Most of La Bola Negra is disappointingly mundane, and by the time it gets to its protracted ending, the whole amounts to less than the sum of its parts.

Harry lives his life like it's still the 1970s, and writer/director Noah Segan makes a movie that could have existed back then, a low-key character study with slow-burning suspense.

The whimsy runs its course within the first scene, and all that's left is tiresome shtick and desperate tugging on the audience's heartstrings.

Zollicoffer gives a strong performance as a woman who refuses to be coddled, and the minimalist sci-fi world is mostly convincing, even if it doesn't amount to much by the end.

As a feature-length PSA for Brooke's House, the drug treatment center started by former police officer Kevin Simmers in memory of his daughter Brooke, Clean Hands is well-intentioned, but as drama it's a dreary slog.

The prolific, Oscar-winning Gibney has become a bit of a documentary factory in the past 15 years or so, but his competent professionalism serves him well, and Musk is most effective in its basic, reliable mode of talking heads and archival footage.
