• Horse Whisperer, The (1998)

  [5/10]

  "In order to enjoy The Horse Whisperer, you must meet at least five of the following six criteria: you like horses or movies about horses, you like to look at Robert Redford, you like movies with panoramic scenes of the American West, you like semi-tragic romance movies, and you are a woman. If you meet these criteria, then you will not even notice that 160 minutes passed by while watching The Horse Whisperer."

• Mission: Impossible (1996)

  [6/10]

  "I can understand killing off one or two of the team members to provide a revenge motivation for the rest of the team, but killing off the entire team, including Phelps, departs so radically from the traditions of the TV series, that only the first twenty minutes really deserve the name Mission: Impossible."

  Average score: 5.50
