Bone Burnett is going to impress the audience with the many authentic gospel songs he has researched for "The Ladykillers" soundtrack. ... Full Review

Enjoyment of this movie may very well depend on your mood on one hand....It's not a thoughtful film like Fargo or O Brother Where Art Thou.....their well of crazily fascinating characters appears far from dry..... ... Full Review

The film is worth seeing for its language alone. It's almost clich to say it at this point, but again Tom Hanks given an outstanding performance, masterfully treading the border of believability and grotesquery. ... Full Review
