It's an infalliby funny gambit...

| Dec 2, 2002

The attempts to extract comedy from this grim raw material are leaden, blood-soaked disasters.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Oct 15, 2002

Idle Hands may be the devil's playground, but empty minds are the venue for this time waster.

| Mar 24, 2002

Its mixture of slapstick humour and gore -- produced by the flying fingers -- gives new meaning to the phrase digital effects.

When it's over, you may feel like cutting off your own hand for having paid good money at the ticket counter.
