Ultraviolet (2006) |

Tomato |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"I could pick apart the simplicities and unlikelinesses and inconsistencies of the overall tale, but that will never trump the enormous lump in my throat I was left with by the film’s end." |

Underclassman (2005) |
"[H]ow does [Cannon] get money to write, produce, and star in a movie that’s all about how hilarious he is? This is a particular puzzle because he is not funny in the least." |

Underworld (2003) |
"[An] all-style, little-substance barrage of hand-to-hand combat and gun battles that play like a first-person-shooter video game." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Splat |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Gives us the option of choosing to root for either a vicious, unrepentant murderer or a vicious, unrepentant rapist." |

Unfaithful (2002) |

Unknown White Male (2005) |
"[I]f the tale of Doug Bruce -- who woke up on a New York City subway train one day in 2003 and had no idea who he was, or where he was -- is not true, someone would have invented it anyway. It's that... pertinent." |
MaryAnn Johanson |
Tomato |
Unleashed (2005) |
"[A] modern fairy tale with a power to speak to our most elemental fears... one with a power to haunt our dreams and nightmares..." |
