Face Off (1997) |
"If there has been a major Hollywood release with a higher body count, I don't remember it." |

Tomato B- |
Facing Windows (2003) |
"Thanks to a soulful performance by Giovanna Mezzogiorno, it's also eminently watchable, even as we resist its machinations." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Splat 2/4 |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"When Sedgwick's whirl of liberation turns into addiction, clichés stall the plot." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |
Factotum (2006) |
"Dillon is better now that he's settled into sturdy middle age. He makes more sense; I never got him as a Tiger Beat centerfold." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato B+ |
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"One every American should see." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"The comical part -- the part with the assaulting fauna -- is eccentric, knockabout fun, spattered with outlandish setups and amicably offbeat supporting players who reach out and steal the show." |

Tomato |
Faithless (2001) |
"A powerful movie, with emotional rawness and honesty that have been hallmarks of Bergman's work as much as his incredible egocentricity." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Fall (2008) |
"A bewitching movie, rich in ideas and humanity, and it reminds us that fiction is real to the one who imagines it. Adults might read with detachment, but kids know the truth: It matters who lives and who dies in a story. It matters for them, and for us." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato |
Fallen (1998) |
"If you have an interest in capital-letter Good and Evil, in the abstract-theological sense, Fallen could engross you." |

The Family Man (2000) |
"Ratner probably thought it would be Capra-esque, but, really, it's just boring." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"It plays almost like Terms of Endearment crossed with the feel-good yule romance Love Actually." |

Fantastic Four (2005) |
"[The writers are] so busy setting up the premise that they barely get around to exploiting it." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"In Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, our heroes get what they deserve: a decent action flick with a jolt of visual wow." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Anderson injects such charm and wit, such personality and nostalgia -- evident in the old-school animation, storybook settings and pitch-perfect use of Burl Ives -- that it's easy to forgive his self-conscious touches." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato A- |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Well-written, nicely acted and beautifully shot and scored, the film works on several levels, openly questioning social mores while ensnaring the audience with its emotional pull." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato |
Fargo (1996) |
"Kidnapping, larceny and murder have seldom been funnier than in Fargo." |
Louis B. Parks |
Splat |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"These gear-heads may spout car-talk like know-it-alls, but they sound no less nerdy than trivia-obsessed Trekkers." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Linklater and Schlosser have plenty to say. They just fail to say it cohesively." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato A- |
The Fast Runner (2002) |
"A beautiful, timeless and universal tale of heated passions -- jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness and murder." |

Fateless (2006) |

Fearless (2006) |
"Too often it seems to be just another action fantasy that teaches pacifism while indulging in brutality." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Feast of Love (2007) |
"Director Robert Benton and screenwriter Allison Burnett tell a sobering, adult-geared tale of love's highs, lows and maddening twists and turns." |

Female Perversions (1996) |
"Taken as a whole, this is not a product of the cookie cutter and should be of interest to the adventurous filmgoer." |
Jeff Millar |
Tomato A |
Femme Fatale (2002) |
"Inventive, fun, intoxicatingly sexy, violent, self-indulgent and maddening." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
Festival Express (2004) |

Fever Pitch (2005) |
"At the movie's core is a question that all couples face: How much of one's identity must a person give up in order to make a relationship work? The filmmakers show good marketing sense in balancing the romantic elements with sports." |

"Pitt's best work since A River Runs Through It." |
Jeff Millar |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag (2005) |
"The titular operation often yanks the film from big-screen sensation to a pedantic look at military procedures best suited to a TV documentary." |
Bruce Westbrook |

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"The too-smooth skin, the too-tidy hair, the slightly wooden way the characters move -- all of the elements that nudge them from the realm of the ordinary -- only serve to heighten the sense that everything on screen deserves our utmost attention." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 2/4 |
Find Me Guilty (2006) |
"To the charge of squandering credibility despite being based on a true case: guilty." |
