Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Delivers its first jolts moments after the opening credits and serves up surprisingly tender moments amidst the suspense and heart-pounding action. A  
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstead

Rapace's Lisbeth Salander is worth the trouble; you haven't seen a cold stare like this since Clint was roaming the Italian hillsides. Then he was the man with no name, and now we have the woman with no fear.

B  
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy

Directed by Daniel Alfredson and adapted by Jonas Frykberg, it's more gripping than Tattoo.

A- 
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's just as violent and darkly creepy as the first film, but the richly satisfying payoff isn't there. C+ 
NPR
Bob Mondello
...the first picture's ferocity remains intact here, as do its fetishes regarding political corruption, sexual violence and the riveting Rapace... B+
Los Angeles Times
Betsey Sharkey

As satisfying as The Girl Who Played With Fire is, it leaves you longing for more.

Reelviews
James Berardinelli
"...the responsibility for being funny rests on the shoulders of Ferrell and, for the first time in several years, he is up to the task..." B  
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"Ferrell is effortlessly uproarious. And watching hardass Wahlberg, in his first starring shot at farce, shake his sillies out is not to be missed."  B  
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"A frustrating movie, albeit one with a lot of laughs..."  B-
E! Online
Dezhda Gaubert
"Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg milk dry their default movie personas, but it's all part of the joke--and what a great joke it is."  A-
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
"It's a comedy of manhood for the age of emasculation."  A-
Filmcritic.com
Jason Morgan
"...the film's disjointed plot and inconsistent tone never give the two comic foils the time to create a comedy partnership."  C-
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
"...ridiculously entertaining..."  A-

2010 ACADEMY AWARD WINNER ****BEST FOREIGN FILM****

PEOPLE'S THEATRE HIGHLY RECCOMMENDS ....

THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES  (R)

The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos)

Art/Foreign, Mystery, Romance, Thriller. 2 hr 9 min. Unpredictable and rich with symbolism, this Argentinian murder mystery lives up to its Oscar with an engrossing plot, Juan Jose Campanella's assured direction, and mesmerizing performances from its cast.

Benjamin Esposito has spent his entire working life as a criminal court employee. Recently retired and with time on his hands, he decides to write a novel, drawn on his own past as a civil servant for a true, moving and tragic story in which he was once very directly involved. In 1974, his court was assigned an investigation into the rape and murder of a beautiful young woman. He meets Ricardo Morales, who had married the girl a short time before and worshipped her body and soul. Moved by Ricardo's grief, Esposito tries to help him find the culprit despite having to contend with the apathy and ineptitude of the police and legal system, as Argentina in 1974 is not a peaceful place. It is a perfect backdrop for the violence, hate, revenge and death that rule people's lives and fates. As Esposito writes, he relives a past that rises up before his eyes a his past decisions, uncertainties and irreparable mistakes. As he moves forward, Esposito begins to see that telling a story from the past is no longer just a pastime to fill his empty hours. It becomes a narrow, winding path he must take if he is to understand and find justification for his own life, if he is to give any meaning to the years remaining to him, and if once and for all he is to face up to the woman who, thirty years on, he is still in love with.

 Starring: Ricardo Darín, Soledad Villamil, Pablo Rago, Javier Godino
Director: Juan José Campanella

Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Sometimes I watch a film unspool like a tape measure, and I can sense how far we are from the end. Sometimes my imagination is led to live right along with it. A  
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
An attractive, messy drama riddled with violence and edged with comedy that comes with a hint of Grand Guignol, a suggestion of politics and three resonant, deeply appealing performances. A
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
An absorbing story of the unlikely intersection of an unrequited love affair and an unresolved crime, this taut thriller features some bravura cinematic moments and memorable performances from an exceptionally attractive cast of players. A 
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
This beautiful film, directed with subtlety and grace by Juan José Campanella, really is about moving from fear to love.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This spellbinder from Argentina will sneak up and floor you. It's that good. A+
