The Guardian wants more than anything to be a summer blockbuster. But as a fall movie in earnest--clocking in at well over two hours, no less--the movie is stripped bare and revealed as a middling action flick without much action.
Part thriller, part mind-bending absurdity, Stay will definitely leave you scratching your head. But try to stay until the end--it might make up for the rest of it.
Rize is an 85-minute head-nodding maelstrom of pent-up human energy, bustin' to get out. Its larger themes are mostly effective, if familiar. See it for an appreciation of not only music, but the resiliency and sensitivity of the human spirit.
