U-571 (2000)

"Represents the return of something that I'd feared was gone for good: the inspired genre magician."

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)

"The U.S. vs. John Lennon is the easy-listening version of a firebrand documentary; nothing in it is as incendiary as its title."

The Ugly Truth (2009)

"The Ugly Truth isn't fizzy and fun -- it's vacuously snappy."

The Ultimate Gift (2007)

"The Ultimate Gift is kind of like a feel-good Saw for churchgoers, minus the sadistic games of death."

Unaccompanied Minors (2006)

"Anyone old enough to go see this without a parent or guardian will have seen it all before."

Unbreakable (2000)

"By the time the film is over you may feel as if the 12 year old inside of you has been utterly wowed and that the adult is still going, 'Hmmmm...'"

Undead (2005)

"It's about as much fun as watching blood dry."

Under the Same Moon (2008)

"Before you can say, 'Wow, that sounds boring,' director Patricia Riggen has smuggled us, with no-bull authority, into the rituals, jokes, and survival games of a culture of half-existence: people who live in two places and nowhere at all."

Under the Sea 3D (2009)

"It's impossible not to be wowed by some of the images in Under the Sea 3D, 
the coolest of which are a nice 
reminder that, even in the age of CG wizardry, the best special effects still come straight from Mother Nature."

Underclassman (2005)

"Like a student project sloppily cribbed from other kids' notes."

Underdog (2007)

"The endearing airborne-beagle effects help to offset the formula twists."

Underworld (2003)

"The sort of movie in which the head vampire telegraphs his evil by using a cell phone and dressing like the Kinks' Ray Davies in the early '80s."

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

"Sheen and Nighy do their best with the material, but this is easily the worst Underworld so far."

Undisputed (2002)

"A shrewd and splendidly volatile B movie structured around a highly original gambit of suspense."

Unfaithfully Yours (1984)

The Unforeseen (2007)

"Add The Unforeseen to the catalog of artfully produced nonfiction films that show how humans are screwing up the planet."

The Uninvited (2009)

"Horror standbys like mangled corpses and stone-faced children pop up regularly, but sibling directors Charles and Thomas Guard haven't quite nailed the genre's rhythms."

United 93 (2006)

"[Paul Greengrass] keeps a cataclysmic story scaled to the vulnerable men and women involved."

Unknown White Male (2005)

"Unknown White Male is framed as a look at the mystery of identity, but there's a bizarre neutrality to the movie."

Unleashed (2005)

"[Has] three or four gangbusters action sequences, all of which are unexpectedly stomach-clenching."

An Unreasonable Man (2007)

"A perceptive and beautifully made documentary portrait of Nader."

Up and Down (2005)

"Captures Prague life with a fervor that's comical but a longing that's serious; no one is easy to pigeonhole."
