| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenImpressive special effects and action scenes, including knocking off the top of the Washington Monument, blowing up one of the wings of the White House, but it can't overcome a dumb plot and lack of interesting characters. |

| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsButler hardly knocks it out of the park, but he steals the film. And what a film... |
