...assistant D.A. Jamie Foxx and the rest of Philadelphia with murders of a scheming, Saw-like sadism. Saddled with a scathing 16% score from the "top critics" monitored on Rotten Tomatoes (Wild Things nabbed a gentleman's 68%), Citizen won audiences on star quality and the movie marketplace's lack of other adult-themed melodrama - read: crap for grownups.

They make few grand claims about communism as a system of government. To some extent, the lack of some overarching statement or idea is frustrating, but it simultaneously feels just. Instead of prescribing a specific view, “The Wall in My Head” makes the reader think, reconsider, and question accepted wisdom...
