John C. Reilly
Reviews Featuring John C. Reilly
Good. Gangs of New York is like a really good looking (but boring) date. You hope there's some sugar waiting for you if you persevere, but you've got to get through three hours of monotony before you reach it. And like a boring date, there's not enough substance here to bring you back for a repeat performance.
A half-decent comedy that starts off well but collapses about halfway through and fails to recover.
Offers us something different from the usual (and increasingly tiresome) gangland matter, but the end product is confusing, muddled-up and far, FAR too long. Any fans of DiCaprio out there (well, it takes all sorts) would be much better off picking up a copy of the vastly-superior Catch Me If You Can.
A well-acted but equally pointless and pessimistic production.
Im not saying this is a long film, but you could watch Weekend At Bernies TWICE in an equivalent amount of time. Nuff said.
Tense and twisty grifter remake - but so close to the original, it's criminal.
A comedy-drama that gives you food for thought.
This psychological chiller drips with atmosphere, but compared to the Japanese original its ending is something of a damp squib.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
An interesting story that doesn't really deliver on its potential, this one may get in on the big vampire train making its way through pop culture, but its inability to find itself is disappointing.
A clever, touching and, at times, irreverently funny tale of a mother and a psychopathic son told with huge amounts of subtlety and depth.
Polanksi takes a risk with a cast of non-comedians (Reilly included) for this comedy drama but it pays off as Carnage is funny, tense and full of choice dialogue.
