Splat 2.5/4	V For Vendetta (2005)	"This is not the movie, and these are not the times, for sophisticated arguments."	Peter Howell
Tomato 3/4	Vacancy (2007)	"The point of Vacancy is the terror, not the torture. Horror is vastly more effective when left to the mind's eye and it is what we can't see in Vacancy that truly frightens."	Peter Howell
Splat 2/5	Valentin (2004)	"Agresti has a decent cast here, but his story is so thin, it threatens to float right off the screen, even when late plot developments add a twist or two."	Peter Howell
Tomato	Valentine (2001)	"Succeeds on its own modest terms, and the plot doesn't fall apart under credit-roll pondering."	Norman Wilner
Tomato 3/4	Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009)	"There's only one monarch mentioned in the title of Valentino: The Last Emperor. But Matt Tyrnauer's breezy and entertaining look inside the world of high fashion is very much a two-man show."	Jason Anderson
Tomato 3/4	The Valet (2007)	"Just enjoy it now as the exceedingly pleasant farce that it is."	Peter Howell
Splat 2/4	Valiant (2005)	"Not only is the pacing less hyper, the humour less pop-cult savvy and the story almost creakily old-fashioned [than a Pixar production], it even looks like it was made in a cloudier climate: the dominant colours are muted blues and greys."	Geoff Pevere
Splat 2/4	Valkyrie (2008)	"Like the coup whose story it tells, Valkyrie is a near miss, failing to sweep us along for what should have been a dramatic ride."	Linda Barnard
Splat 1/5	Van Helsing (2004)	"A junk-food feast for the eyes and utterly thought-cleansing fast for the intellect."	Geoff Pevere
Splat 0.5/4	Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006)	"Crikey, it's enough to give even stupid comedy a bad name."	Geoff Pevere
Splat	Vanilla Sky (2001)	"It's not really a bad film -- it couldn't be, given the high level of talent involved -- but it is a rather pointless one."	Peter Howell
Tomato 3/5	Vanity Fair (2004)	"Lively and mostly successful treatment -- at least until the barbs are blunted in the messy third act."	Peter Howell
Splat 2/4	Vantage Point (2008)	"Vantage Point is a thriller that has quite a lot on its mind. The very structure of the movie challenges the audience�s patience, if not its wit."	Philip Marchand
Tomato 3.5/4	Vento di Terra (2005)	"Vincenzo Marra's quietly forceful Vento di Terra is one that belongs to a particularly venerable left-humanist European tradition."	Geoff Pevere
Tomato 3/4	Venus (2006)	"Venus adheres to the general parameters of conventional Hollywood with such cheek, intelligence and sheer self-deprecating nastiness that it does more to redeem the fantasy than it does the selfish and vain old geezer who is its beneficiary."	Geoff Pevere
Tomato 4/5	Vera Drake (2004)	"Arguably Leigh's finest achievement, its sole flaw being the too-perfect depiction of Vera -- no fault of Staunton's, who must surely be considered for Oscar recognition."	Peter Howell
Splat 2/5	Veronica Guerin (2003)	"As movie material, Veronica Guerin's life could have benefited from the gutsy probing the woman herself was renowned for."	Geoff Pevere
Tomato	Vertical Limit (2000)	"The pace of the movie rarely flags (neither does the idiocy, alas) and it's enough to warrant a marginal recommendation."	Peter Howell
Splat 2/5	A Very Long Engagement (2004)	"There's something hollow beneath its polished surface."	Geoff Pevere
Tomato 3/4	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	"Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a comedy, a good one, and also one of Allen's best-ever meditations on the many entanglements of love."	Peter Howell
Splat 1/5	View from the Top (2003)	"Might be productively -- and quite reasonably -- assaulted on a number of fronts (for its class condescension, its lack of humour, its waste of talent or even its sheer visual ugliness), but it seems both cruel and unnecessary to do so."	Geoff Pevere
Tomato 3/5	The Village (2004)	"It's the lack of a genuine wizard behind the curtain that robs The Village of much of its suspense, but the movie has merits that go beyond goosebumps."	Peter Howell
Tomato 3/5	Virginia's Run (2002)	Click here to see the review.
Tomato 3/4	Virtual JFK (2008)	"Despite its title, Virtual JFK doesn't imagine a world where JFK survives the events of Dallas and goes on to win a second term as U.S. president. That would be a whole other movie, and a fascinating one at that."	Peter Howell
Tomato 3.5/4	The Visitor (2008)	"The story of Vale's revitalization and his grief is compelling but simple, free of any sentimentality, and marked by powerful performances from Jenkins and Hiam Abbass, who plays Mouna Khalil, Tarek's mother."	Philip Marchand
Splat 1.5/4	Vitus (2007)	"Directed with a conspicuous lack of inspiration."	Geoff Pevere
Tomato 3/4	Volver (2006)	"A feast of colours, swooning camera movements, lushly orchestrated musical cues and meticulously fetishized symbolism."	Geoff Pevere
