'Carnage'
Sony Classics
Release Date: Dec. 16 limited
Based on the famed by play Yasmina Reza, 'Carnage' focuses on two Brooklyn couples (Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly and Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz) who meet after their sons get into a fight. Over the course of one afternoon -- played out in real time -- the pairs fight, fight, fight and fight some more. Directed by Roman Polanski, 'Carnage' is bitter and funny at times, but too often shrill and pointless. Look for Waltz -- a previous Oscar winner for 'Inglourious Basterds' -- to get some awards heat for his buttoned-up businessman who speaks his mind with extreme prejudice. -- Christopher Rosen
