12 Monkeys (1995) |
"The whole scope of 12 Moneys is completely insane, often confusing, sometimes almost unintelligible; but somehow at the end it all comes together and everything makes sense if you look at it closely enough." |

2 Days In The Valley (1996) |
"2 Days in the Valley is witty and bracing in its own right, and it shouldn't be buried under extraneous comparisons to Pulp Fiction." |

3:10 to Yuma (2007) |
"In the end, what makes 3:10 to Yuma work despite a rather preposterous final act, is that it refuses to see anything in terms of moral simplicity, despite the presence of black and white hats." |
