Crank

Jason Statham's Crank – despite the fact that its ever-revving mayhem is ultraviolent, sexist, and frequently offensive enough to warrant a look-see by both the ACLU and the DOJ – is pure action-film bliss.

"...say about The English Patient. Speaking of which, former Guy Ritchie mainstay and sometime Transporter Statham is one sick..."

Sept. 8, 2006 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Sherlock Holmes

This movie reinvents the chilly, brainiac sleuth as a tortured genius and occasional backroom brawler, and Robert Downey Jr. almost makes the character work.

"...Directed by: Guy Ritchie. Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams,..."

Dec. 25, 2009 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Snatch

Ritchie's second feature is part broad comic farce and part grisly charnel house humor.

Next Day Air

A misdelivered package of concealed cocaine kicks off events in this comic film starring Donald Faison, Mike Epps, and Mos Def.

Moonwalkers

A stoner comedy frames this moon-landing conspiracy-theory romp

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

This fourth entry in the Tom Cruise film franchise is the best of the bunch; it's wacky and keen to please.

Filth and Wisdom

Madonna's film-directing debut, which stars Gogol Bordello charismatic frontman Eugene Hutz, is a slight and philosophically dubious effort.

Flushed Away

Flushed Away has a wicked, smart, and subtle sense of humor, and unlike so many kids movies these days, its characters are living, breathing parts of a small ecosystem.

"...if they just stepped off the set of a Guy Ritchie picture. With his unnerving, wobbly eyes and stentorian..."

Ushpizin

This Israeli comedy is a wholly original movie that's set and filmed entirely within the insular realm of Jerusalem’s ultra-orthodox Hasidim.

"...Avraham Abutboul. The Israeli comedy Ushpizin begins something like Guy Ritchie’s Snatch and ends like the Coen brothers’ Raising..."

Dec. 23, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Unleashed

Jet Li, in his first Western role of any depth, convincingly plays both man and beast, although a sentimental script by producer Luc Besson hampers the story.
