U-Turn (1997) |
"The film takes so many detours that at least one or two of them are bound to surprise even the most jaded movie-goer." |

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"Those hoping for something hard-hitting won't find it here. This is strictly on the level of what one might uncover during a VH1 special." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"Hollywood, it seems, has lost the knack of how to make a good romantic comedy." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ulee's Gold (1997) |
"Nunez's script is thoughtful and intelligent, and it challenges his actors with fully-formed personalities for them to breathe life into..." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1/4 |
Ultraviolet (2006) |
"Uwe Boll would be proud of this movie. It's pretentious and oh-so-serious. The tone of the movie is one of high art, but it stinks like a landfill." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) |
"Far more powerful than one would initially suppose." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Un Air de Famille (1996) |
"A wonderfully rich and intelligent exploration of family dynamics." |

The Unborn (2009) |
"This is where many a horror movie falls and never again rises: too much exposition." |

Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"The strong final third counterbalances the weaknesses of the first half." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"An effective and moving account of the power of grief and denial." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Skin (1997) |
"Morton makes Iris real. Every moment she's on screen, the actress forces us to accept Iris as a living, breathing individual." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"If you're looking for pretty, postcard-like settings, this movie offers plenty of them. If the narrative is more of a concern, you may find this film lacking." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Undercover Blues (1993) |
"This empty-headed comedy revels in its own admitted idiocy." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"There are laughs aplenty, and, as a bonus, viewers don't have to worry about being subjected to farts, urine, feces, semen, or any of the other foul substances that have overrun modern-day comedies." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Underneath (1994) |
"A departure from the run-of- the-mill thriller." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undertow (2004) |
"Those going to Undertow expecting a thriller will find the proceedings slow going. However, those who are seduced by the characters and the setting will find that the 105 minutes pass quickly." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Underworld (2003) |
"Underworld captured my attention sporadically, but not consistently." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"Underworld: Evolution is representative of the 'modern' vampire movie -- loud, violent, and raucous." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) |
"The storyline essentially replicates that of Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, meaning that if you've seen one or both of them, there's no compelling reason to spend your hard earned dollars on the third." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"An average B-movie with no aspirations to be anything more." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"After the plot's big turning point, the movie loses its focus and can't decide whether it wants to be a melodrama or a crime thriller." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"An Unfinished Life isn't original, but, for those who enjoy this sort of drama, it's an opportunity to remember how, in the right circumstances, on-screen characters can touch our hearts." |

Unforgiven (1992) |
"One of Unforgiven's assets is the way it overturns conventions, taking the man who is typically the hero and making him the villain, while transforming the traditional bad guy into a sympathetic protagonist." |

United 93 (2006) |
"When I compile my Top 10 list of films for 2006, United 93 will be on it, and almost certainly close to the top." |

Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) |
"Despite all the pyrotechnics, I almost dozed off twice!" |

Unknown White Male (2005) |
"Rupert Murray's account represents fascinating viewing, and the richness of the subject matter more than makes up for the crudeness of some of the visual elements." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Unleashed (2005) |
"The film contains enough quiet, reflective moments for us to become aware how preposterous the central conceit is, and that keeps us at arm's length. For a movie that strives to be in-your-face, that's too far away." |
