U-571 (2000) |
"Highly improbable and B-movie weak in almost every department." |

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"What is ultimately so special about this film is its handling of the relationship between Lennon and wife, Yoko Ono." |
Bill White |

U2 3D (2008) |
"So technologically advanced and totally exhilarating in every way that it may just make all the other '08 concert films obsolete." |
William Arnold |
Tomato A |
Ucho (1970) |
"There's not a more acerbic, scathing or compelling critique of the Communist regime." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
The Ultimate Gift (2007) |
"The film communicates its message without belaboring its moral points or throwing in any overt religious dogma. Christ is mentioned only once and I couldn't tell from the story or the credits what the religious affiliation of the producers might be." |

Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"... moves the film along with a modicum of snap and manages to keep the kids' performances from sliding into complete sentimental mush, if only barely." |
Sean Axmaker |
Splat 4/10 |
Unbreakable (2000) |
"A potentially interesting idea deflated by the absurd proclamations of an arch screenplay and smothered under the ponderous gravity of M. Night Shyamalan's dreary direction." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B- |
Undead (2005) |
"Directors Peter and Michael Spierig have a tendency to push the performances into camp, but that energy and slapstick mayhem helps keep the film racing along." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato C+ |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"For all the clumsy scenes and cloying performances, director Patricia Riggen puts her adults through tough choices and hard consequences." |
Sean Axmaker |

Under the Sand (2001) |
"This beguiling film ... is blessed with a wonderfully complex performance by Charlotte Rampling." |
Paula Nechak |

Under the Sea 3D (2009) |
".. a visual pageant of strange undersea creatures hunting and scavenging and floating across the screen." |

Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"It's all played very light and totally calculated to please the audience." |

Undercover Brother (2002) |
"Griffin & Co. manage to be spectacularly outrageous." |

Undertow (2004) |
"Despite picturesque episodes and nicely observed characters, the film lacks suspense." |
Bill White |
Tomato B |
Underworld (2003) |
"The film works as an exhilarating celebration of the gothic style." |

Undiscovered (2005) |
"Undiscovered promotes one of the stupidest visions of the entertainment industry since American Idol opened the celebrity gateway to the dregs of the karaoke generation." |

Undisputed (2002) |
"A stylish but steady, and ultimately very satisfying, piece of character-driven storytelling." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B+ |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Has an emotional resonance that's rare these days, and hard to shake." |
William Arnold |

An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"It's pleasantly reminiscent of the kind of down-to-earth regional dramas Redford's Sundance Institute used to sponsor in its '80s heyday." |

The Unforeseen (2007) |
"Laura Dunn captures the national ecological battle in microcosm..." |

The United States of Leland (2004) |
"It's self-important, tedious and ultimately pointless." |

Universe of Keith Haring (2008) |
"Although first-time director Christina Clausen presents this era of bad art, bad music and boring celebrities without judging it, we can't help but feel we are witnessing the last party in the mansion of pop art before its imminent collapse." |
Bill White |
Splat C+ |
Unknown (2006) |
"The gimmick is all worn out, the script never makes us believe its epidemic of memory loss could ever happen, and its crescendo of third-act plot twists play like a desperate patch job on a concept that just didn't come off." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B- |
Unknown White Male (2005) |
"The originality of subject matter makes it an inspiring reminder that we can be whoever we want, not limited by the experiences that have molded us." |
Bill White |
Tomato B |
Unleashed (2005) |
"The story is modest, the drama direct yet resonant, and the action forgoes pyrotechnics for the unique special effect of martial arts mastery in action." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
An Unreasonable Man (2007) |
"... the not-so-subtle message of the movie is that the unreasonableness that gave us seat belts and clean air also gave us Bush, Iraq and the neo-conservative nightmare." |

Untraceable (2008) |
"Just ugh." |
Travis Nichols |
Tomato B- |
Up at the Villa (2000) |
"The production values are relatively high, the atmosphere of a dying aristocratic world is palpable, and the plot is tense and engrossing." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B- |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"Writer/director Mike Binder scripts sarcastic humor and dialogue that just avoids being glib, thanks in part to a pair of rich performances." |

Uptown Girls (2003) |
"Brittany Murphy's flighty, foolish trust-fund princess in Manhattan vies for the honor of the most annoying screen character of the year." |

Uzumaki (2002) |
"... less a story than an inexplicable nightmare, right down to the population's shrugging acceptance to each new horror." |
