Walking Tall (2004) |
"To compare it to the original version is practically laughable. Even the names have changed (c'mon, man - Buford Pusser is, like, the Snake Plissken of the '70s!)." |

The Way Home (2002) |
"So saccharine, I'm not sure I'd be able to take it under normal conditions." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
The Way of the Gun (2000) |
"Wildly derivative and painfully uneven, but The Way of the Gun is still an extremely stylish crime flick that is a lot more entertaining and original than most big Hollywood action films released this summer." |

We Own The Night (2007) |
"Instead of playing to the strength of its leads, the script almost seems to highlight their weaknesses (in other words, you don't see Wahlberg's abs once)." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 6/10 |
We Were Soldiers (2002) |
"A decent war film whose biggest strength is its telling of an important story with which the public is not entirely familiar." |

When Will I Be Loved (2004) |
"Plays like a film made by an aging writer-director who is still trying to prove he’s hip. Instead, it comes off as Larry Clark-Lite®." |

Willard (2003) |
