U-571 (2000) |
"So very few films live up to that kind of exaggerated billing. The claustrophobic submarine drama, U-571, happens to be one of them." |
John Paul Powell |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
U-Carmen (2007) |
"[Dornford-May] and his cast take the familiar strains of one of the world's best-known works of opera and, by blending it with the sights and ambient sounds of South Africa, transform it into something that is both as old as pain and as new as hope." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"However successful it is in making its point, The U.S. vs. John Lennon works best as doughy comfort food for Boomers, with input and music from practically everybody whose name was ever associated with the Vietnam era." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 5/5 |
U2 3D (2008) |
"U2 3D is no less than an electrifying, immersive marvel of music, showmanship and spectacle." |
Kevin Williamson |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"The Ugly Truth isn't really as truthful as it thinks, and its "brave" pushing of the envelope of taste isn't even as transgressive as your typical HBO series." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 1/5 |
Ultraviolet (2006) |
"Anyway, we went to Ultraviolet so you won’t have to. It was awful. Next time you go, okay?" |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) |
"Easily one of the most romantic stories captured on celluloid." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Un Air de Famille (1996) |
"There is something compelling about watching a slice-of-life saga that is so well acted." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 1/5 |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"It's the sort of movie that shortens your life and makes you doubt the existence of God." |
Liz Braun |

Unbreakable (2000) |
"Begins with so much promise and ends with such frustrating results." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"The power of the mother-son bond is given tender-hearted treatment in Under The Same Moon, an impressive first feature from Mexican filmmaker Patricia Riggen." |
Jane Stevenson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"Under The Sand is vaguely disturbing, in an emotional sense, at all times." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3/5 |
Under the Sea 3D (2009) |
"Younger children will be engrossed. Older ones may get bored." |
Jim Slotek |

Under the Skin (1997) |

Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"The performances are terrific, especially the wonderful Lane, who deftly conveys weariness, desperation, vulnerability and sexiness at various turns." |
Derek Tse |
Tomato 4/5 |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"[Lane] makes every moment of it immediate, inescapable and unforgettable." |

Underclassman (2005) |

Undercover Brother (2002) |
"One of the smarter genre spoofs in years." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 2/5 |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"There are some hilarious bits in Undercover Brother, but there are far more which are flat, dull and crass." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 2/5 |
Underdog (2007) |
"Cuteness can't carry an entire movie, and Underdog is short of actual funny stuff and affecting performances, to the extent that this Disney movie comes off like a Disney made-for-TV movie." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 4/5 |
Underground (1995) |
"One of the most ribald, risky and madcap war movies ever filmed." |

Undertow (2004) |
"Visually gritty and blessed with an astonishing score from Philip Glass, Undertow will make you very uncomfortable." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 4/5 |
Underworld (2003) |
"A messy ball of pure, unadulterated comic book fun." |
Drew McAnulty |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Underworld (2003) |
"It is a sad day when vampires and werewolves need guns and bad fashion to be scary." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 2/5 |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"It's interesting and very telling that in the credits the actors are named last. It's Wiseman's way of acknowledging his films are not about performances but special effects." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 1/5 |
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) |
"Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is so dark at all times and so generally dull to boot that the biggest fight of all is the viewer's struggle to stay awake." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Undiscovered (2005) |
"Undiscovered is a pack of romantic nonsense arranged to suit a pre-teen audience." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"[Hill] stretches credulity to the breaking point is in asking us to believe that there are actually two pro athletes in America who would have to stay in prison long enough that the arrangements for such a fight could be made." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Undisputed is the kind of flick that could put hair on your chest and a swagger in your stride, assuming you don't actually drown in the testosterone that pours off the screen like the sweat flying from Ving Rhames's bald head." |
Steve Tilley |
Splat 3/5 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"For seekers of large, popcorn entertainment with no particular interest in verisimilitude or women, this one's a winner." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Unfaithful is a slick, intriguing adult thriller that is both provocative and thought provoking." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 2.5/5 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"The story is cluttered with bears, abusive boyfriends, tragic loss and plenty of other extraneous detail." |

The Uninvited (2009) |
"Scare-mongers will probably find The Uninvited too tame for their taste, but the storytelling should satisfy thriller fans." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
United 93 (2006) |
"... Paul Greengrass is to be commended for presenting the events as humanely and scrupulously as he does." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 4/5 |
United 93 (2006) |
"Paul Greengrass's United 93 is beyond devastating. His film about the events of Sept. 11, 2001, is all the more numbing because it is handled with such dignity and efficiency." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 2/5 |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"The problem here is that, in telling his harrowing story, American filmmaker Matthew Ryan Hoge makes it so dry and pedantic that it feels like a doctoral thesis, not a drama." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat |
Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) |
"Cheapo piece of claptrap!" |
Bruce Kirkland |

The Unknown Woman (2006) |
"The Unknown Woman is a thriller and a love story, and those elements are mixed together in unexpected ways. It's a stunning film." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Unleashed (2005) |
"An uneven but wildly entertaining hybrid about body and soul." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3/5 |
Unleashed (2005) |
"Those who want unrestrained action may find the melodrama a bit too soppy and those admiring the sweetness of the subplot will likely cringe during the blood and gore scenes." |
