The Damned United (2009) |
"The Damned United is highly watchable, a comedic fiction that happens to be mostly fact." |

Dans Paris (2007) |
"Clearly Honoré is talented, but only towards the end does the tale come together with conviction." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Wes Anderson is an acquired taste. But those who liked The Royal Tenenbaums and even the grossly uneven The Life Aquatic may find this serio-comic tale about three brothers on a train journey through India a satisfactory diversion from everyday reality." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"[Ledger's] manic zest gives the film its energy." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Daylight Robbery (2008) |
"This small-budget heist movie, though hardly very original, is at least made with complete professionalism." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"It's woefully flat and not nearly as scary as it thinks it is. It almost makes one yearn for Saw. But not quite." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Dean Spanley (2008) |
"This is really a shaggy dog story that takes too long to start barking. But when it does, it works a treat. It’s amazing how much you can forgive if the last part of a movie is right, and this one covers itself in something like glory in the nick of time." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"In the end the knockabout humour totally destroys the glimmers of spiteful sophistication which would have made it much funnier." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Death Defying Acts (2008) |
"It’s all a touch undercooked and dull." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 1/5 |
Death Proof (2007) |
"The dialogue with which Tarantino is usually adept is disastrously clunky, the filmmaking largely without flair and even the apeing of the smears and scratches of the schlock originals seems ridiculous." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"Initially, it calls to mind recent events in the UK - but in truth, it's more like a new-fangled B-movie than a treatise for our troubled times." |

Defiance (2008) |
"Defiance remains a fantastic story. No one could doubt the sincerity of its telling. What Defiance lacks is simply an ability to make it come fully alive." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Delta (2008) |
"Kornel Mundruczó’s film has been dubbed the Hungarian Deliverance — but even John Boorman’s classic wasn’t shot as beautifully as this." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Departures (2009) |
"Departure’s cynicism, ironically, is what makes the optimism of its last act so moving." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Splat 2/5 |
The Descent: Part 2 (2009) |
"Competent film-making renders the film watchable but it's silly in essence and there's nothing the cast can do about that, however hard they scream." |

Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"This fourth episode of the Die Hard series, with its plot that seems to have come straight out of Marvel Comics and its preposterous if dynamic action sequences, has only a battered 52-year-old Bruce Willis as John McClane to commend it as a drama." |

Doghouse (2009) |
"You could say that this is one step up from the ghastly Lesbian Vampire Killers, since it suggests they are getting what they deserve from the other sex. But that step is a short one." |

Dorian Gray (2010) |
"Teenagers will love this film. They will love it because there are lots of close-ups of Barnes being done unto or doing unto others. As a vehicle for a rising and undeniably talented star, it hits the spot." |

Doubt (2008) |

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932) |
"The 1931 version of the Robert Louis Stevenson novella, directed by the great Rouben Mamoulian, is still the best version there is, far more frightening than the glossy MGM version Victor Fleming made a decade or so later." |

Dragonball: Evolution (2009) |
