Amid many excellent low-budget and/or B-movie entries of the time, it was a standout, with Dante’s work supported by John Sayles’ witty script, Rob Bottin’s makeup effects and an effective Pino Donaggio score.

It's quite lovable, and Sally Kirkland gives what I'd have to call an egoless performance.

It's very effective, quirky, and with an interesting lead performance. Sci-fi on a totally cerebral level.

Cillian Murphy is so underplaying that I frankly wished he would just get on with it. I found this way too slow and close to soporific.

For the most part I thought it was very good with strong performances all throughout. Given the cast, it's not a big surprise.

It's generally quite well-made. It had some leaps of faith at various points that I had trouble taking, but it's effective.

This is a solid Clint Eastwood film with great issues of guilt and social responsibility without hammering you over the head with it.

This is a terrific film that about two-thirds through even gets Dickensian, which really hit me upside the head.

It is exciting while it goes along, but that ending was so off-the-wall that I was left confused, frankly.
