Better than most January releases, the time of year when studios throw their junk at unsuspecting moviegoers, but it still isn't anything that will be remembered by the time 2008 rolls around.

The vile sadism of the Saw movies has been replaced by decorative references to Saint Augustine and Immanuel Kant, and there's a beautiful but brainy police profiler (Justine Waddell) on hand to dispense a thick layer of psychobabble.

about half-way through the film, I started to get a sinking feeling that this was leading to a giant cliche

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2007

...a mix of earnest uncertainty and shameless over-the-top hamminess.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 11, 2007

If you happen to be a sheltered religious kid who's dying to see a serial-killer movie but is barred by parental authority from seeing any film containing profanity, gore, or sexual tension, this is your chance.

The scene of faux flames burning in front of a city bus will go down in the annals of Le Cinema du Frommage.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Jan 10, 2007

Thr3e basically has two modes: boring mode and stupid mode. The film is only 108 minutes long, but I swear there are periods where it felt like it might as well have been 308.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 6, 2007

| Original Score: C | Jan 6, 2007

I've seen films that said nothing in entertaining, even compelling ways. 'Thr3e' is not one of them. At least it's not wholesome too.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 5, 2007

There's precious little in the way of clammy tension or mounting apprehension as Thr3e plods toward a climax that is startlingly absurd, yet not entirely illogical.

Ultimately Three, for all its philosophizing, is little more than a standard serial-killer movie with pretensions.

Full Review | Jan 5, 2007

Ultimately aimed at a Christian audience looking for genre entertainment with a certain sense of propriety, the film tries to serve two masters and doesn't quite deliver for either.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 5, 2007

It's awfully familiar, right up to the ending, which bogarts the ending of another recent thrill-kill movie but, in fairness, I won't reveal that flick's identity.

If Thr3e is any indication of what we can expect from the emerging trend of studio-funded faith-based movies, we may find ourselves wishing The Passion of the Christ had been a box-office bomb.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 5, 2007

Thr3e is an eccentric combination of horror film and religious morality play that isn't entirely successful on either level but gets by on the sheer professionalism of its makers.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 5, 2007

A tame variation on the usual serial-killer art direction and a hilarious number of A-Team-style explosions in which no one is killed. It's offensively dull.

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Jan 5, 2007

Suspenselessly directed by Robby Henson, Thr3e commits the eighth deadly sin -- boredom.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 5, 2007

It's a pretty run-of-the-mill B suspense movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 5, 2007

Thr3e is far short of Se7en.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 5, 2007

It's relentlessly mediocre and does not belong in a venue where you'll have to pay $9 to see it.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 5, 2007
