First Sunday (2008)15%

3/5
 
"While the when-animals-attack genre has been a staple of direct-to-retail movies for decades now, this tries for a more realistic approach than the usual rubber or CGI reptile's buffet."

"This film is like watching the actual game played by someone with slow reactions. That's not much of a spectator sport."

Hitman (2007)15%
/
2/5
 
"There are some fleetingly beautiful scenic shots and the odd atmospheric moment, but scissorhands editing destroys any suspense as it attempts to hide a very obvious plot twist; this is as boring as listening to anyone's drug story."

2/5
 
"Scientists believe that black holes can slow down the progress of time. A similar effect can be felt by viewers of this damp squib of a farce as it grinds on from one lame set-up to the next."

"If and when Bollywood does deliver a crossover hit, it's likely this film-maker will be behind it."

"While it doesn't present anything that is in any way original, it's fast and fun enough not to outstay its welcome."

"Nothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days of hip-hop and spraycan art, of the burned-out and derelict Bronx."

"There's nothing here to seriously damage Gandhi Sr's reputation; if anything, he is made more human."

"Tense, brooding, scary -- there are plenty of words to describe 1986's superior B-movie The Hitcher. None, however, apply to this remake."

"O'Connor's direction has absolutely zero visual flair, making the performers' transition from television to film rather pointless."
