Vacancy (2007) |

Robin Clifford |
Splat 4/10 |
Valentine (2001) |
"Rehashes the horror genre in an unoriginal and uninvolving way that simply marks its time and body count until the muddled and silly ending." |
Robin Clifford |

The Valet (2007) |
"There may be few surprises as to where this latest one is headed, but Veber socks it over with casting, pacing and subtext." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato B |
The Valet (2007) |
"Little farcical asides, such as Emily's aging physician father (Michel Aumont) who gets more care from his patients than he gives, help keep the humor quotient high..." |

Valiant (2005) |
"the animated tale of misfit recruits accomplishing a heroic mission lacks an integral component - humor." |
Laura Clifford |

Valiant (2005) |
"One complaint I have with Valiant is the lack of humor – there is some but not enough for a kids’ animation" |

Valkyrie (2008) |
"...like Cruise's performance, an overall restraint keeps the heroic story behind "Valkyrie" from soaring as high as it should." |

Vantage Point (2008) |
"A high caliber international cast, an Irish television director and a green screenwriter with a marketable ad concept all add up to one big slice of cheese with Vantage Point, a movie that cannot even stay the course with its own story telling devi" |

Veronica Guerin (2003) |
