Carnage
After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the "victim" invite the parents of the "bully" over to work out their issues. A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colors. None of them will escape the carnage.

Roman Polanski's adaptation of Yasmina Reza's Tony-winning play God of Carnage gets almost everything wrong. The movie version, retitled Carnage, takes place over a single morning in an upscale Brooklyn apartment, where two sets of couples meet to discuss a violent playground altercation between their sons. But Polanski keeps us trapped in the apartment and then self-consciously calls attention to the artificiality of the scenario -- every time Nancy (Kate Winslet) and Alan (Christoph Waltz) try to leave, Penelope (Jodie Foster) and Michael (John C. Reilly) call them back inside. Much like he did with 1994's Death and the Maiden, Polanski has taken stagebound material and made it seem even more visually inert and dramatically contrived.
