"This is one of De Niro's most underappreciated performances here and his work alongside Reno lends itself to a whole heap of future adventures across the world that I STILL live in hope of one day seeing."

"This has joined KLAUS in our house as a firm family favourite that we've started to thoroughly enjoy revisiting each year with the kids."

"Guttenberg is the single bright spot here - a wave of high energy and over-commitment, with his old 'Mahoney' charm pushing up against a wobbly TV movie decidedly beneath him."

I like to pretend Michael Lonsdale's Jean-Pierre in RONIN is an aged version of his French Resistance character in MUNICH.

"This is only 11 years old and already it's a quaint hark back to an era when the true crime television drama - one that, through ex-reporter turned TV writer Jeff Pope, ITV essentially perfected - was quiet, careful, considered and wholly unsalicious."

"I especially liked the tour stop in London where they addressed this was the only place their movie played on the big screen, only to make $14k and get trounced by a CBEEBIES PANTO, with them utterly bewildered by what a 'CBeebies' is."

"Its influence is so enormous there's not a lot of horror films nowadays (especially those by James Wan) that should be allowed to slide by without thanking ~this~ in their credits."

"Philip Seymour Hoffman (in one of his final roles), Richard Jenkins, John Turturro, Eddie Marsan and the always welcome Peter Gerety - it's a smorgasboard of exceptional talent, spinning gold from very little."

"This is an embarrassing, witless, clunky and shockingly unoriginal actioner that is such a chore to wade through."

"This is a film unashamed in leaning right on in the better movies it's cribbing from to create a sort of 'serviceable comfort blanket' of a genre movie..."

"... For me I kinda look at it more as an 'expensive recalibration' akin to what EVIL DEAD II was to EVIL DEAD."

"... Here it feels like Ching and Hark simply said 'What if we do that first movie with the dials turned up past 'mental' and see what happens'?"

"... It's all billowing fields of smoke, maurading masses, kinetic and gravity-defying choreographed fights, demons and heroism. It's frankly tremendous."

"There's points throughout this film where I started to believe it was deliberately constructed to purposefully aggravate and annoy me."

"It's a tight and impressively constructed comedy full of brilliantly staged and well-earned comedy set-pieces stacked precariously on top of one another..."

"It's a wondrous piece of blockbuster filmmaking AND an all-time great sequel."

"It's expansive, elegiac and epic. And most impressively of all it's one unexceptional logger's life from the 1880s to the 1960s in just 100 minutes..."

"It's big and colourful, full of massive shoot-outs and broad emotional manipulation. It is thoroughly and enormously enjoyable. You could say it is, in fact, actually... magnificent!"

"Disney has taken THE AVENGERS and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, expertly smashed them together and released the results. It's funny, sweet, moving, exhilarating and it looks gorgeous with a stunning cityscape and inventive design work."

"This goes from us snidely mocking these complete grim and gruesome chancers trying to get rich selling tat and waffle off of child murder to just becoming depressed that so, so, so many have taken the infamous Onion headline as an accepted reality."

"... It's a beautiful looking movie - dazzling red uniforms offset against lush green vistas and magnificent blue skylines - and on top of that it's possibly one of the most tremendously effective slowburns in cinema."
