The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"The film's first half has zero to do with its title, and its second half digs up familiar turf." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"The ugly truth about The Ugly Truth is the fact that -- funny though it is -- it could have been a whole lot funnier." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato |
Ulee's Gold (1997) |
"Another of those quiet and affecting films from resolutely independent filmmaker Victor Nuņez." |
Jeff Millar |

Ultimate X: The Movie (2002) |
"For a film about action, Ultimate X is the gabbiest giant-screen movie ever, bogging down in a barrage of hype." |

Unbreakable (2000) |
"Shyamalan made the unfortunate but predictable choice of trying to bottle The Sixth Sense's lightning and reuse it." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"It's hard even to describe the movie without making it sound trite. Rather, by showing behavior, the film gets at the emotional truth that underlies it." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato A- |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"A touching story that includes large helpings of humor and charm." |

Underground (1995) |
"The film can be both frenetic and strained. But it also has has a great deal of power and can be quite haunting." |
Jeff Millar |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undertow (2004) |
"From its opening lines and first enigmatic image, everything about Undertow is both dreamlike and real, artfully elusive and matter-of-fact." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato A- |
Underworld (2003) |
"A vampire film for the new millennium -- bold, galvanizing and darkly stylish." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato B+ |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Undisputed may be the best hip-hop prison boxing movie ever, though I'm hard-pressed to name another one." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato B |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"An adult film about the hard choices adults have to make." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Unforeseen (2007) |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
United 93 (2006) |
"Greengrass' own formidable version brings [the story of United Airlines Flight 93] to life -- and to death -- with a bluntness and nobility that are almost too hard to bear." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat C+ |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"A sidetracking subplot about Madison's adulterous fling with a co-worker goes nowhere; it is one of several unsatisfying, tertiary plot strands." |
|
Splat |
Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) |
"The film fails, utterly, at virtually anything it attempts." |
Jeff Millar |
Splat 2/4 |
Unknown (2006) |
"It's a good gimmick, but still a gimmick, and we're left with more confusion than tension." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato |
Unleashed (2005) |
"An intriguing little action thriller, a half-and-half story divided between sequences of vicious violence and quiet, wryly comic scenes of newfound domesticity." |
David Germain |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
An Unreasonable Man (2007) |
"Every time a belt gets buckled or an airbag inflates, the movie argues, somebody somewhere has Nader to thank for it." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Up and Down (2005) |
