Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Plays like two fingers up at a shameful chapter in recent Antipodean times, at those responsible and at the way it has all been forgotten." |

Rat Race (2001) |
"You have to wonder about the mentality of anyone who would want to use the "Cannonball Run" pictures as inspiration." |

The Recruit (2003) |
"The plot announces that it's going to gyp us around, not because it has other things to offer, but out of the hope that we will let it off the hook." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 2/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"A mess. The screenplay does too much meandering, Norton has to recite bland police procedural details, Fiennes wanders around in an attempt to seem weird and distanced, Hopkins looks like a drag queen." |

Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Generally this is a skilful film, subtle as can be expected from a major studio, with involving, detailed characterisations, and the best kind of tear-jerking moments -- those that earn the right to be there." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 4/4 |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"You can't walk out of this movie. If you want to leave, you'll run." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Resident Evil (2002) |
"So lifeless, pointless and dank that it manages the amazing feat of making the undead seem boring." |

Return to Paradise (1998) |
"The plot carries surprises right up until the last, but with no cheap shocks or selling out, only painful inevitabilities." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 1/4 |
Revengers Tragedy |
"Could use a few things -- like, I dunno, maybe life, skill, comprehension and the wisdom of knowing that jokes and a sense of humour are not the same thing." |

Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) |
"A wonderful, forgiving, surprising movie." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Ring (2002) |
""The Ring" is pretty much an English-language copy of the film that inspired it, and it carries the same strengths and flaws." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ripley's Game (2002) |
"Cavani uses a seedy, spying camera and beautiful European locations to draw us into the action and dress it up as art. She's a sick puppy, but she's good at what she does." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Road to El Dorado (2000) |
"[It's] such an entertaining children's movie because it gives the audience some credit." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Road to Perdition (2002) |
"Whether "Road to Perdition" is trying too hard or not, the point to stay focused on is that it happens to be a very good film." |

Rollerball (2002) |
"Such an incomprehensible mess that it feels less like bad cinema than like being stuck in a dark pit having a nightmare about bad cinema." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |

Romeo Must Die (2000) |
"It all ends in a lot of explosions. Surprised?" |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Rookie (2002) |
"I left the cinema feeling pleased, but also kinda hollow. The film lets us bask and reflect rather than involving us in the meat of a story." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 5/10 |
A Room for Romeo Brass (2000) |
"If coming-of-age were as unsettling as this movie, most people would commit suicide before getting out of high school." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rope (1948) |
"A minor masterpiece; Hitchcock could turn out brilliance even when he considered himself to be simply playing around." |

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) |
"Annoying, but inventive" |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |

The Rugrats Movie (1998) |
"Has not a trace of what made the early episodes of the cartoon fun, and even at a slight 80 minutes, is a complete waste of time." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Rules of Attraction (2002) |
"It misses opportunities in a lot of ways and stays effective as a whole. There is so much going on, filmed with such style, that I found it hard to stop being fascinated." |
