Adjusted Score: 88632%

Adjusted Score: 48540%

Critics Consensus: Director Refn remains as visually stylish as ever, but Only God Forgives fails to add enough narrative smarts or relatable characters to ground its beautifully filmed depravity.

Adjusted Score: 37393%

Adjusted Score: 39370%

Critics Consensus: Though it’s stylish and features a talented cast, Gangster Squad suffers from lackluster writing, underdeveloped characters, and an excessive amount of violence.

Adjusted Score: 33975%

Adjusted Score: 30057%

Critics Consensus: A muddled brain-teaser, Stay has a solid cast and innovative visuals but little beneath the surface.
