L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"Against all odds, L.A. Confidential succeeds brilliantly, right down to Jerry Goldsmith's score, which evokes his haunting theme from Chinatown without being haunted by it." |
Peter Travers |

L.I.E. (2001) |
"A powerful and provocative achievement." |
Peter Travers |

La Vie En Rose (2007) |

Splat 2/4 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"The movie is a muddle, burdened with too many characters and a sorry lack of thrills, flair and coherence. Yet Shyamalan's talent is real." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Land of the Blind (2006) |
"Political satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Land of the Lost (2009) |
"Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything." |
Peter Travers |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Lantana (2001) |
"The acting is top-notch, and LaPaglia, who makes the cop's torment palpable, gives the performance of his career." |

Laurel Canyon (2003) |
"A clumsy package of clichés." |

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) |
"An exercise in illogic and Death Wish cribbing that lets a bunch of good actors collect big paychecks for playing way less than their A game." |
Peter Travers |
Splat 1/4 |
Laws of Attraction (2004) |
"[The cast and crew] are all victims of a script of such colossal banality and gross stupidity that smiles freeze on their faces, leaving them looking trapped and desperate, much like the audience." |
