Conviction
Kiko Martinez
“Only somewhat successful in adapting a story ripped straight from the headlines.”
“Only somewhat successful in adapting a story ripped straight from the headlines.”
“Unsettling…there’s more at stake, which makes it all the more frightening.”
“Left with profound questions lingering in a screenplay that merely skims the surface.”
“For a fan base who can stomach another round of slimy bodily excrements.”
“Script maintains a playful tone and rarely takes shortcuts by harping on the obvious.”
“Cutness factor is high…but ends up pandering in the most formulaic ways possible.”
“An original concept…but never gets paid the attention to detail it deserves.”
“An aesthetic combat piece that places us in the most nightmarish of scenarios.”
“An exhilarating drama that achieves the finest that filmmaking has to offer today.”
“On its own merit, the remake of a Swedish thriller is executed strikingly well.”
“A darkly-imagined technical wonder…a rare case where 3-D adds to the experience.”
“A taut but mostly formulaic crime drama with deep-seated tension that never boils over.”
