If the movie ends too abruptly, it still gives plenty of screen time to its nicely screwed-up central character. And it's still a solid, assured feature debut from the latest brothers to ... Read the review

This lacks the heft of "The Insider" (1999) or the snap of "Erin Brockovich" (2000), but it's a thoughtful entry in the growing subgenre of whistle-blower dramas. Read the review

Though conceptually intriguing, the mix of downward drug spiral with uphill struggle for good never really coalesces. Read the review

Puncture's story only moves forward thanks to Evans's charm. But a good lead performance can't single-handedly save thin material. Read the review

Puncture is proudly "Based on a True Story." As is so often the case, this means an indifference to "true" human relationships in favor of crusading self-righteousness. Read the review
