Review of Soldiers of Fortune (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Aug 2012

A movie with a location named Snake Island should deliver more fun than this…

Review of Repo Men (2010)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Aug 2012

There's a key organ missing from the movie itself: a brain. In its place is a memory bank of other, better movies…

Review of Assassin's Bullet (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Aug 2012

Assassin's Bullet is strictly '90s-era pay-cable genre-rip-off nostalgia, ripe for ridicule…

Review of Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 25 Jul 2012

A new biopic of eccentric British rock legend Ian Dury, Andy Serkis uncoils a performance of spit, grit and wit so ferocious it only serves…

Review of Patang (2011)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Jul 2012

Bhargava's naturalistic approach to capturing the sights and sounds of a city in full revelry on rooftops and in the streets is colorfully vivid…

Review of Drunkboat (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 12 Jul 2012

The burnished smear of Lisa Rinzler's photography is a plus, but Drunkboat is ultimately the kind of pet project that never traverses from…

Review of Crazy Eyes (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Jul 2012

Director/co-writer Adam Sherman's Bukowski-lite character study is one of those exercises in masculine self-pity and glib misogyny that frustrates…

Review of Turn Me On, Dammit! (2011)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 28 Jun 2012

The movie treats a girl's burgeoning sexuality as neither epic nor problematic, or mutually exclusive of feelings of love, but rather simply,…

Review of Music from the Big House (2010)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Jun 2012

Even with a gripping subject like blues-singing convicts, the documentary Music from the Big House has a disconcerting emotional distance…

Review of The Girl from the Naked Eye (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Jun 2012

Early on, it's tempting to dismiss the noir pastiche The Girl From the Naked Eye as a warmed-over pulp wannabe, what with the overwrought camera…

Review of Ultrasonic (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 07 Jun 2012

The kind of grimly serious low-budget indie that wants to shake up perceptions about our engagement with the world, but mistakes repetition…

Review of The Color Wheel (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 06 Jun 2012

You might not like Perry's movie, but it's hard to deny the forensically assured sensibility at work…

Review of 6 Month Rule (2011)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 06 Jun 2012

Weaver's last ditch attempt to upend rom-com convention and rewrite the movie as a skeevy lout's comeuppance hardly makes up for the clichéd…

Review of Cellmates (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 30 May 2012

A near complete exercise in mirthlessness and atonal satire, Cellmates is a sentence, all right…

Review of Arjun: The Warrior Prince (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 23 May 2012

The animation is at times stiff and presentational, like a rushed rotoscoping job, but there's a charming majesty to the enterprise…

Review of Going Down in La-La Land (2011)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 17 May 2012

It's...familiar plotting and by-the-numbers characterization that sinks this earnest, gay-contoured take on the evergreen making-it-big melodrama…

Review of A Bag of Hammers (2011)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 16 May 2012

Thin, neatly folded, paper-airplane of a movie threatens to nose dive into tweeville…

Review of The Road (2011)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 May 2012

The film's three-pronged narrative does a fair job of laying a spooky groundwork for the revelatory emotional sadism that lies behind most…

Review of The Killing Jar (2010)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 27 Apr 2012

Benson is so terrible her close-up line readings feel as inconsequential as the insert shots, and Madsen, it must be said, finally looks exasperated…

Review of Safe (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 25 Apr 2012

There's nothing terribly original about Safe, but it's a suitably grimy playground for action cinema's reigning pit bull…
