Reviews Featuring Paul Bettany

A Knight’s Tale
A rollicking action comedy to a rock soundtrack, the film has plenty to like about it. The jousting is thrilling and the tension of competition saves the otherwise average plot.

Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World
Big, brash and powerfully performed – but it only sporadically holds the interest.

A Beautiful Mind
Calling it a “Beautiful” Mind seems a tad self-indulgent – but it’s certainly a bloody good one.

The Heart Of Me
All heart and no trousers.

Dogville
Confronting viewers with an ugly picture of themselves that some may not wish to see, this fable of corruption, exploitation and vengeance in a one-dog town is a classic story told in a bold new way, with never a dull moment.

Wimbledon
Only the stars bounce in this dull-as-Henman Wimblebore.

The Reckoning
Medieval monotony.

The Da Vinci Code

The Young Victoria
A nice period romance that somehow makes Queen Victoria sexy and doesn't insult the audience's intelligence.
