O (2001) |
"A worthy experiment, though far from a slamdunk." |

O'Horten (2009) |
"Filmmaker Hamer isn't being cruel here. He's trying to tell us that conquering the ridiculous is one of life's necessary joys." |

Observe and Report (2009) |
"The tone of the film wavers queasily, though intentionally, between slapstick and shock." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1/4 |
Obsessed (2009) |
"Obsessed is a safe, dull morality play. The most that can be said on its behalf is that, unlike Fatal Attraction, no bunnies were boiled in the picture." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ocean Men: Extreme Dive (2001) |
"This is the anti-adrenaline movie, about tuning the metabolism down to a bare survival state." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"To be sure, Soderbergh has proved his entertaining point, and done the Rat Pack one better, converting a paltry failure into a paltry success. But just how cool is that?" |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"For all its forced twinkle, Ocean's Thirteen leaves you with no real warmth, like a croupier who's just cleaned you out before he wishes you a nice day." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"Ocean's Twelve lacks the courage of its star-driven convictions." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Office Space (1999) |
"When Peter actively rebels and is ironically rewarded for his efforts by the head honchos, the picture loses its bite -- what began as discomfiting satire soon devolves into silly farce." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 4/4 |
Offside (2006) |
"Jafar Panahi's wonderful Offside uses soccer to speak volumes about the gulf between Iran's religious rulers and its citizens -- especially the women." |
|
Splat 1/4 |
Old Dogs (2009) |
"The timing of the comic set-ups is consistently amateurish, as if scenes were edited with hedge clippers, with the actors mugging frantically, waiting for the take to end." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Old Joy (2006) |
"Wise, resonant and genuinely special." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Old School (2003) |
"Old hat." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Oliver Twist (2005) |
"A work of craft that could be flying the Masterpiece Theatre banner. You know, an earnestly worthy adaptation of a literary classic, as faithful and polished as it is ponderous and unprovocative." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Omagh (2004) |
"... a good picture that's at its best when dramatizing the very violence it condemns." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1/4 |
The Omen (2006) |
"Compared to Al Gore's new global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, The Omen makes the Apocalypse look comforting and child-friendly." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
On A Clear Day (2006) |
"The wonder here, if not the redemption, is that so many toil so hard to make this saccharine stuff palatable." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
On the Line (2001) |
"An innocuous romantic comedy about missed connections, like Serendipity for people who can't vote yet." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
On the Trail of Igor Rizzi (2006) |
"The sentimentality is heavy-handed (comparisons to Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's poker-faced comedies fall apart here), and the narrative is more concerned with following sequential surprises than logical inevitability." |
Liam Lacey |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Once (2007) |
"Sweet but never cloying, simple without being simplistic, delicate yet not at all precious, this is a film guaranteed to set your toes to tapping even as it plays a number on your heartstrings." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (2003) |
"Meadows has complained that financial backers forced him to cut a third of his Midlands script. The suspicion persists that he cut the wrong third." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The One (2001) |
"[Wong] drains the artistry from the martial arts, shooting the aerial work without the requisite grace, and adding a plebian array of not-so-special effects." |

One Hour Photo (2002) |
"Unfortunately, One Hour Photo lives down to its title. Thanks largely to Williams, all the interesting developments are processed in 60 minutes -- the rest is just an overexposed waste of film." |

Ong Bak 2 (2009) |
"Who needs more plot when there's so many exotic kicks to be had?" |
Jennie Punter |

Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2005) |
"A knockout of a martial arts movie -- and an elbow to the head. And two knees to the back and a roundhouse kick to the ear for good measure." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Only (2009) |
"We may be charmed by this sly refusal of Hollywood formulas, or we may react as the girl does with an annoyed and dismissive "What?"" |
Kate Taylor |
Splat 2/4 |
Only Human (2006) |
"Teresa De Pelegri and Dominic Harari, making their feature debut, are as interested in the realistic drama of the situation as they are the clash of cartoonish characters, and they lurch uncertainly from one to the other." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Open Range (2003) |
"If the climax of Open Range is disappointing, the ending is almost intolerable, as the plot descends into a twinkling love story, and Costner reverts to filmmaking aimed at 12-year-olds." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Open Season (2006) |
"The film wraps mindless cartoon violence and a few fart jokes around life lessons about friendship and responsibility. Kids should like it; parents won't mind it." |
Mark Medley |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Open Water (2004) |
"Considered in its ham-handed entirety, Open Water feels more of an exercise in cinematic sadism." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Open Your Eyes (1997) |
"For adventurous filmgoers, though, this Spanish import offers something off the beaten path and a chance to play the coffee-shop game: Could This Screenplay Be Saved?" |
