Reviews Featuring Colin Farrell

Phone Booth
A clever idea that’s never quite as good as you want it to be.

The Recruit
Never quite as unpredictable as it aspires to be, but Farrell’s performance and Pacino’s presence pulls it above the average.

Intermission
A well-acted, ambitiously plotted directorial debut which will leave you with a big smile. If all romantic comedies had this much cynicism, violence and raw energy, there would be hope for the genre.

S.W.A.T.
'S.W.A.T.' puts together a police squad loaded with so much brainless testosterone that it ends up being just a bunch of balls. How much fun will you get from it? S.Q.U.A.T.

In Bruges
One of the best films of the year that a lot of people still haven’t seen, this tale of two hit men trying to be tourists is a dark comedy of the darkest variety.

Pride and Glory
If you can get through the lackluster first hour of this cop family gone wrong saga, you’ll be rewarded with a well-acted, suspenseful crime thriller.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Heath Ledger's final performance will bring this reasonable movie more attention than it probably deserves.
