Reviews Featuring Charlize Theron

The Italian Job
A workmanlike heist flick with some funny lines and some good (if brief) chases, but it is ultimately hampered by comparing itself to the original, better 'The Italian Job'. Probably the best way to enjoy this film is to ignore its title, and to think of it as an entirely different film with occasional sequences that merely pay homage to Michael Caine's cockney masterpiece.

Trapped
Dim-witted but surprisingly amusing, this is a fun thriller to watch for all the wrong reasons.

Monster
With a serial killer who is also a serial victim, and whose gruff exterior conceals a fragile beauty, it is hard to know who the real monster is in this film - and that's a good thing.

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
A troubled portrayal of a troubled life.

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
This fun, screwball period comedy is about as good a starting point as budding Woody Allen fans could hope to come across.

The Road
The Road is the finest post-Apocalyptic epic in a long time thanks to some excellent character development, haunting landscapes and an understated eeriness. What’s more, it’s a scenario that seems unnervingly possible.
