- Downbeat science-fiction that takes an interesting concept but fails to develop it in a stimulating way; Robin Williams is at his most buttoned-up as the expert cutter, draining the movie of any vitality.

  Final Cut
  
  Robin Williams is a superb dramatic actor but this film was so slow, tedious and boring, we almost gave up before the end.
