Splat
2/5

G-Force (2009)

"Maybe for today’s computer-gaming sprogs, speed, violence and animation (in all senses) are enough."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

"There is an inertia born of ceaseless, stupefying animation."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Gandhi, My Father (2007)

"A long-distance trek with refreshment breaks."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Genova (2008)

"Join up the dots in Michael Winterbottom’s new film and you get the outline of a shaggy dog. But if Genova meanders, it has an ensorcelling, even zodiacal charm."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Get Smart (2008)

"The film is about as funny as a 3am cold call, and if you are a critic you cannot slam down the phone before you have heard it out."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Ghost Town (2008)

"It is so nearly a ghost-themed remake of Groundhog Day that you can’t help but think how much more interesting it would have been reworked by Harold Ramis with Bill Murray in the lead role."

Karl French

Tomato
3/5

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

"The film cuddles its Dickensian soft centre in a Mills & Boon soft casing. Où sont les wisecracks d’antan? Almost extinct."

Martin Hoyle

Splat

Gigantic (2008)

"The film obviously got a grant from Cool Aid, the endowment fund targeted at US filmmakers with nothing to say but a million airheaded ways to say it."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

A Girl Cut in Two (2008)

"By the time the story springs to life and becomes the thriller, of sorts, that it seems set up to be, we have had to sit through 90-odd minutes of turgid melodrama."

Karl French

Tomato

The Girl in the Park (2007)

"Weaver’s still unresolved grief, subtly hits every note that Changeling plinked or plonked like a honky-tonk hokum artist."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

The Girlfriend Experience (2009)

"Human feeling dares to outstare, for a mini-moment, the world of accounting, commodification, ecstasy-management."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Glorious 39 (2009)

"Stephen Poliakoff performs his usual routine of conjuring an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue for the first hour and failing to fulfil it in the second."

Leo Robson

Splat

The Golden Compass (2007)

"Almost nothing remains at the end – not a glimmer of mystical inquisition, not a teasing loose-end of space-time speculation – to lure a Pullmanite towards a sequel."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Gomorrah (2009)

"The remorseless, glamourless scenes – their businesslike realism, their shrugging fatalism, their workaday brutality – come closer than most films to identifying and depicting the “banality of evil”."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)

"Thompson must be looking down, or up, from his afterworld thinking: “The worst success is a failure to keep alive the spirit of offendedness and outrage.”"

Nigel Andrews

Splat
1/5

Good (2008)

"It may have been a good stage play: people say it was. But its author, the late C.P. Taylor, was not around to stop it becoming a lousy film."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Good Dick (2008)

"In spite of a title, and much dialogue, likely to send Aunt Edna into convulsions, Good Dick is the week’s best film."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Goodbye Solo (2009)

"The raptures that greeted Ramin Bahrani’s Goodbye Solo at festivals last year are wholly deserved."

Tomato
3/5

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009)

"The film is randy and rough-hewn even by the standards of its genre. I could claim to have found it tasteless and mirthless, but that would be a lie."

Leo Robson

Tomato

Gran Torino (2008)

"Game, set and match. We barely see the ball pass us before it hits the baseline, but Gran Torino has proved itself another effortless Eastwood Grand Slam victory."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

Greek Pete (2009)

"Greek Pete proves what we had long suspected. Life imitates Mike Leigh films, at least in Britain. So do many aspiring filmmakers when trying to look with wit and forlorn truthfulness at the reality of Britain"

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

The Grocer's Son (2008)

"In its slow-moving, at times uncomfortable way, this is a heartwarming film."

Karl French

Tomato

Gun Crazy (1949)

"Like all great films noirs, this 1949 lovers-on-the-run thriller, directed by cultists’ darling Joseph H. Lewis (The Big Combo), is lean, mean and delirious."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Gypsy Caravan (2006)

"Gypsy Caravan – When the Road Bends evokes the US tour of Roma musicians whose astonishing diversity ranges from the Indian group with their bejewelled drag dancer to oompah-based Romanians."

Martin Hoyle
