Kyle Smith
Its clichés grow slightly funny. But not funny enough to make the endless torture scenes bearable.
Jeannette Catsoulis
[It] suggests only that ferreting out new ways to inflict pain requires more imagination than anyone on hand realized.
Elizabeth Weitzman
Ugh.
Rex Reed
It's a revolting horror film that wastes the talents and good looks of Erika Christensen and Jesse Metcalfe in favor of severed penises and other violent atrocities performed on a kitchen table.
Scott Tobias
The torture-porn label would stick if wasn't so hard to imagine anyone getting much out of it.
Joshua Rothkopf
The flick gets off on surgical slicings and an overall Fincheresque gloominess, the latter becoming an unwitting joke.

Lean, nasty, and patently absurd, The Tortured plays like one long scream of agony.

Good People
Young American couple Tom and Anna Reed (James Franco and Kate Hudson) fall into severe debt while renovating Anna's family home in London. As the couple faces the loss of their dream to have a house and start a family, they discover that the tenant in the apartment below them has been murdered and he left behind a stash of cash—$400,000 worth. Though initially hesitant, Tom and Anna decide that the plan is simple: all they have to do is quietly take the money and use only what's necessary to get them out of debt. But when they start spending the money and can't seem to stop, they find themselves the target of a deadly adversary—the thief who stole it—and that's when very bad things start happening to good people.
The Summit
In August, 2008, 18 mountain climbers reached the top of K2. 48 hours later, 11 people were dead. While memorials paid tribute to those killed, there were also condemnations about 'the why.' Why do these athletes risk everything to reach a place humans are simply not meant to go? With breathtaking cinematography and jaw dropping reenactments based on the testimony of those who survived the climb, this thrilling film is about the very nature of adventure in the modern world.

November 22, 1963 is a day that changed the world forever when beloved American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. PARKLAND is the true story behind that tragic day, told from the vantage point of individuals who are forced to make split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event that will change the world's landscape forever: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the unwitting cameraman who captured what has become the most examined film in history, the FBI Agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson who had to take control of a country in a moment's notice. Thrust into a scenario with unimaginable consequences, these key figures respond with shock, outrage, determination and courage. Woven together, their seemingly disparate perspectives create one of the most thrilling and powerful stories never told.
