Question: Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Here's one of those unfolding documentaries where unforeseen events and deeds make the subject more appealing than even the filmmaker expected.Hope, pride, personal identity and an air of fierce competition underlie the enjoyable action.
2. [The King of Kong] would play like dark comedy were there not such honest-to-God cruelty at its core.
3. Who would have guessed that a documentary about gamers obsessed with scoring a world record at Donkey Kong would not only be roaringly funny but serve as a metaphor for the decline of Western civilization?
4. The subtitle of the film is actually an unneeded addition since what the film highlights with piercing exactitude are the lengths grown men won't go to in the long run to prove themselves.
5. Not unlike the sleeper hit Little Miss Sunshine, this breezy and engaging documentary has a great deal to say about the American fixation on winning and losing.
6. You don't have to be an '80s kid to see The King of Kong as a metaphor for life itself.
7. Documentaries can make you concerned for the environment or fascinated by penguins. And now, they can make you cheer for a guy who plays arcade games in his garage.
8. A clever structure by director Seth Gordon means that The King of Kong ends up more engrossing than its bunch of geeky characters initially suggest.
9. Hollywood may find it difficult to cast two big-name stars willing to play it as broadly as the real-life hero and villain of this tale. Nor would many self-respecting scriptwriters dare to match the sheer improbability of these actual happenings.
10. Up there with some of the greastest sports docs in that it truly allows the viewer to experience the thrill of competition and agony of defeat.

Here is the consensus of critics:The King of Kong is funny and compelling with more than a few poignant insights into human behavior. Director Seth Gordon presents the dueling King Kong players in all their obsessive complexity and with perfectly al dente observations.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Great camera work and postproduction combined with the genuine grit of police work make this a film to see.
2. A sizzling French drama about a courageous team of men and women in a Parisian Child Protection Unit who struggle to survive the daily deluge of crime and chaos.
3. The fragmented narrative and use of juxtaposition that Maďwenn adopts for Polisse results in an engaging portrait of an ensemble of people and cases.
4. This challenging police-procedural docudrama is worth watching closely and taking seriously.
5. If there's one thing this Cannes-feted drama portrays incisively, it's the porousness of the characters' existence: Work bleeds into life and life into work, wreaking havoc on their respective moral compasses.
6. While never exploitative, "Polisse" can be extremely disturbing.
7. Polisse is a film not about police but about police films. It delivers in that regard, but its thin psychological component and attention-grabbing showiness deny it lasting importance.
8. It's filled with shocking dialogue and disturbing content, but treats it all in a strangely facile way.
9. Inspired by a documentary, the film is shot with vérité immediacy and beautifully acted by an outstanding ensemble.
10. Over the film's more-than-two-hour running time we are immersed in the lives of these cops as they attempt both to see justice done and to preserve their sanity.

Here is the consensus of critics:Polisse is a gripping and powerful procedural drama filled with fine acting and unflinching eye for truth and brutality.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. It's still an enjoyable experience revisiting the Nostromo and getting reacquainted with its seven crew members.
2. A monster movie with class.
3. What you will find is that the old mayhem is still masterful and that there is nothing like the big screen for this type of mortally wounded space exploration.
4. Watching it again reminded me how remarkably the sound engineers did their jobs.
5. Alien still thrills because of Scott's relentless focus on terror.
6. It's scary, smart, well-acted and just as effective now as it was in 1979. Go see it.
7. fuller and scarier
8. Thrill again to how thoroughly conceived the whole thing is, how impeccably acted and genuine in its suspense.
9. Turns out not to be one of those movies that improves in the memory, but actually is better than you remember, mostly because it puts its multitude of imitators to shame.
10. Scott knew how to create tension, and the movie still has plenty of white-knuckle impact, although it's a little tamer than I remembered.

Here is the consensus of critics:Director Ridley Scott re-edits his 1979 sci-fi classic to produce an elegantly re-mastered film that is as terrifying and effective as ever.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Compelling, powerful filmmaking.
2. In the wrong hands this could have been capital punishment, but as a low key drama about one man's unique approach to life and other people's deaths, it's actually just, er, capital.
3. The filmmakers fall through their own trapdoor, using the hangman's story to fashion a preachy anti-capital punishment message movie that seems at odds with the man himself.
4. Effectively shows how an executioner kills over six hundred people before coming to end of his rope.
5. Avoiding the thornier issues around dabbling in a career choice as a kind of government sanctioned serial killer, hangman Pierrepoint instead boasts of his apparently unique talent for completing an execution in record seconds.
6. It's Timothy Spall who really carries the film.
7. You have to wonder just how true to life the melodramatic depiction of these events is.
8. Morbid Goths and reserved Anglophiles can at last find some common ground
9. [The film's] grittiness instantly adds to the historically and socio-economically convincing picture of working-class Yorkshire in the last century.
10. Very much a bookend to Vera Drake in its mixture of post war British reserve and ugly reality. [Actor] Spall makes it work, creating a little man with big and terrible secrets.

Here is the consensus of critics:
Answer: Director Adrian Shergold doesn't shy away from the darker elements of the movie's subject, and Timothy Spall is mesmerizing as the title character.
