Grandly Guignol
The film has cheesy dialogue and plot holes a mile wide, but also contains tight pacing, plenty of expertly timed scares, and the generous helping of unapologetic gore that's been missing from the glut of "horror" movies currently plaguing American screens.

All Hams on Deck
This is a lame imitation of American action movies right down to the line "You and I -- we're the same."

Johnny Knoxville made a name for himself by acting like a retard on Jackass, so consider The Ringer his comeuppance.

The Plot Thickens
It's a shame the film's postreunification milieu is unlikely to resonate as much with Americans. Zucker never gets too zany or too maudlin, and its petty characters could serve as stand-ins for just about anyone.

The War Within
American cinema has enjoyed a long love affair with the antihero, but the protagonist of The War Within may just take the cake.
