GOOD

4. Funny Games (2008) 7

FAIR

ADEQUATE

11. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) 5

13. Stay Alive (2006) 5

FROM BAD TO WORSE

(NO!  MY EYES!  MY EYES!)

14. Gamer (2009) CRAP  
    Brainless, ultraviolent sci-fi mishmash of bad writing, bad acting, jerky editing, digital effects and boobs.
    
15. Reindeer Games (2000) CRAP  
    A violent, preposterous bellyflop of a heist thriller. Stars Ben Affleck and Charlize Theron.
