U-571 (2000)

Tomato

U-Turn (1997)

"Stone has stretched this rubber band past the point where it should snap into parody, but it still holds the shape of a rubber band."

Jeff Millar

U.S. Marshals (1998)

Splat
2/4

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

Splat
C-

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."

Bruce Westbrook

Splat

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."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
A-

Undercover Brother (2002)

"Every broad stereotype and discomfiting joke carries the sting of truth."

Eric Harrison

Tomato

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)

"By turns rapturously beautiful and unspeakably sad while considering the consequences of unchecked urban sprawl."

Joe Leydon

Unhook the Stars (1997)

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)

"Its emotional tone may be up and down, but its clear-headed approach has straightforward snap."

Bruce Westbrook

Up in the Air (2009)

"Once again, Reitman the screenwriter gives Reitman the director an excuse to ponder the spaces between us and the ties that bind. Or don't."

Amy Biancolli

The Upside of Anger (2005)

Splat
C-

Uptown Girls (2003)

"Though Murphy is radiant, and her laughs are infectious, her free-spiritedness is thrust in our face like a pointy object in a 3-D movie."

Bruce Westbrook

Splat
D

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)

"What ensues is painfully horrific and reprehensible as entertainment."

Bruce Westbrook

Ushpizin (2005)
