Excalibur delivers some one-line movie reviews of the films at TIFF 2010.
‘The Edge’
An atmospheric, oddly affecting post-WWII drama about an unlikely connection in an isolated labour camp.
Rating: 3 out of 4
‘I Saw the Devil‘
This ultraviolent, overlong Korean revenge thriller covers no new ground.
Rating: 1 out of 4
‘Red Nights’
A languid, sensual horror that’s stylish fun and a bloody variation on the espionage thriller.
Rating: 3 out of 4
‘Super’
This grown-up and even more violent version of ‘Kick-Ass’ lacks visual style, likable characters or a remotely
believable plot.
Rating: 1.5 out of 4
‘Griff the Invisible’
An Australian superhero film that becomes a romantic comedy-drama mid-way; most of its good ideas are lost in the shuffle.
Rating: 2 out of 4
