Haven is far from perfect, with some uncomfortable pacing, wayward accents and less-than-satisfying denouements. But it's a refreshing, character-driven antidote to the late-summer movie-house blahs, and Flowers looks like a talent worth watching.Read the full review
Furiously crossing and double-crossing, the two main story lines never quite fuse or comment on each other.Read the full review
Silly little thriller.Read the full review
The film boasts compelling performances--from Bruckner, and especially from Stephen Dillane as a wildly pragmatic money-man who radiates well-deserved cynicism.

Terminally muddled crime drama.Read the full review
