then rent Open Water instead." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Orange County (2002) |
"Though there are no real belly laughs or any Farrelly-like set pieces, this is still a better than average comedy, thanks to its witty script and its amusing collection of characters." |
Matthew Turner |

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008) |
"Beautifully made, superbly written and frequently hilarious comedy that plays like a French version of Get Smart (the original series), with a terrific comic performance from Jean Dujardin." |

Outlander (2009) |
"Vikings vs aliens - what's not to love? This delivers pretty much everything you could hope for from a movie whose premise basically boils down to Vikings fighting aliens." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Outlaw (2007) |
"Potentially interesting premise and some good performances, but it quickly falls apart." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Over Her Dead Body (2008) |
"Disappointing comedy that struggles to overcome the combination of unlikeable characters, a poorly judged, largely unfunny script and a distinct lack of chemistry between the leads." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Over the Hedge (2006) |
"Brightly animated, frequently hilarious and perfectly cast comedy from the Dreamworks stable - the best of the recent animal-themed cartoon features." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Overnight (2004) |
"The two directors take so much abuse from Duffy throughout the film that you can’t help but feel that Overnight is their long-overdue revenge." |
