Tomato 3/5 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"There are decent special effects, and Johnson can play it tough while also being a kid-friendly presence." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Packed with wry humour, decent performances and with a deep understanding of what makes our relatives so wonderful and exasperating at the same time." |

Ratatouille (2007) |
"Amazingly, Pixar just got better, raising the bar into the ether with Ratatouille." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Reader (2008) |
"The Reader is a thoughtful and absorbing film, which is packed with delicately-structured twists and punctuated with truly impressive performances." |
Mark Adams |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"With a touch of X Files, a smattering of The Omen and perhaps a little too much hokiness, it’s all agreeably daft fun." |
Jonathan Ross |

Splat 2/5 |
Red Road (2007) |
"What we have here is one of those very long, very slow dramas that might just have worked if the inevitable twist ending had been worth sticking around for. But it isn’t." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Redacted (2007) |
"Feels contrived and serves to highlight the limitations of the no-name cast." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Redacted (2007) |
"The way De Palma stitches this multimedia montage into a damning narrative is cinema at its angry and exhilarating best." |

Religulous (2008) |
"It's not an exploration, it's a smart-arse going into situations just to confirm his own prejudices." |
David Edwards |
Splat 3/5 |
Renaissance (2006) |
"Just like Pixar's latest, the good looks are let down by a weak plot." |
David Edwards |
Splat |
Rendition (2007) |
"Rendition’s beef with the injustices of the US Patriot Act would have had a lot more power a couple of years ago." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Reno 911!: Miami (2007) |
"There are some laughs here and there, but with some very long gaps in between." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"While you have to admire Bale’s dedication – he looks like a human skeleton – the film slows to a crawl in the middle as Dengler attempts to survive life in prison. Proceedings may pick up in the last half hour, but getting there proves to be an endurance" |
|
Splat |
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) |
"Those zombies are back on the march in the third instalment of the horror-action series that plays like a rip-off of George A Romero’s Day Of The Dead, only with a much lower IQ." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Reverb (2008) |
"The horror dial's turned down to mute in a British fright flick about a dead rock star haunting a recording studio. While there's the germ of a good idea here, the execution is just terrible." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Revolutionary Road (2008) |
"It’s as if someone’s taken the American Dream, lashed it to a table and cut it open to see how it works. An uncomfortable process, to be sure, but an awfully compelling one, too." |
David Edwards |
Splat 1/5 |
Revolver (2007) |
"It’s long been said that films have the power to inspire violence in the viewing public. Revolver is one such movie -- a piece of work guaranteed to send you into a violent frenzy." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Right at Your Door (2007) |
"Movies about moral choices work if we can relate to the characters’ motivations, but that never happens here." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Righteous Kill (2008) |
"This one’s no Heat. More a pan of thin gruel brought to simmer." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Rise of the Footsoldier (2007) |
"Fans of British geezer films would be better off checking out I.D. – this is best enjoyed after a night at the pub on DVD." |

Splat 2/5 |
RocknRolla (2008) |
"RocknRolla is two hours of more of the same, accompanied by the usual soundtrack of mockney accents and gunfire. Listen closely and you may also hear the sound of time being called." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Role Models (2008) |
"While better than it should be, if you listen hard enough you can actually hear a barrel being scraped between the gags." |
David Edwards |
Splat |
The Rules of Attraction (2002) |
"You can happily give this a miss." |
Jonathan Ross |
Splat |
Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008) |
"You’ll laugh a bit, but not much, while your interest in the storyline will hover between mild interest and vague indifference. Needless to say, all memories of this movie will evaporate on contact with daylight." |

Rush Hour 3 (2007) |
"Depressingly, the legendary Max von Sydow and Roman Polanski pop up in small parts. They must have been desperate for the cash. My advice is to save yours." |
